Abstract To conduct a successful geomechanical characterization of rock masses, an appropriate interpretation of lithological heterogeneity should be attained by considering both the geological and geomechanical data.In order to clarify the reliability and applicability of geological surveys for rock mechanics purposes, a geomechanical characteriza
Identifying hidden coalitions in the US House of Representatives by optimally partitioning signed networks based on generalized balance
Abstract In network science, identifying optimal partitions of a signed network into internally cohesive Benches and mutually divisive clusters based on generalized balance theory is computationally challenging.We reformulate and generalize two binary linear programming models that tackle this challenge, demonstrating their practicality by applying
Purulent Pericarditis after Liver Abscess: A Case Report
We present the case of a Benches 49-year-old woman, with previous clinical antecedents of recent hepatic metastasis, who was admitted to the ICU due to respiratory failure and hemodynamic instability.She was found to have purulent pericarditis complicated by pericardial tamponade and pleural effusion, as well as surgical site infection, which was t
Efficient use of energy and resource through conservation and recovery in breweries
Breweries are relatively large scale plants and highly energy consuming industry.Basically, beer production is divided to three processes, Brewing, Fermentation and Packaging.Brewing requires high heat consumption, particularly the wort kettle consumes one third (1/3) of steam consumption of entire plant.Fermentation with maturation process consume
Treatment of patients with prolonged course of medial temporal epilepsy
Objective.The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of treatment in patients with prolonged duration of medial Toys Other temporal epilepsy (MTE).Materials and methods.We studied cases of 93 patients with history of MTE lasted more than 10 years.Results.This form of epilepsy is often characterized by drug resistance; therefore, patients hav
