Background: Osteoporosis is denoted by low bone mass and microarchitectural breakdown of bone tissue, directing to increased fracture risk and bone fragility. Fractures may lead to a decreased quality of life and increased medical costs. Thus, osteoporosis is widely considered a significant health concern.

Objective. This study aimed to compare quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and dual-energy X-Ray absorptiometry (DXA) to detect osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Subjects and Methods. We measured spinal volumetric bone mineral density (BMD) with QCT and areal spinal and hip BMD with DXA in 164 postmenopausal women. We calculated the osteo

In this article, it is interesting to estimate and derive the three parameters which contain two scales parameters and one shape parameter of a new mixture distribution for the singly type one censored data which is the branch of right censored sample. Then to define some special mathematical and statistical properties for this new mixture distribution which is considered one of the continuous distributions characterized by its flexibility. Next,  using maximum likelihood estimator method for singly type one censored data based on the Newton-Raphson matrix procedure to find and estimate values of these three parameter by utilizing the real data taken from the National Center for Research and Treatment of Hematology/University of Mus

In this research estimated the parameters of Gumbel distribution Type 1 for Maximum values through the use of two estimation methods:- Moments (MoM) and Modification Moments(MM) Method. the Simulation used for comparison between each of the estimation methods to reach the best method to estimate the parameters where the simulation was to generate random data follow Gumbel distributiondepending on three models of the real values of the parameters for different sample sizes with samples of replicate (R=500).The results of the assessment were put in tables prepared for the purpose of comparison, which made depending on the mean squares error (MSE).

Frictional heat is generated when the clutch starts to engag. As a result of this operation the surface temperature is increased rapidly due to the difference in speed between the driving and driven parts. The influence of the thickness of frictional facing on the distribution of the contact pressure of the multi-disc clutches has been investigated using a numerical approach (the finite element method). The analysis of contact problem has been carried out for a multiple disc dry clutch (piston, clutch discs, separators and pressure plate). The results present the distribution of the contact pressure on all tShe surfaces of friction discs that existed in the friction clutch system. Axisymmetric finite element models have been developed to ac

AbstractBackgroundLeishmaniasis is endemic in Iraq, where both cutaneous and visceral forms of the disease are reported.ObjectivesTo determine the prevalence of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and to identify associations of CL with age, sex, season, and provinces depending on some demographic and climatic aspects.MethodsThis study is retrospective and includes reported cases of infections using the available surveillance database taken from the Iraqi Ministry of Health for the years 2011, 2012, and 2013 for all provinces of Iraq.ResultsMen and boys were found to be at higher risk for CL compared with women and girls. The majority of cases were recorded among those in age groups 5–14 and 15–45 years old. Most cases were recorded from lowla

The e-commerce is one of the best achievements of the twentieth century, since the conduct commercial transactions via the Internet may be the consumer easy selection process and purchase convenient manner different from traditional methods, and with the beginnings of the new millennium impose the emergence of e-commerce term significant challenges to the insurance industry as an important economic sectors Generally, and insurance companies in particular as a result of scientific development, which has led to a reduction in costs and innovation in the production, which led to intense competition on both levels local or global. The insurance industry is a vital part of the economy and it has a varied impact to the community and individual

El presente trabajo es un estudio sintáctico y práctico en que se trata de explicar el funcionamiento de "ya" en la oración, el objetivo principal de este estudio es el análisis del complejo significado de "ya" teniendo en cuenta el modo de la acción del verbo sobre el que incide semánticamente el adverbio.

   En este estudio empírico aclaramos los distintos valores de "ya" e intentamos demostrar que es un adverbio que significa una determinada modalidad del enunciado.

   Pero antes de explicar detalladamente nuestro estudio presentaremos un resumen del adverbio en general , porque "ya" es uno de los adverbios de tiempo , este p

Cuáles son los escritores que aun triunfan en España? ¿A cuáles tendencias o escuelas representan? ¿Todavía mantiene prestigio fecundo en el estudio literario? A todas tales preguntas queríamos ofrecer nuestro planteamiento investigativo en la página de las más importantes de la literatura española contemporánea, pero según nuestro punto de ver a las cosas.
La panorámica de la literatura española a partir del año 1860 no ofrece un tema o un estilo mutuamente románticos, aun cuando en este romanticismo decaído ya se advierten muy acusados los tones que se decoloran y los dibujos que se desvanecen. De esta realidad surge la necesidad del toque tan importante como el de Ramón del Valle Inclán cuya obra se encuentra nue

Desde la Salamanca de doradas piedras que tantas veces cantara, don Miguel de Unamuno dio a la literatura y al pensamiento españoles unas obras que, a pesar de muchos pesares, perdura viva, como viva fue su agónica existencia.  

   El bilbaíno Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936) es autor de al menos, doce obras teatrales. Su costumbre de mezclar géneros literarios, sin distinguir claramente el drama de la novela dialogada, le llevó a preferir el teatro leído. De ahí que sus estrenos fuesen, frecuentemente, muy posteriores a las ediciones impresas.

Abstract:

   The Bilbao Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936) is the author of at least twelve plays. His habit of mixing genres,

All alive languages had passed linguistic changes that made the mother language not recognized by its present speakers. Some of these changes are: syntactical, semantical, orthographical, phonetical and lexical.During the period of changes which extends over centuries, there had been a lof of written texts, such as literately texts, biographies, personal memories and manuscripts which are conserved until now as a literatel, historic and linguistic testimonies.Spanish is one of these languages that had been changed, so, the poem of the Cid (1145) was written in a Spanish which differs from the Spanish in which Cervantes wrote the Don Quixote in (1605/1615) and the Spanish of both of them differs from the Spanish of Francisco Ayala and Azorin
