Imbalanced time series are universally found in industrial applications, where the number of normal samples is far larger than that of abnormal cases.Traditional machine learning algorithms, such as support vector machine and convolutional neural networks, are struggling to attain high classification accuracies for class-imbalanced problems, becaus
Availability of emergency contraception in large Brazilian municipalities: a guaranteed right?

Sewage sludge ash (SSA) in high performance concrete: characterization and application
ABSTRACT Sewage sludge originated from the process Left Handlebar of treatment of wastewater has become an environmental issue for three main reasons: contains pathogens, heavy metals and organic compounds that are harmful to the environmental and human health; high volumes are daily generated; and shortage of landfill sites for proper disposal.Thi
Effect of lubricants on the properties of tablets compressed from varied size granules
Magnesium stearate (MgSt) is one of the most widely used solid lubricants in oral solid dosage forms.However, MgSt can negatively impact the tablets, decreasing their mechanical properties and lengthening disintegration/dissolution times.The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of MgSt and Sodium Stearyl Floor Mats Fumarate (SSF) lubr
