Obstetric and perinatal histories of children who died unexpectedly (cot death).

Olefin Production from Heavy Liquid Hydrocarbon Thermal Cracking: Kinetics and Product Distribution

Thermal cracking of a heavy liquid hydrocarbon was performed in a laboratory scale tubular reactor. Central Composite Design (CCD), was used as an experimental design method. The design variables were Coil Outlet Temperature (COT), feed flow and rate steam ratio. Maximum yield of ethylene was 30.37 wt% at COT, residence time and steam ratio of 869oC, 0.208 s and 1.22 g/g, respect...

Several Differentiation Formulas of Special Functions. Part VI

The papers [11], [13], [1], [15], [2], [8], [9], [16], [5], [12], [10], [4], [6], [7], and [14] provide the notation and terminology for this paper. In this paper x denotes a real number and Z denotes an open subset of R. One can prove the following propositions: (1) Suppose Z ⊆ dom((the function tan) ·(the function cot)). Then (i) (the function tan) ·(the function cot) is differentiable on Z, ...

The COOH-terminal domain of wild-type Cot regulates its stability and kinase specific activity.

Cot, initially identified as an oncogene in a truncated form, is a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase implicated in cellular activation and proliferation. Here, we show that this truncation of Cot results in a 10-fold increase in its overall kinase activity through two different mechanisms. Truncated Cot protein exhibits a lower turnover rate (half-life, 95 min) than wild-type Cot (...

Spatiotemporal Variations of Total Cloud Cover and Cloud Optical Thickness in Iran

A knowledge of cloud properties and spatiotemporal variations of clouds is especially crucial to understand the radiative forcing of climate. This research aims to study cloudiness in Iran using the most recent satellite data, powerful databases, and regional and seasonal analyses. In this study, three data series were used for the spatiotemporal variations of cloudiness in the country: A) Clou...
