Energy consumption is considered as a critical issue in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Batteries of sensor nodes have limited power supply which in turn limits services and applications that can be supported by them. An efcient solution to improve energy consumption and even trafc in WSNs is Data Aggregation (DA) that can reduce the number of transmissions. Two main challenges for DA are: (i)...

background ducrosia anethifolia (da) is a medicinal plant traditionally used to treat a wide spectrum of illnesses. da contains a series of antioxidant compounds, including alpha-pinene, which give it a sedative and relaxing effect. in spite of these effects of da, the effects of da essential oil on anxiety and locomotor activity in open field tests have not yet been studied. in the present stu...

Let D = {z : |z| < 1} be the unit disk in the complex plane and denote by dA two-dimensional Lebesgue measure on D. For ε > 0 we define Σε = {z : | arg z| < ε}. We prove that for every ε > 0 there exists a δ > 0 such that if f is analytic, univalent and area-integrable on D, and f(0) = 0, then ∫ f−1(Σε) |f |dA > δ ∫

As there are few in situ observations in and around Antarctica, it is important to assess how assimilating remotely-sensed observations, such as satellite-observed radiances, can fill this observational gap. Thus, a month-long study was conducted over the Antarctic to examine forecast and analysis sensitivity to the assimilation of microwave radiance measurements. Several experiments were confi...

Originating from Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory, dynamic assessment (DA) proposes a novel approach to second language acquisition (SLA) research according to which a dialectical relationship is envisaged between instruction and assessment. Although DA has been applied to some areas of SLA, there are areas, such as interlanguage pragmatics (ILP), that have been neglected.  To address the issue,...

Because of participation in many aspects of human life, and due to oxidation-sensitive characteristics of dopamine (DA) and arachidonoyl dopamine (AA-DA), the necessity of biocompatible carrier to keep them against oxidation is of importance. In this work, we explored the putative binding sites of DA and AA-DA to -lactoglobulin (BLG) as potent carrier. Docking results identified the binding si...

The mGluR5 antagonist MPEP was used to study the role of mGluR5 in MPTP-induced injury of the nigrostriatal DA neurons. The findings indicate that acute blockade of mGluR5 may result in neuroprotective actions against MPTP neurotoxicity on nigral DA cell bodies and striatal DA terminals using stereological analysis of TH immunoreactivity and microdensitometry. Biochemical analysis showed no res...

We propose a simple algorithm which produces high dimensional Apollonian networks with both small-world and scale-free characteristics. We derive analytical expressions for the degree distribution, the clustering coefficient and the diameter of the networks, which are determined by their dimension. PACS numbers: 89.75.Hc, 89.75.Da, 89.20.Hh High dimensional Apollonian networks 2
