BACKGROUND Despite several polysomnographic studies on periodic leg movements (PLM) in healthy sleep, data on the prevalence and characteristics of periodic arm movements (PAM) in normal subjects are lacking. We aimed to investigate PAM and their association with PLM during wakefulness and sleep in healthy subjects. METHODS Ninety-one participants underwent video-polysomnography according to ...

abstract in this study the comparative advantage of wheat in sistan was investigated by using drc index and policy analysis matrix (pam) during 2006-2007. data were collected from zabol agri-jahad organization and annual foreign trade database. the npc index showed that there was an indirect tax on producers in all sectors. epc index represented that there were nonsupport of input and output ma...

Glioblastoma brain tumor cells and normal cells were treated with plasma-activated medium (PAM). Cell proliferation assays showed that glioblastoma cells were selectively killed by PAM. PAM induced apoptosis on glioblastoma. There are many signaling pathways that lead to apoptosis. We found that PAM downregulated the PI3K/PTEN-AKT pathway that is responsible for cell survival and proliferation ...

We propose a family of Passive-Aggressive Mahalanobis (PAM) algorithms, which are incremental (online) binary classifiers that consider the distribution of data. PAM is in fact a generalization of the Passive-Aggressive (PA) algorithms to handle data distributions that can be represented by a covariance matrix. The update equations for PAM are derived and theoretical error loss bounds computed....

We report the synthesis of new polymers based on a dimethylacrylamide-methacrylate (DMAA-MA) co-polymer backbone that support both chemical and biological agent decontamination. Polyurethanes containing the redox enzymes glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase can convert halide ions into active halogens and exert striking bactericidal activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteri...

Restoring physical quality of acidic Luvisols from the Ethiopian highlands subjected to long-term conventional tillage (CT) by traditional no (NT) system may take 20–30 years. Use exogenous additives speed up reclamation soil quality. The objective study was examine effects combining two systems (NT and CT) with (polyacrylamide [PAM] lime) on accelerating structure stabilization Luvisols. high ...
