With the increasing number of polymorphic markers identified on the genetic map, positional cloning has become an extremely powerful tool, permitting the linkage and identification of a large number of disease genes. As the human genome project pro­ gresses and the gene map becomes as dense as the microsatellite polymorphism map, scientists will identify more disease genes through a combination...

The relaxation of a nonequilibrium solid to a fluid is determined by observing the positional order parameter in Monte Carlo simulations, and discussed based on diffusion processes in the hard-particle systems. From the cumulant expansion up to the second order, the relation between the positional order parameter Psi and the mean square displacement is obtained to be Psi approximately ex...

The routine quality assurance (QA) procedure for a high-dose-rate (HDR) 192Ir radioactive source is an important task to provide appropriate brachytherapy. Traditionally, it has been difficult to obtain good quality images using the 192Ir source due to irradiation from the high-energy gamma rays. However, a direct-conversion flat-panel detector (d-FPD) has made it possible to confirm the locali...

Fast radio transient search algorithms identify signals of interest by iterating and applying a threshold on set matched filters. These filters are defined properties the such as time dispersion. A real can trigger hundreds trials, each which has to be post-processed for visualization classification tasks. In this paper, we have explored range unsupervised clustering cluster these redundant can...

We report experiments which compare the ability of subjects to employ colour vs luminance contrast as a basis for discriminating the degree of collinearity of random element string pairs. The purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which spatial integration mechanisms could utilize colour contrast. In order to probe directly the processes of spatial integration per se, it was necess...

background and aim: vestibular migraine is a type of migraine that causes vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance in addition to typical migraine symptoms. in this study, we aimed to investigate vestibular system in these patients by videonystagmography (vng), electrocochleography (ecochg), and vestibular evoked myogenic potential (vemp) testing. methods: this empirical study was conducted on 10 pati...

As agents of strategic institutional change, entrepreneurs (IEs) draw resources from their structural environment to alter the context in which they are embedded. In this article, we explore IEs mobilize different settings. We distinguish between (positional or free) field and personal resources, all may be material, cultural, social, symbolic political kind. Our review leading case studies ent...
