Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon of cyclic endometrial exfoliation caused by changes in the level of sex hormones (estrogens and progesterone), under the system of mutual feedback between the gonads, the anterior pituitary gland, and the hypothalamus. Amongst surgeons, there is belief that menstruation is a contraindication to elective surgery. This is attributed to the functional imp...

We consider several families of combinatorial polytopes associated with the following NP-complete problems: maximum cut, Boolean quadratic programming, quadratic linear ordering, quadratic assignment, set partition, set packing, stable set, 3-assignment. For comparing two families of polytopes we use the following method. We say that a family P is affinely reduced to a family Q if for every pol...

Collective behavior of S6 peptide channels derived from KvAP (a bacterial potassium channel) incorporated in lipid bilayer membrane, has been investigated at various applied potentials through multi-channel electrophysiological experiments. The current versus time traces at any particular membrane potential show clear steps for sequential opening of the multi-channels. The minimum current (repr...

− A mobile ad hoc network represents a state of system dynamics where the topology changes rapidly. This is further complicated with the necessity of real world mobility abstraction, represented by mobility models. The other major players in this system are wireless links, often supplemented by limitations in terms of bandwidth, link breakage, etc. With the above mentioned characteristics, it a...

the present study examined the effect of grouped meta-cognitive therapy on anxiety of patients' suffering from generalized anxiety disorder. this research is a quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design with control group in which two groups of experiment and control are used. the present study population includes all state universities, islamic azad universities of tabriz stude...

In this paper we study problems where one has to prove that certain graph parameter attains its maximum at the star and its minimum at the path among the trees on a fixed number of vertices. We give many applications of the socalled generalized tree shift which seems to be a powerful tool to attack the problems of the above mentioned kind. We show that the generalized tree shift increases the l...

Spontaneous, idiopathic urinary bladder rupture is a very rare disease entity, which may face the problem of proper preoperative diagnosis. In many cases the medical history, physical examination, and additional tests raise false suspicion of gastrointestinal perforation. The study presented a case of a female patient with spontaneous urinary bladder perforation, paying particular attention to ...

In a previous paper (see http:/www.math.ohio-state.edu/ ̃czorn/ works.html), we computed examples of the doubling integral for constituents of the unramified principal series of Sp2(F ) and S̃p2(F ) where F was a nondyadic field. These computations relied on certain “good test vectors” and “good theta test sections” motivated by the non-vanishing of theta lifts. In this paper, we aim to prove a p...

LEVANDER (1938) has shown that an alcohol extract prepared from bone can, when injected into rabbit muscle, induce there cartilage and bone cells. This observation has been confirmed by several investigators (Annersten, 1940; Bertelsen, 1944; Lacroix, 1945; Levander, 1949; Willestaedt, Levander & Hult, 1950). Of these, Bertelsen has shown in addition that not only is an extract prepared from bo...

Industrial circuits contain, in addition to the binary logic elements n]and, n]or and n]xor gates, other logic elements such as three-state elements, busses and bidirectionals. Previous published work on automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) can not handle all of the above mentioned circuit elements, generates too large test sets, or generates test patterns which can cause circuit damage. A ...
