The concept of syn re chains has been proposed by Abeles as a reason able biophysical model for cortical long time correlations and replicating spike patterns in multi unit recordings Some recent computational modelling ap proaches extend the model into a functional direction proposing that the synchronization of syn re chains may help to solve the binding problem of cortical information proces...

A series of luminescent fac-[Re(CO)3(L)(NN)](+) complexes, where L is a pyridine or an imidazole and NN is the 1,10-phenanthroline subunit of mixed donor pentadentate thioether crowns have been synthesised and their luminescence properties have been analysed. Then, heterometallic Re(i)/Au(i) complexes, with the Au(i) fragment bonded directly to the imidazole ligand, and heterometallic Re(i)/Ag(...

Comments Re a) After individual genetic counseling with regard to the risk of miscarriage caused by the invasive procedure and the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormality, every pregnant woman/couple decides whether an amniocentesis should be performed. From a strictly medical point of view, it is desirable that the risk of chromosomal abnormality be at least as high as that of miscarriage caused...

Background: The aim of this study was evaluation of developmental rate and Bax, Bcl-2 and ErbB4 genes expression following re-vitrification in compact and early blastocysts stages. Materials and Methods: 5-8 cell embryos were collected from female mature mice, 60-62 hours post hCG injection. The embryos were divided to five groups including: fresh, vitrified at 5-8 cells, vitrified at blastocys...

Multiple scan chain has been used in DFT (design for test) architectures primarily to reduce test application time. Since power is an emerging problem, in this paper, we present a design technique for multiple scan chain in BIST (Built-In Self Test) to reduce average power dissipation and test application time, while maintaining the fault coverage. First, we partition the scan chain into a set ...

This paper reports on an oil/retail petrol supply chain which was undergoing a Business Process Reengineering (BPR) exercise. The paper models and analyses the effect of information sharing on the performance parameters (inventory costs and bullwhip effect) of an actual Serbian oil industry supply chain. The main idea is to show through business process modelling how the BPR of existing process...

In this paper, we address the problem of learning the structure of Gaussian chain graph models in a high-dimensional space. Chain graph models are generalizations of undirected and directed graphical models that contain a mixed set of directed and undirected edges. While the problem of sparse structure learning has been studied extensively for Gaussian graphical models and more recently for con...

Rendering the supply chain more eco-friendly is an innovative idea progressively adopted by industry. Consequently, our research focuses on the CO2 emissions along the supply chain due to freight energy use and storage. A supply chain approach by using a discrete event model was developed. Our proposed tool is able to model Re Order Point production management policy (ROP) and the main demand r...

roots of helianthemum species were collected from various rangeland sites in fars, and other provinces in iran. the partial small subunits of ribosomal dna genes were amplified with the genomic dna extracted from their roots by nested polymerase chain reaction (pcr) using the universal fungal primer pair its1/its4 and specific primer pair ftc/rtc, which was designed based on internal transcribe...
