abstract background: fatigue is the most common side effect of chemotherapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all).acupressure is one of the most popular non‑pharmacologic methods used to reduce fatigue in other settings. the aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of acupressure on reducing fatigue among children with all compared with a placebo treatment. materials and method...

Since 1905, when they were annexed by Japan’s Shimane prefecture, Liancourt Rocks—known as Dokdo by the Koreans and as Takeshima by the Japanese—have been a sticking point in relations between the two countries. Although South Korea has had effective control over the islets since the 1950s, Japan continues to contest those claims. More recently in the 2000s, several incidents have served to agg...

The main factors of the developmental environment of marine source rocks in continental margin basins have their specificality. This realization, in return, has led to the recognition that the developmental environment and pattern of marine source rocks, especially for the source rocks in continental margin basins, are still controversial or poorly understood. Through the analysis of the trace ...

Once segmentation of 3D surface data of a rock pile has been performed, the next task is to determine the visibility of the surface rocks. A region boundary-following algorithm that accommodates irregularly spaced 3D coordinate data is presented for determining this visibility. We examine 3D surface segmentations of laboratory rock piles and determine which regions in the segmentation correspon...

dezful embayment contains several potential source rocks deposited in tectonically active environments. existence of various source rocks with different geological ages makes this area one of the most prolific regions throughout the middle east. the pabdeh formation (lower paleocene-eocene), the gurpi formation (santonian-masstrichtian), the kazhdumi formation (albian) and the gadvan formation ...

If we are to talk about molecules of life, the ribosome, made of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and protein, is a key: it stands at the junction between information and action, i.e. between nucleic acids and proteins. It is an extraordinarily sophisticated machine that takes the information present in mRNA and uses it to build proteins, containing over 250K atoms, and measuring more than 200 in every dir...

The effect of an electroless Ni-Cu-P coating on the fatigue behavior of quenched and tempered CK45 steel has been investigated. The fatigue tests under rotating bending conditions have been conducted in three different conditions of uncoated, as-deposited and shot peened prior to the coating deposition. The results indicate that plating of the base steel leads to a fatigue life reduction. The d...
