background: recent researches have known long term infections such as periodontal disease to be related with the process of atherosclerosis. periodontitis causes peripheral inflammation and immune cell stimulation which leads to an increase in c - reactive protein (crp) and iga ab and there is a definite relation between cardiovascular disease, crp increase and periodontitis. the aim of this st...

We re-examine, from a political economy perspective, the standard view that higher capital mobility results in lower capital taxes a view, in fact, that is not confirmed by the available empirical evidence. We show that when a small economy is opened to capital mobility, the change of incidence of a tax on capital from capital owners to owners of the immobile factor may interact in such a way w...

background and aim: total hip replacement (thr) is done comprehensively all over the world. despite the effects of braces on control of thr complications , few studies have been performed on this subject. the purpose of this study was to evaluate immediate effect of hip abduction brace on mobility and functional balance of patients with thr.    materials and methods: eight men and nine women wi...

OBJECTIVE To assess the construct and convergent validity of the 16 items of the Late-Life Disability Instrument (LLDI) in Latin American seniors. METHOD Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed to assess the factor structure of frequency and limitation sub-scales of the LLDI. ANOVA and t test were used to determine the convergent and construct validity of the LLDI by explo...

In this paper I examine how the politics of mobility is an important factor when considering the contentious nature of urban growth debates. By a politics of mobility I mean the political struggle over what type of transportation mode—be it automobile, transit, or walking— is developed in a city, and how urban space is configured to make various modes functional. More importantly, the politics ...

Toxo-OKA, T., NAKAYAMA, M. and MATSUMOTO, S. Analytical Study on Random Mobility and Chemokinesis of Human Granulocytes in the Agarose Plate. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1979, 127 (3), 229-235-The minimum essential factors which are necessary for random mobility and chemokinesis of human granulocytes in agarose plate induced by E. coli-derived chemotactic factor were studied in order to compare the es...

BACKGROUND Gc protein is the precursor for Gc protein-derived macrophage activating factor (GcMAF), with three phenotypes: Gc1f, Gc1s and Gc2, based on its electrophoretic mobility. The difference in electrophoretic mobility is because of the difference in its posttranslational sugar moiety composition. MATERIALS AND METHODS We compared the difference between Gc protein and GcMAF electrophore...

In many practical situations, the mobility is critical factor for an intended message delivery. Recently studies have found that mobility itself affects the network performance (capacity of the network, security, connectivity, coverage, etc.). However, how to effective use these characteristics of mobility in design DTN routing protocol has not been well studied yet. In this paper, we proposed ...
