This study was aimed at the histological investigation of the impact of experimental diabetes on the healthy gingiva of rats. Thirty male Wistar rats were used in this study. The animals were randomly divided into two groups (n = 15) prior to the experiment. Group 1 experimental diabetes was created by streptozotocin injection in 15 rats. Group 2 comprised the control group (15 rats). On the 7t...

Let G be a connected, unipotent, perfect group scheme over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0 and let E be a biextension (cf. [SGA7tI], exp. VII, no. 1) of G ×k G by the discrete group Qp/Zp. When E is skewsymmetric (cf. sec. 3.1), V. Drinfeld defined in [Dr] a certain metric group A (cf. appendix) associated to E. In this article, we prove a conjecture stated in [Dr] (cf. se...

Seit dem Jahr 2004 ermöglichen die Forschungsdatenzentren der Statistischen Ämter des Bundes und der Länder die Umsetzung eines gesetzlich eröffneten Privilegs für die Wissenschaft: den Zugang zu Mikrodaten der amtlichen Statistik für Forschungsvorhaben. Dieser Datennutzungsweg ist mittlerweile gut etabliert und insbesondere in der empirischen Agrarstrukturforschung weit verbreitet. Zum Beispie...

the arabic grammarians call the “main preposition + genitive noun” and an “adverb” a “prepositional phrase”. for prepositional phrases to assimilate into the sentence structure and fulfill their roles, they should have a specific connection and link to another part of the sentence. this link is called “attachment” and that part is named “attached phrase”. consequently, a prepositional phrase ca...

Network Attached Storage (NAS) has been gaining general acceptance, because it can be managed easily and files shared among many clients, which run different operating systems. The advent of Gigabit Ethernet and high speed transport protocols further facilitates the wide adoption of NAS. A distinct feature of NAS is that NAS involves both network I/O and file I/O. This paper analyzes the layere...

I nteractions with extracellular matrix proteins such as fi bronectin infl uence cell locomotion, survival, and even growth. At the crux of all these activities sit integrins, transmembrane receptors that pass environmental information into the cell and also modulate the cell's interactions with the exterior milieu. Appreciation and understanding of integrins' importance continues to grow, but ...

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) diagnostic instruments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are based on the Network Attached Device (NAD) concept. Each pickup or sensor has its own resources, such as networking, timing, data acquisition, and processing. NADs function independently thus reducing the brittleness inherent in tightly coupled systems. This paper describes our implementation of the ...

Policies focusing on enforcing property code violations and the improvement of vacant properties are argued to be more efficacious than demolition policies to fight urban blight. This study applies parcel level data to a multi-year hybrid modeling structure. A fine-grained analysis is conducted on the dynamic patterns of abandonment and demolition for a unique period of four years before and af...

Die Suche nach Lösungsansätzen zur Handhabung der im Automobilbereich oft zitierten, schwer handhabbaren Entwicklungskomplexität führt die Fahrzeughersteller zu den von einigen großen Zuliefererfirmen erfolgreich eingesetzten Produktlinien für softwareintensive Systeme (Software-Produktlinien). Nun gilt es seitens der Hersteller, ihre Potentiale für Software-Produktlinien zu identifizieren und ...
