Original meiotic or mitotic chromosome counts are presented for 17 species in 12 families of angiosperms from Iran. Chromosome counts for Amberboa nana, n=16 (Asteraceae) and Camelina rumelica subsp. transcapica, n=13 (Brassicaceae) are repoted for the first time. Chromosome numbers for six species including: Rhagadiolus stellatus (n=5), Campanula raponcoloides (n=34), Campanula trachelium (n=1...

Fair division is a fundamental problem in various multi-agent settings, where the goal to divide set of resources among agents fair manner. We study case m indivisible items need be divided n with additive valuations using popular fairness notion maximin share (MMS). An MMS allocation provides each agent bundle worth at least her share. While it known that such an not exist [1], [2], series rem...

The buyer’s type is his value  ∈ [ ] and the seller’s type is his cost  ∈ [ ]. The buyer’s value is drawn from a distribution (·) whose density (·) is nonzero on [ ], while the seller’s cost is drawn from the distribution  (·) whose density (·) is nonzero on [ ]. A trader observes his own type but not the type of the other trader. The buyer’s ex post utility from acquiring the...

Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration [CO2] will increase in the future and will affect global climate and ecosystem productivity. Crop models used in past assessments of climate change effect on ecosystem productivity have not been adequately tested for the ability to simulate ecosystem responses to [CO2]. Our objective was to evaluate the ability of the default CROPGRO–Soybean model to pre...

ABSTRACT An audit was made of laboratory records of triple test results from 943 Palestinian women residing in the West Bank from 2000–03. The mean expected age at delivery of the subjects was 2...

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing and it is estimated that by 2030 approximately 366 million people will be diagnosed with this condition. The use of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors is an emerging strategy for the treatment of T2DM. DPP-IV is a ubiquitous aminodipeptidase that cleaves incretins such as glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-depende...
