Although many theoretical studies have investigated which social learning biases are involved in the diffusion of information human groups, these still unknown. We investigated, for first time, whether factors such as ancestry, regularity evolutionary current environment, and previous experience with health conditions act along experimental transmission chains. performed an experiment based on ...

The purpose of the present paper is to develop light beam method to measurement of interfacial area in a rectangular gas-liquid bubble column. Total interfacial area can be determined in bubble column filled by transparent liquid by light transmission method. According to pervious researches, the fraction of parallel light is function of interfacial area and optical path l...

In order to reconstruct the structure of a long-period grating, both the complex core-to-core transmission function and the complex core-to-cladding transmission function should be known. However, in practice, only the core-to-core transmission function of the grating can be measured. We demonstrate theoretically the reconstruction of long-period gratings from only the core-to-core transmission...

PURPOSE To investigate the effects of chronic oxidative stress on lysosomal function in trabecular meshwork (TM) cells. METHODS Confluent cultures of porcine TM cells were grown for 2 weeks in physiological (5% O(2)) or hyperoxic conditions (40% O(2)) in the presence or absence of the protease inhibitor leupeptin (10 microM). The following parameters were quantified using the fluorogenic prob...

With the popularity of e-learning systems and wireless networks, there is an increasing demand on transmitting educational videos through dynamically changing wireless networks to mobile devices. We develop a system for content analysis and transmission of educational videos to accommodate the dynamic change of network bandwidths, different QoS requirements of users, and the variety of mobile d...
