introduction: determination of thyrotropin, total and free thyroxine and triiodothyronine are widely used as diagnostic methods for thyroid function evaluation. there have been numerous reports of interferences in thyroid hormone immunoassays. herein, a prominent positive interference is reported for a radioimmunoassay kit of total triiodothyronine. materials and methods: in this study, a total...

This paper studies interference alignment scheme and minimum mean square error (MMSE) improvement in Internet of Things (IoT)-oriented cognitive systems, where IoT devices share the licensed spectrum by cognitive radio in spectrum underlay. Target to manage the inter-tier interference caused by cognitive spectrum sharing as well as ensure an MMSE at receivers, the interference alignment algorit...

the modeling investigation in this paper discusses the system level effects of a toxicant on a three species food chain system. in the models, we have assumed that the presence of top predator reduces the predatory ability of the intermediate predator. the stability analysis of the models is carried out and the sufficient conditions for the existence and extinction of the populations under the ...

background and aims: inhibition of viral growth in coinfected cells with two different viruses has been described. this phenomenon known as viral interference can occur in several virus host systems such as interference of enterovirus infection on poliovirus vaccine strains. in this study we superinfected reovirus infected hela cells with poliovirus to determine if poliovirus can replicate in s...

background: person-organization fit is an effective factor for recruiting, selection, and retention of human resources in organizations. objective: this study examined the correlation between person-organization fit and performance indicators used in healthcare in the hospitals affiliated with qazvin university of medical sciences (qums). methods: this descriptive cross-sectional study was cond...

Borgström et al. proposed a notion of symbolic bisimilarity for the Extended Spi Calculus [12]. They developed a prototype tool, called SBC (Symbolic Bisimulation Checker) [10] implementing observational equivalence checking for arbitrary processes using shared-key cryptography. However, it is based on hard-coded equational theories. We have partially extended SBC towards checking processes usi...

This paper builds a bridge between research on regulatory focus in motivation and classification learning. It tests the hypothesis that a fit between the situational regulatory focus and the reward structure of the task leads to greater cognitive flexibility than a mismatch between situational focus and the reward structure and that the fit between the regulatory focusinduced processing charact...

1. Analogies between knowledge and action Knowledge and its Limits starts its exposition of the knowledge-first approach to epistemology with a structural analogy between knowledge and action as the two key relations between mind and world (Williamson 2000, pp. 1, 6-8). The aim of this chapter is to reconsider the relation between knowledge and action, and refine the analogy. 2 Consider the opp...
