BACKGROUND Oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy is effective in atrial fibrillation but requires vigilance to maintain the international normalized ratio in the therapeutic range. This report examines how differences in time in therapeutic range (TTR) between centers and between countries affect the outcomes of OAC therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS In a posthoc analysis, the TTRs of patients on OAC ...

food security has a dynamic notion during the time and may be affected by various domestic and global factors.nevertheless, iranian policy makers consider food security as same as self-sufficiency in agricultural food products, particularly wheat production. however, self-sufficiency can contribute to food security only if it is in coincidences with comparative advantage and sustainable resourc...

the study was conducted to determine optimum dietary inclusion level of glyricidia leaf protein concentrate (glpc), for growing rabbits. thirty five weaned rabbits of mixed sexes were weighed and randomly allocated to five dietary treatments which contained 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% glpc for diets 1 to 5, respectively in a completely randomized design. diet 1 served as the control diet.each treatmen...

In this paper we define a new labeling called skolem odd difference mean labeling and investigate skolem odd difference meanness of some standard graphs. Let G = (V,E) be a graph with p vertices and q edges. G is said be skolem odd difference mean if there exists a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2, 3, . . . , p + 3q − 3} satisfying f is 1−1 and the induced map f : E(G) → {1, 3, 5, . . . , 2q−1} de...
