Tropical cyclones are an example of a multihazard event with impacts that can highly vary depending on landfall location, wind speed, storm surge, and inland flooding from precipitation. These storms are typically categorized by their wind speed and pressure, while evacuation orders are typically given based on storm surge. The general public relies on these single hazard assessment parameters ...

this paper studies the dynamic behavior of price elasticity and its effects on the overall profit. although price elasticity has a significant effect on sales, its dynamics have not been examined so far in pricing models. in this paper, a simple pricing model is suggested in which, price elasticity is considered dynamic. the suggested pricing model is concerned with a monopolist that its object...

The devastating impact by Hurricane Sandy (2012) again showed New York City (NYC) is one of the most vulnerable cities to coastal flooding around the globe. The low-lying areas in NYC can be flooded by nor'easter storms and North Atlantic hurricanes. The few studies that have estimated potential flood damage for NYC base their damage estimates on only a single, or a few, possible flood events. ...

This study was undertaken to estimate the genetic parameters for some reproduction traits in Sistani beef cattle. The data set consisted of 1489 records of number of insemination, calving, and insemination dates in different calving was used. Reproduction traits including calving interval (CI), gestation length (GL), days open (DO), calving to first service (CTFS), first service to conception (...

In multicellular organisms, proteins of the extracellular matrix (ECM) play structural and functional roles in essentially all organs, so understanding ECM protein organization in health and disease remains an important goal. Here, we used sub-diffraction resolution stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) to resolve the in situ molecular organization of proteins within the kidney g...

by the advent and development of information and communication technology (ict), the micro and macro economic variables are changed. in other words, the exclusive characteristics of ict can alter the job framework in a society. this fact will be done in our country, too. because of the importance of the employment issue in iran, a research in about of effect of ict on this variable in iran is s...

Urban flooding is a primary concern in all developed areas. Understanding what factors contribute to the magnitude and frequency of flooding is of primary importance when designing an engineering system to mitigate flooding. To understand the effect of impervious area versus the role of the storm drainage system in urban flooding, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydr...

The gasdermin family (GSDMs) contains a group of uncharacterized proteins that form membrane pores and serve as major substrate for inflammatory caspases the execution pyroptosis, which is recognized novel type programmed cell death [1]. Gasdermin (GSDM) consists A (GSDMA), B (GSDMB), C GSDMC), D (GSDMD), E(GSDME) Pejvakin (PJVK). With exception PJVK, all GSDMs consist two conserved domains: C-...
