Introduction Counterfactual conditionals seem to be understood differently from factual conditionals. People may understand a factual conditional, e.g., ‘if Joe cut his finger it bled’ by initially envisaging just one true possibility, ‘Joe cut his finger and it bled’ (Johnson-Laird & Byrne, 1991; 2002). Counterfactual conditionals are different. People understand a counterfactual, e.g., ‘if Jo...

objective: electrophysiological studies have identified abnormal oscillatory activities in the cerebral cortex in schizophrenia and mood disorders. biological and pathophysiological evidence suggests specific deficits in serotonin (5-ht) receptor function in schizoaffective disorder (sa), a clinical syndrome with characteristics of both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. this study investigate...

The density profiles of dark matter haloes are commonly described by fitting functions such as the NFW or Einasto models, but these approximations break down in transition region where halos become dominated newly accreting matter. Here we present a simple, accurate new function that is inspired asymptotic shapes separate orbiting and infalling halo components. term truncated profile, $\rho_{\r...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to design a standard questionnaire facilitating the evaluation of the knowledge and attitude of medical students regarding radiation protection. Methods: At first, a 30-item questionnaire was prepared. The scale construction procedure was performed using content validity assessment. Considering objectives, some items were...

This paper introduces a cut-elimination procedure of the intuitionistic sequent calculus and shows that it is isomorphic to the proof reduction of the intuitionistic natural deduction with general elimination and explicit substitution. It also proves strong normalization and Church-Rosser property of the cut-elimination procedure by projecting the sequent calculus to the natural deduction with ...

C oilfield is a heavy oil field developed by horizontal wells and single sand body in Bohai oilfield. The edge bottom water of the reservoir active natural energy development mode adopted. comprehensive cut was 95.3%, which had entered stage high production. Some reservoirs were limited crude viscosity column height. Under condition existing well pattern, some reserves not produced or degree pr...

In helically-cut strips of dog cerebral, coronary and mesenteric arteries, contracted with prostaglandin (PG) F2 alpha or K+, the addition of verapamil caused a dose-related relaxation. Verapamil-induced relaxations were greater in cerebral than in the other arteries when contracted with PGF2 alpha, but did not significantly differ in the arteries contracted with K+. Similar results were obtain...

BACKGROUND: Nitrogen is a basic plant component, playing a decisive role in the intensification of plant production. Bio-fertilizers play a very significant role in improving soil fertility by fixing atmospheric nitrogen, both, in association with plant roots and without it, insoluble soil phosphates and produces plant growth substances in the soil. OBJECTIVES:</s...

We investigated the influence of the activation state of integrin alpha 5 beta 1 on its dependence on the PHSRN synergy site for binding to RGD in fibronectin. K562 and MV3 cells lacked alpha v beta 3 expression and adhered to fibronectin through alpha 5 beta 1. Mel57 cells adhered through alpha v beta 3 and alpha 5 beta 1. A recombinant fibronectin polypeptide, containing five type III repeats...
