We study all possible deformations of the Maxwell algebra. In D = d +1 6= 3 dimensions there is only one-parameter deformation. The deformed algebra is isomorphic to so(d + 1,1)⊕ so(d,1) or to so(d,2)⊕ so(d,1) depending on the signs of the deformation parameter. We construct in the dS(AdS) space a model of massive particle interacting with Abelian vector field via nonlocal Lorentz force. In D=2...

Background: Angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) is a Zinc metalloproteinase, converts Ang-I to Ang- II, a pro-inflammatory agent which may contribute to pathophysiology of some diseases like type 2 diabetes. Objective: To investigate the relationship between ACE I/D polymorphism and type 2 diabetes in 261 Iranian casecontrol pairs. Methods: 170 patients (85 type 2 diabetics with nephropathy a...

Stop and go traffic that leads to oscillate traffic flow frequently is observed on congestion flow. Unexpected reasons such as lane – changing maneuvers, lower speeds of leader vehicle and moving bottleneck cause stop and go traffic and amplifying delay and environment impacts. Stop and go traffic exactly can’t be modeled by traffic models, and also car following models based on kinematic flow ...

STUDY OBJECTIVES To compare the oxygen pulse curve (O(2)P-C) as measured during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) with left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) rest-exercise response as measured by multigated equilibrium (99m)Tc radionuclide cineangiography (MUGA) in patients with different degrees of ischemic heart disease (IHD). PATIENTS Forty-six patients (39 men and 7 women; m...

Various topological properties of D-branes in the type–IIA theory are captured by the topologically twisted B-model, treating D-branes as objects in the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on the compact part of the target space. The set of basic D-branes wrapped on the homology cycles of the compact space are taken to reside in the heart of t-structures of the derived category of cohe...

Aquifer hydraulic parameters play a critical role in investigating various groundwater hydrology problems (e.g., depletion and transport), the Theis formula for constant-rate pumping tests is commonly used to estimate them. However, rate field usually varies with time due some factors, making classical model unsuitable accurate parameter estimation. To address this issue, we developed novel dim...

We present multicolor Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC2 broadband observations of the Type Ic SN 1994I obtained ∼280 d after maximum light. We measure the brightness of the SN and, relying on the detailed spectroscopic database of SN 1994I, we transform the ground-based photometry obtained at early times to the HST photometric system, deriving light curves for the WFPC2 F439W , F555W , F675W ,...

Geometric matching in general is a di cult unsolved problem in computer vision. Fortunately, in many practical applications, some a priori knowledge exists which considerably simpli es the problem. In visual navigation, for example, the motion between successive positions is usually either small or approximately known, but a more precise registration is required for environment modeling. The al...
