Today, Cellular Manufacturing Systems (CMS) have been introduced as a mixture of work-shop manufacturing and line-production systems for keeping efficiency and flexibility synchronously. One of the difficult steps of designing CMS is the Cell Formation (CF) problem in which parts with similar processes are made in one cell. Solving a dynamic integer model of CF with three sub-objective function...

Major depression is known to be associated with cardiovascular abnormalities, and oxidative stress has been suggested to play a role. We tested the hypothesis that antidepressant treatment reduces oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunctions in the chronic mild stress (CMS) model of depression in rats. Rats with >30% reduction in sucrose intake after 4 wk of CMS were defined in the study as CM...

PURPOSE Use of concomitant medicines (CMs) is a common practice in people with epilepsy, as comorbidity in this group is frequent. Comedication, especially if it is self-administered, may pose significant hazards due to potential interactions. Some attention has been given to use of CMs in older patients with epilepsy but the CM habits of younger patients are much less known. The purpose of thi...

We have sequenced five distinct mitochondrial genomes in maize: two fertile cytotypes (NA and the previously reported NB) and three cytoplasmic-male-sterile cytotypes (CMS-C, CMS-S, and CMS-T). Their genome sizes range from 535,825 bp in CMS-T to 739,719 bp in CMS-C. Large duplications (0.5-120 kb) account for most of the size increases. Plastid DNA accounts for 2.3-4.6% of each mitochondrial g...

Objectives. To explore in a cohort of Queensland (Qld) GPs' their attitudes to; knowledge about; and practice behaviour regarding complementary medicines (CMs), and to identify their perceptions of need for information resources on CMs. Design. A faxed self-administered survey to a random sample of 800 GPs in Qld. Participants. 463 completed surveys were returned, representing a 58% response ra...

In mechanical and structural systems, resonance may cause large strains and stresses which can lead to the failure of the system. Since it is often not possible to change the frequency content of the external load excitation, the phenomenon can only be avoided by updating the design of the structure. In this paper, a design optimization strategy based on the integration of the Component Mode Sy...

Dopamine -hydroxylase (DBH) which catalyzes conversion of dopamine into noradrenaline, may be a good blood marker of unipolar depression. Therefore, we studied the effect of classic antidepressant drug imipramine (10 mg/kg ip) on activity of this enzyme in plasma of rats subjected to chronic mild stress (CMS), the model of anhedonia. CMS induced reductions in DBH activity by the second day and ...

Dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) which catalyzes conversion of dopamine into noradrenaline, may be a good blood marker of unipolar depression. Therefore, we studied the effect of classic antidepressant drug imipramine (10 mg/kg ip) on activity of this enzyme in plasma of rats subjected to chronic mild stress (CMS), the model of anhedonia. CMS induced reductions in DBH activity by the second day ...

BACKGROUND The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) and the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) track primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performance in the form of door-to-balloon time. For quality assessment, exceptions are made for patients with "unavoidable delays" in both registries, yet it remains unclear how consistently such patients are identified. M...

The performance of all subsystems of the CMS muon detector is studied by using 7 TeV pp collision data from the LHC in 2010. This box is only visible in draft mode. Please make sure the values below make sense. PDFAuthor: CMS Muon Detector group PDFTitle: Performance of the CMS muon detector with 7 TeV pp collisions at LHC PDFSubject: CMS muon detector PDF
