Th rough their multiple roles in tourism, residents of destination communities interact with tourists at destinations. Th e consequences of these host-guest interactions are bi-directional. Much research has been done on impacts of host-guest interactions on the local community. On the other hand, few studies have evaluated how tourists' on-site behaviour and experiences are aff ected by such i...

In this paper we consider the problem of scheduling n jobs on a single machine, where the jobs are processed in batches and the processing time of each job is a step function depending on its waiting time, which is the time between the start of the processing of the batch to which the job belongs and the start of the processing of the job. For job i, if its waiting time is less than a given thr...

where is the problem? health scientists are constantly trying to support people by diagnosing, managing the diseases, and improving health in all possible dimensions. attention has been drawn to all aspects of health including biological, psychological, social and spiritual. the problem may lay in behavior, clinical issues, organ cites, genome and epigenome. thus it falls on us, the medical soc...

The researchers reviewed 1,523 consecutive breast MRI exams performed from Jan. 1, 2003, to June 30, 2005, to identify all lesions initially detected on MRI and assessed as BI-RADS 4 or 5 for which the patient underwent subsequent imaging-guided needle or excisional biopsy. They recorded BI-RADS lesion features for each case and the risk of malignancy was assessed using generalized estimating e...

Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) contributes to HDL-mediated cellular cholesterol efflux and is a phagocytosis-inducing phospholipid phosphatidylserine receptor in rat Sertoli cells, whereas the spliced variant of the SR-B gene, SR-BII, is implicated in the efflux of free cholesterol in macrophages. This study aimed to assess whether spontaneous autoimmune orchitis (AIO), which causes ...

BiFeO3 (BFO), Bi0.86Sm0.07Eu0.07FeO3 (BSEFO), and Bi0.86Sm0.07Cd0.07FeO3 (BSCFO) nano powders were prepared by the sol-gel combustion method and the catalytic performances were evaluated in the acetylation reaction of benzyl alcohol. The physical chemical properties of the catalysts were character...

Introduction: Theranostic nanoparticles, which integrate both diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities into one nanoagent, has great promise to ablate more effective tumoral tissue by optimizing and real-time monitoring treatment interventions, as well as monitoring therapeutic response to corresponding effect. Multifunctional theranostic nanoagent based on graphene quantum dots...
