Background/Aim: To investigate the geographic occurrence of mucosa-invading Fusobacteria in acute appendicitis. Patients and Methods: Carnoyand formalin-fixated appendices from Germany, Russia, and China were comparatively investigated. Bacteria were detected using fluorescent in situ hybridization. Cecal biopsies from patients with inflammatory bowel disease and other conditions were used as d...

Cover inequalities are a special kind of linear inequalities thatare satisfied by the feasible solutions to knapsack problems. Although ini-tially defined in the context of knapsack problems, cover inequalities andtheir variants can be used as cutting planes for a variety of integer program-ming and combinatorial optimisation problems. We review the theory ofthese inequaliti...

I am very proud and excited for the future of the Asian Oncology Nursing Society (AONS). The vision over eight years ago of developing an Asian organization has clearly become a reality. I am very grateful to have received a plaque of appreciation from AONS President, Myungsun Yi along with my colleagues Kazuko Onishi from Japan and Pongpak Pittayapan from Thailand. However, I would be remiss i...

Motivated by applications in Markov estimation and distributed computing, we deene the blanket time of an undirected graph G to be the expected time for a random walk to hit every vertex of G within a constant factor of the number of times predicted by the stationary distribution. Thus the blanket time is, essentially, the number of steps required of a random walk in order that the observed dis...

studies on vegetation changes of rangelands under grazed and non-grazedconditions are of great importance in the range management planning programs. to determinethe change process of vegetation, this study was performed in inche shorezar site of golestanprovince for nine years (1997-2005). the vegetation parameters were measured every year inseveral fixed plots inside and adjacent of exclosures...

The research process for new drug is complicated, time-consuming, and costly. Thousands of chemical compounds must be made and tested in an effort to find one that can achieve a desirable result. It may take approximately ten years to study and test a new drug before it can be approved for the general public. However, in today's pharmaceutical industry drug delivery has become keys in drug prod...
