BACKGROUND Peaceful protests and strikes are a basic human right as stated in the United Nations' universal declaration on human rights. But for doctors, their proximity to life and death and the social contract between a doctor and a patient are stated as the reasons why doctors are valued more than the ordinary beings. In Pakistan, strikes by doctors were carried out to protest against lack o...

The Black-Scholes model assumes that the volatility is constant across strikes and maturity dates. However as we know, in the world of options, this is a very unrealistic assumption. Option prices for different maturities change drastically, and option prices for different strikes also experience significant variations. In this section we consider the numerical problem to compute the implied vo...

Abstract The causes of flashover on UHVDC transmission lines due to lightning strikes are analyzed. Then, after the introduction characteristics caused by strikes, types and discrimination method, calculation method performance, methods identification faults, preventive measures proposed.

We studied the defensive strike of one species of each of five recognized lineages within the genus Bothrops, namely, B. alternatus, B. jararaca, B. jararacussu, B. moojeni and B. pauloensis. The defensive strike of the studied species was in general similar to that of Crotalus viridis and C. atrox, but some important differences were observed. Bothrops alternatus and B. pauloensis struck prefe...

Modern mission critical digital systems often require some form of fault tolerance to achieve adequate functionality in their operating environments. In the presence of radiation, particle strikes can cause temporary signal errors in ICs. Particle strikes that directly affect memory are known as Single Event Upsets (SEUs), while strikes that affect combinational logic are called Single Event Tr...

Many nocturnal and crepuscular fish use vision to feed and function under low light levels. However, little is known about their ability to accommodate or their visual acuity under these light levels. We used Infrared Photoretinoscopy to track the refractive state of the eye during prey capture under low light in Apogon annularis, a nocturnal reef fish. Anatomical measurements of the eyes allow...

Autophagy-mediated major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I presentation can follow either the conventional MHC class I pathway or a recently described vacuolar pathway. In the vacuolar pathway, protein degradation is effected by lysosomal proteases, peptide exchange takes place with recirculating MHC complexes and the newly formed peptide-MHC complexes reach the cell surface by the endoc...

A novel strategy which works with improved performance in many factors. We have used Open CV, an picture handling tool kit for applying and examining our ideas. We present a new protection basic based on hard AI issues, namely, a novel family of visual protection password techniques built on top of Captcha technology, which we call Captcha as visual security passwords (CaRP). CaRP is both a Cap...

This paper is concerned with the relationship between organization of political hunger strikes, rational calculations and actions emotions. Drawing from theoretical formulations Norbert Elias, we examine how rational–emotional balances generated by different intertwined tiers social integration partly shaped strikes. Political strikes are interesting because they tend to involve based on consid...
