background :many studies have reported the increase in strength of the untrained contralateral limb after unilateral training. the aim of this study was to compare the cross education effect in the young and elderly persons.   methods : in this quasi-experimental and pre-post study, 12 young people aged 28.25 ±3.11 years and 12 elderly persons (aged 73.08 ± 5.3 years) participated. the subjects...

Presentation of bacteria-derived CD8 T cell epitopes by dendritic cells (DC) requires either their direct infection or that DC acquire and cross-present Ags from other infected cells. We found that cross-presentation of Listeria monocytogenes-derived CD8 T cell epitopes was much stronger than direct Ag presentation by infected murine DC. Cross-presentation of Listeria-derived CD8 T cell epitope...

We have calculated inclusive one– and two–jet production in photon–photon collisions superimposing direct, single resolved and double resolved cross sections for center of mass energies of the LEP1, LEP2 and NLC range. The direct and single resolved cross sections are calculated up to next–to–leading order. The double resolved two–jet cross section is calculated only in LO with a k factor estim...

Total ionization cross sections of neutral carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms by electron impact are presented. In our theory we have included the possibilities that ~a! some target atoms used in an experiment were in metastable states close to the ground state, ~b! excitation-autoionization of 2s2p exited states may be substantial, and ~c! ions produced in experiments may be in excited, low-ly...

objective: estimation of genetic parameters for kleiber ratio (kr) and genetic trends for pre-weaning weights of arabi sheep has not been previously conducted.methods: data and pedigree information were collected at the khuzestan ramin agricultural and natural resources university, animal science research station, located in southwest iran, from 2001 to 2008. (co)variance components and corresp...

objective: type 2 diabetes is amongst the most common chronic illnesses in iran. its prevalence is increasing and it has significant economic importance. the aim of this study was to estimate direct therapeutic and non-therapeutic costs of type 2 diabetes patients referred to the diabetes research center of yazd in 2012. materials and methods: this cross-sectional study was carried out on 250 t...

UNLABELLED The laser polymerization capabilities of biocompatible and cross-linkable materials using direct laser writing are discussed. PURPOSE Cross-disciplinary highlight of synergy between medical applications and laser microfabrication.

Acknowledgments First and foremost I would like to thank Harald Ganzinger and Hans J urgen Ohlbach who provided me with the opportunity to conduct this research at the Max-Planck-Institute for Computer Science. Here I found a perfect environment that gave me all the freedom I wanted and every support I needed. Hans J urgen put me on the track of probabilistic reasoning in terminological logics....
