Computer manufacturers have offered various power saving functions to reduce the power consumption of their products. Yet, this function is not sufficiently used because it reduces user convenience in computer usage. Literature on this topic is fragmented: there are no categories in the literature to characterize this power management for desktop (PMD. To address this gap, this paper provides a...

Sample size is a critical parameter for clinical studies. However, to many biomedical and psychosocial investigators, power and sample size analysis seems like a magic trick of statisticians. In this paper, we continue to discuss power and sample size calculations by focusing on binary outcomes. We again emphasize the importance of close interactions between investigators and biostatisticians i...

the present article is an attempt to study theoretical aspects of justice in the precept of the holy prophet of islam, by focusing on practical and objective results. in the first place, the necessity and significance of political justice has been explained in three parts. in the next step, the nature, levels and foundation of justice in the viewpoint of the holy prophet are discussed. for purp...

A novel approach to molecular separations is investigated using a technique termed droplet-based isoelectric focusing. Drops are manipulated discretely on a superhydrophobic surface, subjected to low voltages for isoelectric focusing, and split-resulting in a preparative separation. A universal indicator dye demonstrates the generation of stable, reversible pH gradients (3-10) in ampholyte buff...

We determine the threshold power for self-focusing collapse both in a bulk medium and in a hollow-core waveguide for various spatial profiles. We find that the threshold power for collapse in the waveguide is always equal to the lower-bound prediction for a bulk medium.

The technique previously applied to serum can, with minor modifications, be applied to cerebrospinal fluid. Good protein patterns have been obtained and similarities as well as differences have been demonstrated between cerebrospinal fluid and serum. The patterns obtained should prove useful in neurological diagnosis.

In order to examine the diversity of antibody light chains, we have developed an analytic isoelectric focusing procedure which permits the routine analysis of L chains from antibodies raised in individual mice. We have used this technique to demonstrate that the light chains of IgM and IgG anti-group A streptococcal antibodies raised in SWR mice are probably shared. Interestingly, numerous ligh...
