The purpose of this study was to examine the application of the coordinated cis-[Cr(C2O4)(pm)(OH)2]+ cation where pm denotes pyridoxamine, as a specific sensing ion for the detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The proposed method for H2O2 detection includes two key steps. The first step is based on the nonenzymatic decarboxylation of pyruvate upon reaction with H2O2, while the second step is ...

The successful deployment of dynamic spectrum access requires cognitive radio (CR) to more accurately find the unoccupied portion of the spectrum. An accurate spectrum sensing technique can reduce the probability of false alarms and misdetection. Cooperative spectrum sensing is usually employed to achieve accuracy and improve reliability, but at the cost of cooperation overhead among CR users. ...

OBJECTIVE The authors evaluated the efficacy of a new cognitive rehabilitation program on memory and functional performance of mildly impaired Alzheimer disease (AD) patients receiving a cholinesterase inhibitor. METHODS Twenty-five participants in the Cognitive Rehabilitation (CR) condition participated in two 45-minute sessions twice per week for 24 total sessions. CR training included face...

We consider the problem of projectively embedding strictly pseudoconcave surfaces, X− containing a positive divisor, Z and affinely embedding its 3dimensional, strictly pseudoconvex boundary, M = −bX−. We show that embeddability ofM in affine space is equivalent to the embeddability ofX− or of appropriate neighborhoods of Z inside X− in projective space. Under the cohomological hypotheses: H2 c...

The purpose of the present note is in part to extend results of Sidák [3] to cases where the measure is not finite, perhaps not even <r-finite. In particular, the conditional expectation of a random variable in Lx is obtained without the use of the Radon-Nikodym Theorem, which, indeed, does not apply with the required generality. It was found possible to extend at the same time results of [l] s...

In this note we define a global, R-valued invariant of a compact, strictly pseudoconvex 3-dimensional CR-manifold M whose holomorphic tangent bundle is trivial. The invariant arises as the evaluation of a deRham cohomology class on the fundamental class of the manifold. To construct the relevant form, we start with the CR structure bundle Y over M (see [Ch-Mo], whose notation we follow). The fo...

BACKGROUND High-speed railway (HR, Electrified railway with service speed above 200 km/h.) noise and conventional railway (CR, Electrified railway with service speed under 200 km/h.) noise are different in both time and frequency domain. There is an urgent need to study the influence of HR noise and consequently, develop appropriate noise evaluation index and limits for the total railway noise ...

We study the minimality of an isometric immersion of a Riemannian manifold into a strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold M endowed with the Webster metric (associated to a fixed contact form on M), hence formulate a version of the CR Yamabe problem for CR manifolds-with-boundary. This is shown to be a nonlinear subelliptic problem of variational origin.

purpose : to determine the relationship between refractive errors and ocular components values in carpet weavers methods : refractive errors and ocular components values were investigated on carpet weavers at mashhad city in iran . after selection of samples, the individuals who had ophthalmic and systemic disease effective on the refractive errors were excluded from the study. refractive error...
