the ever increasing rate of power consumption has led to an increase in public exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields (elf-mfs) and brought severe concerns about their health effects. considering previous studies and the facts about potential health effects of these fields, the present study aimed to evaluate the elf-mf flux densities from power distribution lines near hospitals i...

background: we aimed here to investigate the association between alleles and genotypes of apoe and age-related macular degeneration (amd) development. materials and methods: after ophthalmological examination, 120 patients with confirmed amd and 120 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. the polymorphic segment of apoe gene was pcr-amplified and sequenced to determine the frequency distri...

The fluctuating gravitational field in inhomogeneous and clustered self-gravitating systems. Abstract. In this paper I extend the results of Ahmad & Cohen (1973), regarding the study of the probability distribution of the stochastic force in homogeneous gravitational systems, to inhomogeneous gravitational ones. To this aim, I study the stochastic force distribution using N-body realizations of...

We quantify a recent theorem of Wiles on class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields by proving an estimate for the number of negative fundamental discriminants down to −X whose class numbers are indivisible by a given prime and whose imaginary quadratic fields satisfy any given set of local conditions. This estimate matches the best results in the direction of the Cohen–Lenstra heuristics for ...

The Maximum Entropy probability density function associated with the testable information on the range and the first and second order moments of the random quantity of interest is derived. The validity of such approach is experimentally demonstrated through comparison between the proposed maximum entropy distribution and the Ushaped distribution. The underlying physical assumptions which must b...

Abstract. In this paper we consider some four-parametric, so-called Generalized Pareto-like Frequency Distribution, which have been constructed using stochastic Birth-Death Process in order to model phenomena arising in Bioinformatics (Astola and Danielian, 2007). As examples, two ”real data” sets on the number of proteins and number of residues for analyzing such distribution are given. The co...

background il28b polymorphism is recognized as one of the most prominent predictors of hepatitis c spontaneous and treatment-induced clearance. interestingly, the favorable genotypes of il28b are found to be more frequent in asian ethnicity than caucasian and african populations, respectively. a few studies reported that there is a mysterious association between the il28b polymorphism and the h...
