the present article is an attempt to review the syrian short storyfrom the period between 1931 to 1947 and its development. syrian short stories in this period are affected by cultural, political and historical events.

Type 2 diabetes (2DM), obesity, and coronary artery disease (CAD) are frequently coexisted being as key components of metabolic syndrome. Whether there is shared genetic background underlying these diseases remained unclear. We performed a meta-analysis of 35 genome screens for 2DM, 36 for obesity or body mass index (BMI)-defined obesity, and 21 for CAD using genome search meta-analysis (GSMA),...

background and purpose: it is important to follow annually the probable changes in distribution pattern of dermatophytosis and its etiological agents in different communities. in this study, we determined the prevalence of dermatophytosis and its causative agents in damascus, syria, between 2008 and 2016. materials and methods: a total of 4080 outpatients who visited the dermatological clinics ...

The computer program WPACKING was validated using bin data for three different bin conditions: 1) a smooth-walled bin filled with wheat, 2) a corrugated-walled bin filled with wheat, and 3) a corrugated-walled bin filled with corn. WPACKING is a computer program which utilizes the differential form of Janssen’s equation to predict the pressures and amount of material stored in a bin. The differ...

We study a variety of NP-hard bin packing problems under a divisibility constraint that generalizes the often encountered situation in which all item sizes are powers of 2. For ordinary one-dimensional bin packing, we show that First Fit Decreasing produces optimal packings under this restriction, and that if in addition the largest item size divides the bin capacity, then even the less powerfu...

Page-coloring and bin-hopping are two well-known page mapping schemes for reducing cache connicts. Previous work found bin-hopping to have 4% less cache miss rate than page-coloring on uniprocessor machines. Using execution-driven simulations, we nd that bin-hopping signiicantly outperforms simplistic page-coloring on CC-NUMA multipro-cessors. In certain cases, bin-hopping has 32% to 58% less e...
