Resolving the phylogenetic relationships among birds is a classical problem in systematics, and this is particularly so when it comes to understanding the relationships among Neoaves. Previous phylogenetic inference of birds has been limited to mitochondrial genomes or a few nuclear genes. Here, we apply deep brain transcriptome sequencing of nine bird species (several passerines, hummingbirds,...

HAMID HASSANPOUR School of Information Technology and Computer Engineering, Shahrood University of Technology. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: In this paper, a new method is presented for noise reduction in signal using partial differential equations. In this approach, the signal is initially represented as a matrix. Then using singu...

the main aim of this research is studying post-phenomenology. to achieve this aim comparative analysis and descriptive analysis method is used. first, concept of post-phenomenology and its differences and similarities with phenomenology have been raised. then, application of this approach in the area of educational technology has been discussed. the results indicate that post-phenomenology like...

We conducted two design experiments aimed at engaging sixth graders (11 years old) in statistical reasoning about center and variation. We examine in particular students’ informal notion of a “modal clump.” Using Peirce’s concept of diagrammatic reasoning, we analyze the interplay of 1) making plots with TinkerPlots – a computer data analysis tool, 2) experimenting with those plots, and 3) deve...

BACKGROUND It has been suggested that differences in health technology assessment (HTA) processes among countries, particularly within Europe, have led to inequity in patient access to new medicines. OBJECTIVES To provide an up-to-date snapshot analysis of the present status of HTA and reimbursement systems in select European countries, and to investigate the implications of these processes, ...
