The three large icy satellites of the Jupiter system, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto have different geophysical and geological characteristics but in common the possible presence of an internal ocean. The confirmation of the existence of deep aqueous reservoirs and their physical characterization are critical actions to find out if there are habitable environments in these satellites. A comparat...

Background: Mobile phone is one of the most important necessary tools in today’s life which can threaten people’s health in some conditions. The present study was carried out to compare the effect of educational intervention by short message and pamphlet on the behavior of steel factory staff in Ardakan, Yazd province, Iran.Materials and Methods: The present study was experimentally carried out...

Potato breeding in Bangladesh is very challenging because it grown the short winter season, and flowering does not occur naturally, explaining why artificial lighting extra care are needed. In addition, scheme mainly focused on improving potato yield, followed by tuber quality. The goal of this study was to choose male parents, as well effect environment, fruit (berry) setting estimate combinin...

We construct a total Boolean function f satisfying R(f) = Ω̃(Q(f)), refuting the long-standing conjecture that R(f) = O(Q(f)) for all total Boolean functions. Assuming a conjecture of Aaronson and Ambainis about optimal quantum speedups for partial functions, we improve this to R(f) = Ω̃(Q(f)). Our construction is motivated by the Göös-Pitassi-Watson function but does not use it.

BACKGROUND This investigation compares the results of contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with standard balloon angioplasty among patients with multivessel coronary disease. Patients having balloon angioplasty in the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation (BARI) and those within the Dynamic Registry meeting BARI eligibility criteria were studied. METHODS AND RESU...

In this paper two different rateless transmissionschemes are developed. In the proposed scheme, relay node candecode and forward the message to the destination if they areable to decode it, or amplify and forward the message to thedestination. Based on the analysis and simulation resultsprovided in this paper, the proposed method has bettertransmission time than the scheme which only the relay ...

The inner moons of Jupiter and Saturn migrate outwards due to tidal energy dissipation within the planets, the details of which remain poorly understood. We demonstrate that resonance locking between moons and internal oscillation modes of the planet can produce rapid tidal migration. Resonance locking arises due to the internal structural evolution of the planet and typically produces an outwa...
