background: defects in endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis are common occurrences in different diseases, such as diabetes, in which the function of endoplasmic reticulum is disrupted. it is now well established that ion channels of endoplasmic reticulum membrane have a critical role in endoplasmic reticulum luminal homeostasis. our previous studies showed the presence of an atp-sensitive cationic...

Abstract For its efficient application of low-grade energy, the circulating wheel dehumidification air conditioning system has received a lot attention and research in response to shared challenges environmental protection, energy conservation, low carbon. Desiccant systems can recycle waste heat as desiccant regeneration source improve quality, which is expected achieve consumption high-effici...

in wireless channel the noise has a zero mean. this channel property can be used in the enhancement of the noise performance in the digital receivers by oversampling the received signal and calculating the decision variable based on the time average of more than one sample of the received signal. the averaging process will reduce the effect of the noise in the decision variable that will approa...

This study seeks to examine how a company can select the best intermediary for its Marketing channels with minimum of criteria and time. A theoretical framework is proposed based on the most important tasks of intermediary and the criteria to measure them. There are four basic tasks and thirty criteria in three independent levels. Subsequently, an exploratory case study in Iranian Food industry...

In this study we examined the effect on subsequent snack intake of having participants document their lunch menus. In Experiment 1, we asked all participants to have lunch as usual. However, some were instructed to document their lunch menus before eating. These participants demonstrated lower snack intake than control condition participants who had not documented their lunch menus. In Experime...

I read with great interest the paper by Jungraithmayr and colleagues entitled ‘Indications and results of completion pneumonectomy’ [1] and I congratulate them on their results. In a previous paper, my colleagues and I reported our experience with 47 patients who underwent completion pneumonectomy (CP) [2], including patients who underwent CP for early and late complications after a first resec...

The minimal interval completion problem consists in adding edges to an arbitrary graph so that the resulting graph is an interval graph; the objective is to add an inclusion minimal set of edges, which means that no proper subset of the added edges can result in an interval graph when added to the original graph. We give an O(n2)-time algorithm to obtain a minimal interval completion of an arbi...

We examined the relation between the emergence of visual selection mechanisms and object perception in infancy. Twenty-two 3-month-old infants participated in both a perceptual completion and a visual search task. In the perceptual completion task, infants were habituated to a partly occluded moving rod and subsequently viewed unoccluded broken and complete rod test stimuli. We presented the sa...

Although research on improving child literacy is converging, no such body of research exists for adult literacy. Yet the need is no less significant. This study extends the knowledge garnered with younger populations by determining the reading comprehension strategies most important to adults' success on adult literacy outcome measures and aligning them with previously researched interventions....
