curls and curves of a shell interweave its various strain modes and link them together. this interactional behavior has yet frustrated all attempts for the construction of shell templates, which needs for an individual element test in traditional approaches. such a test fails to work for shell elements and must be reconstructed. in this paper, it is tried to study shell interactional behavior a...

the key of salvation; as we all know is faith. for this reason: 1) philosophers and theologians of any religion have tried to determine its essence and to explain its nature. 2) these debates have been very important in islam and christianity from the beginning. one of the issues that have close connection with concept as well as the formation of faith, is “act”. now the question that raises he...

Cardiologists and generalists have been reported to diverge in terms of their self-reported use of angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, but information on their actual use of ACE inhibitors has been lacking. In order to assess ACE inhibitor use in patients with heart failure in a teaching hospital and any diVerences between specialties we studied all patients in the Western Infirmary ...

consumer ethnocentrism as an important factor in consumers’ buying decisions of local or imported products has been the topic of so many researches. for this reason the present study by taking 230 students of university of isfahan as its statistical sample, first has tried to measure their ethnocentrism in consumption context, then by use of regression analysis the relation of consumer ethnocen...

Human convalescent whooping cough serum and whole blood injected intramuscularly have been tried and reported on favourably in whooping cough cases as a curative and prophylactic measure. Some workers claim good results from treatment with injection of maternal whole blood. The writer tried this latter method of treatment in a series of 76 cases, out of which 3 discontinued treatment and one di...

A lagrangian for gauge fields coupled to fermions with the Kac-Moody group as its gauge group yields, for the pure fermions sector, an ideal gas of Kac-Moody fermions. The canonical partition function for the Û(1) case is shown to have a maximum temperature kTM = |λ|/π, where λ is the coupling of the super charge operator G0 to the fermions. This result is similar to the case of strings but unl...

NITROUS oxide is a funny gas. It got off to a less than auspicious start when Horace Wells was humiliated by boos and jeers when he administered it for surgery the first time at Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, Massachusetts) on January 18, 1845, and his patient, having the mask removed too soon, cried out with pain. It is implicated in a litany of well-known problems even today: nausea ...

Metabolic studies of lipoproteins have yielded important insights into regulation of energy distribution as well as providing fundamental understanding of cardiovascular risk properties of different lipoproteins. Although many factors on the molecular level have the potential to impact metabolic regulation of lipids, metabolic studies provide valuable information from a comprehensive regulatory...
