Background: Vascular Access (VA) is an important aspect for blood circulatory in Hemodialysis (HD). Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) is a suitable procedure to gain VA. Maturation of the AVF is a status of AVF, which can be cannulated for HD. This study aimed to discover the parameters that effectively reduce the duration between VA and start of HD, which symbolizes the maturation time (MT). &nbs...

In ancient Roman religion and mythology, Janus is the god of beginnings and transitions. He is depicted as having 2 faces on his head, facing opposite directions: one face looks eastward and the other westward, looking simultaneously into the future and the past. He also symbolizes change and transitions such as the progression of one condition to another, of one vision to another (Fig. 1) (1,2).

In this paper we view Pd,NP as the problem which symbolizes the attempt to understand what is and is not feasibly computable. The paper shortly reviews the history of the developments from Göde1's 1956 letter asking for the computational complexity of finding proofs of theorems, through computational complexity, the exploration of complete problems for NP and PSPACE, through the results of stru...

The cover of the NASA 1984 report "Probing the Depth of a Star: The Study of Solar Oscillations from Space" featured Hirschhorn's the Pomodoro Sphere. That report led to the helioseismic study of the global Sun. Pomodoro's Cube at Stanford symbolizes HMI data cubes for investigation of localized regions in the Sun.

ferdowsi’s shāhnāma has a monotheistic context and its narrative deep structure has been demythologized throughout history at religious, ritual and mythic levels. however, an analytical approach can spot traces of the ancient beliefs reflected in the symbolic implications of the narratives as well as the language and imagery of the shāhnāma. the first line in the preface of the shāhnāma, “in th...

similarity between the stimuli used in the two experiments. In the IAC experiment, the dimension of change (Y axis) is interaural difference. Correlated noise is hypothesized (Durlach 1963) to be represented as a constant ‘zero’ value, whereas uncorrelated noise is represented as a randomly fluctuating value. The size of the black segments symbolizes the temporal resolution of binaural processi...
