The traditional distinction between primary (observation independent) and secondary (observation dependent) qualities is not based on a difference that can be sustained in the full light of contemporary scientific understanding. An alternative division of physical and chemical properties is proposed. Like the traditional division of qualities, the alternative system has two main categories. Pro...

In this, paper we present a probabilistic approach to analysis and prediction of protein structure. We argue that this approach provides a flexible and convenient mechanism to perform general scientific data analysis in molecular biology. We apply our approach to an important problem in molecular biology-predicting the secondary structure of proteins-and obtain experimental results comparable t...

Rehabilitation of persons with catastrophic illnesses or injuries is a complex, labor-intensive interaction between patients and caregivers. Experiences of overwhelming loss and suffering evoke strong emotions that shape the behavior of both patients and staff during the rehabilitation process. In response to each patient's unique experience, compassion, caring, and other humanistic qualities o...

esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is a rather common cancer in northern iran. incidence of adenocarcinoma of esophagus has an increasing trend in iran. co-existence of both cancers in one patient is very rare. we report a middle age woman from northern iran with a typical presentation of esophageal cancer, who was found to have a dual esophageal cancer. the disease was found in the advanced st...

Academic research is offers a fascinating opportunity to shape the technology of the future. My own research has focused non-photorealistic rendering (NPR). Whereas traditional rendering attempts to photorealistically simulate the world around us, NPR includes many diverse topics such as simulating traditional artistic media for both rendering and user interaction and exploring alternative meth...

The cylindrical Integral Equation -- Generalized Sheet Transition Condition (IE-GSTC) is validated by applying it to physical metasurfaces, i.e. metasurfaces defined material properties and dimensions rather than susceptibility tensor components. previously reported IE-GSTC, which was formulated for zero thickness GSTC discontinuities, extended handle the finite of metasurfaces. A simple analyt...

The study investigated the potential for facial electromyography (EMG) to be used as a clinical tool for measuring the responses of children to pleasant and unpleasant smell and taste stimuli. Responses in the zygomaticus major and levator labii muscles to 4 odorants and 4 tastants were recorded from 34 children aged 6-9 years. The results indicated that EMG activities in the 2 muscles discrimi...

Abstract Background Enterococcus faecalis is the third most common cause of infective endocarditis (IE) and has been associated with a higher risk relapse death. Within enterococcus species, E. faecium second frequent IE. As IE from or likely have different presentations outcomes, research needed for individualised optimised clinical management. Purpose This study aims to characterise baseline ...
