background: micropatterning is becoming a powerful tool for studying cells in vitro. this method not only uses very small amount of material but also mimic the microenvironment structure present in living tissues better than flask culturing techniques. in previous studies using micropatterning of extracellular matrix proteins on glass surfaces, the rate of protein detachment from the surface wa...

We describe the use of discrete event simulation in modeling the curbside vehicular traffic at airports. The dynamic nature of vehicular traffic poses a challenge in developing a discrete event simulation model to represent roadway operations. We present our simulation methodology in modeling the new Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and address the use of simulation in the design as well ...

drying is one of the methods of food preservation with long-term. these processes increase the shelf life and ability for using them, because of taking water. the study had two treatments that include sphyraena jello and sphyraena forsteri. the first and second parts were put in the open air and in a plastic sheets respectively, so that the ground was 60 cm distance and allow to dry. fish were ...

This paper provides a framework for understanding competition and industry structure in the context of Fiber to the Home (FTTH). We present engineering cost models, which indicate that FTTH is a decreasing cost industry, thereby making facilities based competition an unlikely outcome. Non-facilities based competition (or service level competition) in FTTH can happen in data-link layer (or trans...
