and study its approximation in the sense of Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (a BGKlike approximation for short). In particular, we aim to describe the conservation law (1.1) as the hydrodynamic limit of the stochastic BGK model, as the microscopic scale ε goes to 0. The literature devoted to the deterministic counterpart, i.e. corresponding to the situation Φ = 0, is quite extensive (see [1], [11], [15],...

Objectives: The present study examined the effect of home-based handling training of mothers on the improvement of gross motor function of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Methods: In this randomized control trial, 42 children with CP (5-12 years old) were randomly assigned into the intervention and control groups. Data were collected using the Gross Motor Function Classification System and ...

The abuse of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) has been increasing dramatically worldwide since late 2000s. By the end of 2015, more than 560 NPS had been reported to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction. Although the most popular compounds are synthetic cannabinoids and psychostimulatory derivatives of cathinone (so-called β-keto-amphetamines), novel synthetic opioids ...

We present recent QCD results in ν−N scattering at the Fermilab CCFR/NuTeV experiments. We present the latest Next-to-Next-Leading order strong coupling constant, αs, extracted from Gross-Llewellyn-Smith sum rule. The value of αs from this measurement, at the mass of Z boson, is α s (M 2 Z ) = 0.114 −0.012 . We also present a preliminary result of the CCFR F2 at large-x. This measurement of F2 ...

The porcine superflexor tendon (SFT) was identified as having appropriate structure and properties for development of a decellularized device for use in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. SFTs were decellularized using a combination of freeze-thaw and washes in hypotonic buffer and 0.1% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulfate in hypotonic buffer plus proteinase inhibitors, followed by nuclease tre...

COPD is a major cause of chronic morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Although tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) has a critical role in the development of COPD, the role of different TNF receptors (TNFRs) in pulmonary emphysema has not been resolved. We aimed to clarify the role of TNFRs in the development of pulmonary emphysema. TNF-α transgenic mice, a murine model of COPD in which the...

Industry clusters have been the focus of scholars and governments since the second half of the 20th century. During a cluster’s growing process, the government plays an important role. In order to show the growing law of the clusters and how government did for co-agglomeration, we proposed two kinds of models: Logistic model and BA model with parameter α to describe the single and mass clusters...

We study the energy spectrum of bottomonium in perturbative QCD, taking α s (M Z) = 0.1181 ± 0.0020 as input and fixing m MS b (m MS b) on the Υ(1S) mass. Contrary to wide beliefs, perturbative QCD reproduces reasonably well the gross structure of the spectrum as long as the coupling constant remains smaller than one. We perform a detailed analysis and discuss the size of non-perturbative effec...
