Sodium channels are voltage-gated sodium-selective ion present in the membrane of most excitable cells. comprise one pore-forming α subunit, which may be associated with either or two β subunits [179]. α-Subunits consist four homologous domains (I-IV), each containing six transmembrane segments (S1-S6) and a loop. The positively charged fourth segment (S4) acts as voltage sensor is involved cha...

Recently, Tuceryan and Navab introduced a method for calibrating an optical see-through system based on the alignment of a set of 2D markers on the display with a single point in the scene while not restricting the user’s head movements (the single point active alignment method or SPAAM in short) [33]. This method is applicable with any tracking system, provided that it gives the pose of the se...

Methods: The methodology used, initially proposed for ancient masonry churches, extended applied to ten historic mosques in Kermanshah city. method could be considered as preliminary approach of structures, refers LV0 method, since the used requires simple qualitative information. It involv...

Today, the construction industry is facing intense competition and success in this competition depends on several factors. Project managers try to minimize project time and cost, carbon dioxide emission and at the same time maximizing the quality of project and its plan robustness. In this paper, study construction project scheduling considering a discrete trade-off between time, cost, quality,...

selecting an effective project plan is a significant area in the project management. the present paper introduces a technique to identify the project plan efficient frontier for assessing the alternative project plans and selecting the best plan. the efficient frontier includes two criteria: the project cost and the project time. besides, the paper presents a scheme to incorporate directed acyc...
