otosclerosis is an otic capsule disorder that leads to progressive conductive and/or sensorineural hearing loss due to stapes footplate fixation and cochlear bone involvement. the disorder is bilateral in 70% of patients and it usually starts between the third and fifth decade. one of its characteristic clinical findings is schwartze sign which refers to a reddish discoloration over the promont...

Can arise from fast and slow responses of opposite sign: G(s) = 1 s + 1 − 2 s + 5 = 3 − s (s + 1)(s + 5) .

the present study is an attempt to analyze the characters in the novel blindness and its cinematic adapta- tion from intersemiotic viewpoint. to this end, the researchers provided a synthesized model, which is a combination of bernando (2012) and forster's (1927) classification of characters in order to analyze the two main characters from intersemiotic viewpoint. considering the differenc...

Let G = (V, E) be a graph with an initial sign s(v)e { _+ 1} for every vertex vs V. When a vertex v becomes active, it resets its sign to s'(v) which is the sign of the majority of its neighbors (s'(v) = 1 if there is a tie). G is in a stable state if s(v) = s'(v) for all v e V. We show that for every graph G = (V, E) and every initial signs, there is a sequence v~, v 2 ..... v, of vertices of ...

Let Q0 denote the rational numbers expanded to a meadow by totalizing inversion such that 0 = 0. Q0 can be expanded by a total sign function s that extracts the sign of a rational number. In this paper we discuss an extension Q0(s, √ ) of the signed rationals in which every number has a unique square root.

The intricate system of serum complement proteins provides resistance to infection. A pivotal step in the complement pathway is the assembly of a C3 convertase, which digests the C3 complement component to form microbial binding C3 fragments recognized by leukocytes. The spleen and C3 provide resistance against blood-borne S. pneumoniae infection. To better understand the mechanisms involved, w...
