ce. Getting up to speed in a taxi (Fig. 1) is not unusual for many professionals. They are nomads even though their work is highly information intensive, requiring people to carry their work materials around with them. Creative work, central to many professions in aesthetic design and architecture, is a particular case in point. Close observation of the how, why and where of creative work can b...

Due to the increasingly stringent standards, it is important to assess whether the proposed emission reduction will result in ambient concentrations that meet the standards. The Software for Model Attainment Test-Community Edition (SMAT-CE) is developed for demonstrating attainment of air quality standards of O3 and PM2.5. SMAT-CE improves computational efficiency and provides a number of advan...

Ce texte a pour but de soumettre à la critique une partie des travaux méthodologiques réalisés dans le cadre du Projet d'Histoire sociale de la Population du Saguenay. Ces travaux ont consisté, en particulier, à mettre au point un procédé original de reconstitution automatique des familles et ils ont impliqué un certain nombre de choix techniques ou méthodologiques qui sont ici décrits. Il sera...

Therefore now, without even ever discussing the subject with the offi ce-bearers of IAOH till date, he has chosen to pose himself as “a martyr” for the cause in the international community or to appease Ban Asbestos lobby for the reasons only known to him. I am also surprised that a reputed journal like IJOEH is letting disgruntled professionals use it as a forum to achieve their personal agend...

Metallic glass (MG) is an important new category of materials, but very few rigorous laws are currently known for defining its "disordered" structure. Recently we found that under compression, the volume (V) of an MG changes precisely to the 2.5 power of its principal diffraction peak position (1/q1). In the present study, we find that this 2.5 power law holds even through the first-order polya...

currently there is little information regarding septic arthritis and osteomyelitis in iran. this retrospective study has been conducted to assess the clinical features and determine the pathogens responsible for septic arthritis and osteomyelitis in patients admitted to our hospital over a 10 year period between 1995 and 2005. a total of 145 cases of septic arthritis and osteomyelitis were stud...

Lactase-phlorizin hydrolase is exclusively expressed in the small intestine and is often used as a marker for the differentiation of enterocytes. The cis-element CE-LPH1 found in the lactase-phlorizin hydrolase promoter has previously been shown to bind an intestinal-specific nuclear factor. By electrophoretic mobility-shift assay it was shown that the factor Cdx-2 (a homoeodomain-protein relat...

A novel Mo-promoted Ce-Zr mixed oxide catalyst prepared by a homogeneous precipitation method was used for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO(x) with NH3. The optimal catalyst showed high NH3-SCR activity, SO2/H2O durability, and thermal stability under test conditions. The addition of Mo inhibited growth of the CeO2 particle size, improved the redox ability, and increased the amount...

OBJECTIVE To assess the adequacy of the Primary Care Assessment Tool-Child Edition (PCAT-CE) for evaluating the attainment of the key characteristics of primary care services for children and youth. DESIGN Community-based telephone survey. SETTING Specific political subdivision in Washington, DC. PARTICIPANTS Four hundred fifty parents/guardians of offspring 18 years of age or less. MEA...

A hierarchical SnO2@SnS2 core-shell nanostructure has been prepared by in situ surface sulfurization of hollow SnO2 sphere via a facile two-step solution-based method and used as a substitute for conventional Pt counter electrode (CE) for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) for the first time. The resulted semitransparent SnO2@SnS2 CEs demonstrate a high electrical conductivity and excellent cat...
