The quantitative changes of the high mobility group (HMG) nonhistone chromosomal proteins in nondividing, differentiated peritoneal exudate neutrophils were identified by their solubility, electrophoretic mobility on both SDS and acetic acid gels, densitometric traces and elution profile on CM-sephadex. The results indicated that in neutrophils, HMGl undergoes a considerable reduction (80%...

A randomized controlled clinical trial in 196 obese subjects was performed to examine the effectiveness of body acupuncture on body weight loss, lipid profile and immunogenic and inflammatory markers. Subjects received authentic (cases) or sham (controls) acupuncture for 6 weeks in combination with a low-calorie diet. In the following 6 weeks, they received the low-calorie diet alone. Subjects ...

We present a case of failure of acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) reduction that was performed with low-profile, double-metallic button technique (Tightrope; Arthrex Inc). The patient presented with coracoid fracture and loss of reduction within eight weeks of surgery.

optimal capacitor placement, considering power system loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, line reactive power decrease and power factor correction, is of particular importance in power system planning and control. the distribution system operator calculates the optimal place, number and capacity of capacitors based on two major purposes: active power loss reduction and return on invest...

In this paper the eccentric forward extrusion of sections has been simulated and analyzed using FEM Abaqus-explicit. The results have been compared to those obtained from upper bound theorem and experimental works. Close agreements was observed between the FEM and experimental work and as compared with the upper bound data more realistic and better predictions were made by the authors’ method. ...

In this paper, we describe the design of a profile generator toolkit, which aims to automatically create realistic user profiles for a mobile personalized portal service. These profiles simulate actual user behavior and are utilized to experiment with a personalized crawling system, called eRACE. With the help of this tool, we will assess the performance and scalability of the eRACE system by c...

This paper will present a mission profile reduction technique to reduce the simulation time needed simulate yearly behaviour of PV system. Due strong climate dependency weather and thereby profile, simplification method is likewise strongly dependant. The be applied different profiles from arid places around world (Arizona, Colorado, Spain, Sacramento), where speed-up tested along with error in...
