abstract      background and objective: diabetes mellitus is the most common risk factor for coronary artery disease (cad). cholesteryl ester transfer protein (cetp) taqib polymorphism is associated with changes in lipid profile and may be a risk factor for cad in patients with diabetes. this study aimed to evaluate the association of cetp taqib polymorphism with cad in patients with type 2 dia...

abstract introduction: diabetes is one of the most common endocrine diseases spreading rapidly in the world. diabetes complications are classified into acute and chronic. non-enzymatic glycosylation of body proteins such as hemoglobin and albumin is the main cause of pathogenesis in chronic complications of diabetes. protein glycosylation is an oxidative reaction. antioxidants such as vitamin c...

background and objectives: increased consumption of fiber in the diet of diabetic patients is usually recommended for better diabetes control. trans-theoretical model of health behavior has had positive results in diabetes consultations on healthcare and adherence to healthy eating. the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the stages of change based on fiber consumption a...

Currently a new version of the distance education platform WeLearn [3] to be combined with an agent system ([1], also developed locally) for providing advanced services [2] is under development. In a previous stage of the project software was created to automatically derive keywords from documents, either from the different versions of metadata already contained (various Microsoft file formats,...

As our ability to store information increases, the mechanisms we employ to access that information become ever more important. In this paper, we present Archosum, a prototype of an organizational system that attempts to encapsulate the benefits of both hierarchical and keyword systems. By introducing abstract entities, Archosum provides a simple interface with which users can build and maintain...

ODUCTION ar sensors with dual-polarization capability etter understanding and characterization of hazards. Advanced knowledge-based hazard algorithms would require better knowledge of ttering characteristics of hydrometeors such as , hailstones, and snowflakes. Especially, characteristics becomes important for utilize phase-array dual-polarization radar Traditionally, theoretical approaches [1]...
