results two major themes were extracted from the analysis of the transcripts: “comprehensive caring commitment” and “patients’ medication grudge”. conclusions according to the findings, the nurses are in a unique position to care for people with ms; therefore they should be ready to provide high-quality patient care in ms patients. patients must be encouraged to study about their condition and ...

Kriging is one of the most often used prediction methods in spatial data analysis. This paper examines which steps of the underlying algorithms can be performed in parallel on a PVM cluster. It will be shown, that some properties of the so called kriging equations can be used to improve the parallelized version of the algorithm. The implementation is based on R and PVM. An example will show the...

The kinetic of the transesterification reaction over the Cs(x)H(₃-x)PW₁₂O₄₀/Fe-SiO₂ catalyst prepared using sol-gel and impregnation procedures was investigated in different operational conditions. Experimental conditions were varied as follows: reaction temperature 323-333 K, methanol/oil molar ratio = 12/1, and the reaction time 0-240 min. The H₃PW₁₂O₄₀ heteropolyacid has recently attracted s...

A novel approach which had foreground of industrialization, surface liquid spraying, was studied in this paper to prepare biodegradable polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) microspheres for controlled release drug delivery system. To compare with the normal methods, the microspheres prepared by this approach were characterized by particle size distribution and photograph of microscope. The relati...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To compare the diagnostic performance of arterial spin-labeling (ASL) and dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion in detecting cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes before and after endovascular recanalization in acute ischemic syndrome. METHODS The inclusion criteria for this retrospective study were patients with acute ischemic syndrome who underwent endovascular ...

STUDY QUESTION Is there a relationship between decidualization and apoptosis of decidual stromal cells (DSC)? SUMMARY ANSWER Decidualization triggers the secretion of soluble factors that induce apoptosis in DSC. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY The differentiation and apoptosis of DSC during decidualization of the receptive decidua are crucial processes for the controlled invasion of trophoblasts in ...
