jeremy shiffman’s editorial appropriately calls on making all forms of power more apparent and accountable, notably productive power derived from expertise and claims to moral authority. this commentary argues that relationships based on productive power can be especially difficult to reveal in global health policy because of embedded notions about the nature of power and politics. yet, it is e...

background: in this study, measurement of indoor radon and its progeny levels was carried out in gas turbine power station in haryana ( india ), where natural gas is used as fuel. for comparison, the results of a study carried out in thermal power plant in haryana are also presented. radon being a ubiquitous air pollutant has global impact and its monitoring in the environment at work places is...

background: the approaches chosen for control of outbreaks of infectious diseases in aquatic farming industry include improvement of environmental conditions, stocking of specific pathogen free (spf) brood stockings, and application of vaccines and immunostimulants. despite numerous studies on the effects of ergosan on immune system of aquatic animals, there is no data available on antioxidant ...

nasir khosrow embarks upon a seven year journey in order to come to terms with his spiritual crisis. the quest was the inevitable outcome of the tensions and conflicts between nasir and the institutionalized forms of power and knowledge. the tensions lead to the formation of a series of binary oppositions—verbal and nonverbal—within the text of his travelogue. the researchers have analyzed the ...

objective: in this research, a new approach termed as “evolutionary-based brain map” is presented as a diagnostic tool to classify schizophrenic and control subjects by distinguishing their electroencephalogram (eeg) features. methods: particle swarm optimization (pso) is employed to find discriminative frequency bands from different eeg channels. by deploying the energy of those selected frequ...

continuous four hours eeg (electroencephalogram) recordings and its power spectrum analysis using fast fourier transform (fft) in urethane anesthetized male charles foster rats were performed in two groups: open brain injury and p-cpa (para-chlorophenylalanine) pretreated before brain injury, respectively, and compared with the eeg power spectrum of control rats. the eeg power spectrum analysis...

external root resorption may be an uncontrolled phenomenon, and the most known interventions have no effect. even progressive external root resorption may not be controlled by long term ca(oh)2 therapy. currently, there are no treatment options for vital tooth that suffer from root resorption. this invasive resorption can lead to extraction of the tooth. the use of new technologies such as low ...

introduction: management is one of the most important factors for life, development, growth or death of any organizations including hospitals. the power is of one of the main concepts that by focusing on the fundamental and theoretical efforts considered as an important factor at all levels of management and human resources. managers who know the sources of power and are using them, have more e...

full adder cell is often placed in the critical path of other circuits. therefore it plays an important role in determining the entire performance of digital system. moreover, portable electronic systems rely on battery and low-power design is another concern. in conclusion it is a vital task to design high-performance and low-power full adder cells. since delay opposes against power consumptio...

with the development of restructured power systems and increase of prices in some hours of day and increase fuel price, demand response programs were noticed more by customers. demand response consists of a series of activities that governments or utilities design to change the amount or time of electric energy consumption, to achieve better social welfare or some times for maximizing the benef...
