The influence of maternal age, spacing and number of pregnancies on birth weight and height

In this study the relation between maternal age, spacing number of pregnancies and birth weight and height was evaluated 1000 newborns in Fatemeh hospital in Hamedan. The growth parameters of newborns from mothers aged  18-35 years, were more than newborns from mothers under 18 or over 35 years. Also infants born from mothers, how had less than 24 months interval between pregnancies weight less...

A remark on the means of the number of divisors

‎We obtain the asymptotic expansion of the sequence with general term $frac{A_n}{G_n}$‎, ‎where $A_n$ and $G_n$ are the arithmetic and geometric means of the numbers $d(1),d(2),dots,d(n)$‎, ‎with $d(n)$ denoting the number of positive divisors of $n$‎. ‎Also‎, ‎we obtain some explicit bounds concerning $G_n$ and $frac{A_n}{G_n}$.

The global investigation of disasters in recent years shows that their number has increased annually and the number of affected people and costs of disasters are increasing

IL-18 enhances immunosuppressive responses by promoting differentiation into monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are major immunosuppressive cells that lead to T cell defects in cancer. IL-18 is important in inflammatory and immune responses. IL-18 has been reported to have a dual effect on tumor progression, as it not only stimulates host immune responses, but also exerts procancer effects by inducing immune escape and angiogenesis. In the present study, we invest...

Position Coding in Two-Digit Arabic Numbers Evidence From Number Decision and Same-Different Tasks

Digit position coding in two-digit Arabic numbers was examined in two masked priming experiments. In Experiment 1, participants had to decide whether the presented stimulus was a two-digit Arabic number (e.g., 67) or not (e.g., G7). Target stimuli could be preceded by a prime which (i) shared one digit in the initial position (e.g., 13-18), (ii) shared one digit but in a different position (83-...
