To address this shortcoming, the current article has reinvestigated this relation through a comparative study of revolutions in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya. In the framework of this relation, this article has demonstrated that remarkable development of civil society in Tunisia a...

Transition from analogue-to-digital nuclear electronics for precise gamma radiation spectroscopy: advantages and limitations

In this paper, digital signal processing for precise gamma ray spectroscopy is presented. The basis of this system is a 14bit waveform digitizer which samples the output of pre-amplifier signals directly. The advantages and limitations of the digital spectrometer compared with analog spectrometer has been tested and analyzed from precise gamma ray spectroscopy point of view. The results shows t...

Potential impact on estimated treatment effects of information lost to follow-up in randomised controlled trials (LOST-IT): systematic review.

OBJECTIVE To assess the reporting, extent, and handling of loss to follow-up and its potential impact on the estimates of the effect of treatment in randomised controlled trials. DESIGN Systematic review. We calculated the percentage of trials for which the relative risk would no longer be significant under a number of assumptions about the outcomes of participants lost to follow-up. DATA S...

Populations of individuals exist in a wide range of sizes, from billions of microorganisms to fewer than ten individuals in some critically endangered species saved on the brink of extinction. In any evolutionary system, there is significant evolutionary pressure to evolve sequences that are both fit and robust; at high mutation rates, individuals with greater mutational robustness can outcompe...
