Due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak most countries have resorted enforced lockdowns. Being forced stay home people are prone succumb various kind of stressors and may later develop psychological problems like anxiety, depression insomnia. Taking advantage this situation we developed a survey study sleep disruptions due prolonged isolation.

introduction: proteolytic enzymes, specially collagenase, are used to digest extracellular matrix, cells isolation and primary culture. it is important to find new sources of plant or animal protease instead of bacterial or tissue collagenase. in the present research, actinidin, a plentiful protease in kiwifriut, was used to isolate human umbilical vein endothelial cells. materials and methods:...

Modern process control is based on process modeling. Advanced process control (APC), real time optimization (RTO), process monitoring, operator training simulation, abnormal situation management (ASM) and fault detection and isolation (FDI) are all based on some kind of process modeling. Models are a very effective way to embed “knowledge” in process automation, which has increased its “autonom...

The rising antibiotic resistance in major bacterial pathogens together with the breakdown of the antibiotic discovery platform creates a critical situation for infection therapy. Recent developments reviving new antibiotic discovery from defining chemical rules for membrane-passing compounds to isolation chips for soil bacteria and exploring the human microbiome for antibiotic-producing bacteri...

Shared 3D environments are investigated as a means of providing information for supporting awareness and the feeling of co-presence in distance work. The aim of this work-in-progress is to develop work environments for distance work that help reduce social isolation and stress and increase work efficiency when working at a distance. Both social and ergonomic demands of the work situation will b...

THIS is the second retrospective survey of the work of the Mycological Diagnostic Service since its establishment in 1959. Its purpose is to review the isolation of dermatophytes (ringworm fungi) of both human (anthropophilic) and animal (zoophilic) origin in Northern Ireland over the period 1967 to 1973, and to compare the findings with previous reports for the province (Mackenzie and Rusk, 19...

Objectives: The situation in which an individual disconnects their communication from environment and avoids collective activities is called “social isolation”.Based on the literature reviewed, measurement tools’ validity reliability studies that were previously made not sufficient measuring concept of social isolation. study was conducted to develop a scale evaluate Methods: This methodologica...

Situation calculus has been applied widely in artificial intelligence to model and reason about actions and changes in dynamic systems. Since actions carried out by agents will cause constant changes of the agents’ beliefs, how to manage these changes is a very important issue. Shapiro et al. [22] is one of the studies that considered this issue. However, in this framework, the problem of noisy...

This paper presents a logical approach to formalization of some aspects of multi-agent systems in an incompletely known world. The contribution on this regard is as follows. We formalized reasoning about concurrent actions inside the situation calculus framework which has the suuciently clear and well-understood semantics to express diierent aspects of agent theory. Conclusions can be drawn by ...

We propose a simple relaxation of Reiter’s basic action theories, based on fluents without successor state axioms, that accommodates incompleteness beyond the initial database. We prove that fundamental results about basic action theories can be fully recovered and that the generalized framework allows for natural specifications of various forms of incomplete causal laws. We illustrate this by ...
