Suppose a link K in a 3-manifold M is in bridge position with respect to two different bridge surfaces P and Q, both of which are c-weakly incompressible in the complement of K. Then either • P and Q can be properly isotoped to intersect in a nonempty collection of curves that are essential on both surfaces, or • K is a Conway product with respect to an incompressible Conway sphere that natural...

the administration of b-interferon is a recognized treatment for multiple sclerosis. the frequency of side effects is an important factor in drug or product selection. in this study, the side effects of three available b-interferon products are compared in 122 multiple sclerosis patients who were treated with b-interferon products for at least three months and had the expanded disability status...

Projective mapping and sorting tasks—often called “Holistic” methods—are methods that directly obtain similarity measurements between products by asking participants (who could be novices, trained assessors, or experts, adults or children) to provide a global evaluation of a set of products of interest. In projective mapping, each participant is asked to place products on a sheet of paper in su...

The relation between minimum sum-of-products expressions for multiple-valued input, binary-valued output functions and minimum sum-of-products expressions in Post algebra for multiple-valued input, multiple-valued output functions is made precise. We give an algorithm for minimizing Post expressions and discuss a method for their factorization. Experiments are given to demonstrate the effective...

wheat and barley are the main crops in iran and has multiple uses. research suggests that subsistence food crops such as wheat and barley has a special place in low-income countries. however, to achieve maximum efficiency for a sustainable agriculture must be able to obtain agricultural inputs such as land. kerman province is one of the provinces with high production of these products. accordin...

The Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) protein p74 is associated with the occlusion-derived virus (ODV) envelope. p74 is essential for oral infectivity of ODV and has been proposed to play a role in midgut attachment and/or fusion. In this study, p74 protein was expressed in-frame with green fluorescent protein (GFP) to create a p74-GFP chimera. The C-terminal GFP por...
