BACKGROUND Medical pluralism (MP) can be defined as the employment of more than one medical system or the use of both conventional and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for health and illness. A population-based survey and linkage with medical records was conducted to investigate MP amongst the Taiwanese population. Previous research suggests an increasing use of CAM worldwide. MET...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of an experimental primer containing a microperoxidase (MP-11) with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate on adhesive bonding of three different luting systems and dentin. The luting systems prepared were three etch-and-rinse systems (10-3/Super-Bond, 10-0/Super-Bond, 65PA/Super-Bond), a self-etching system (PanaviaF2.0), and a self-adhesive ...

Macular pigment (MP) distribution profiles were measured for 18 subjects using a Moreland anomaloscope modified for motion photometry. The total amount of MP within the central 7 degrees was estimated from the distribution profile by numerical integration. Fundus autofluorescence images were obtained for eight of these subjects using a scanning laser ophthalmoscope. Peak optical density of MP i...

با رشد سریع فناوری اطلاعات، تولیدکنندگان که در گذشته فقط به‌صورت سنتی و از طریق خرده‌فروشان محصولات خود را عرضه می‌کردند، می‌توانند مستقیم آنلاین نیز کنند. این پژوهش، یک زنجیره تأمین دو­کاناله شامل تولیدکننده خرده‌فروش نظر گرفته است آن می‌تواند دو کانال به فروش برساند. فرض می‌­شود محصول روش حمل درنتیجه زمان تحویل متفاوت ‌می‌کند قاعدتاً روی تقاضای یکدیگر تأثیر می‌گذارد. موردنظر ابتدا حالت غیرمتمر...

This study addresses the ill-conditioning problem of the memory polynomial (MP) model with application to the predistortion of highly non-linear power amplifiers with memory effects. A resource-efficient lattice-based MP structure built using the cascade of a MP generator and a lattice predictor is proposed to overcome the ill-conditioning of the MP’s data matrix. The proposed model performance...

The DINION IP starlight 8000 MP offers a new standard in round-the-clock video surveillance. Regardless of lighting conditions, time-of-day or object movement, the camera delivers relevant IP video 24/7. Capturing 16:9 images at 5 megapixel resolution (3K) even under extreme low-light conditions, it gives amazing images in fine detail. The camera produces multi-megapixel full-color video in nea...

The paper presents formalism and Implementation aspects of the programming system for Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. The system contains Resolrer which Is based on the Ideas of LISP-like languages combined with new AI formalisms. Semantic Memory Is another part of the system which Is Implemented by means of hlerarohloal DataBase. Interaction with a user Is goreraed by Metaprocessor ...

The mixture property of the general multivariate Pareto MP distributions has been studied by Yeh (2004a). Arnold (1996) mentioned that any mixing distribution with support (0,∞) is a candidate for a frailty model. This fact drives Yeh to study the frailty structure of the MP distributions. It is discerned that the MP distributions is in the one-parameter kvariate Clayton family with k-variate A...
