Animals require information about their location and directional heading in order to navigate. Directional information is provided by a population of cells in the postsubiculum and the anterior thalamic nuclei that encode a very accurate, continual representatton of the animal’s directional heading in the horizontal plane, which is independent of the animal’s location. Recent studies indicate t...

OBJECTIVES We evaluated the impact of reference vessel segment plaque burden on lesion remodeling. BACKGROUND Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) assessment of lesion remodeling compares lesions to reference segments. However, reference segments are rarely disease-free and, therefore, have also undergone remodeling changes. METHODS Pre-intervention IVUS was obtained in 274 patients with right coron...

throughout the present study the effect of using markers close to genes affecting a trait, ascompared with the use of all the markers of a genome, and also the effect of on increase in thenumber of reference groups, on the accuracy of a genetic evaluation, was investigated. genomicevaluation was done using blup method. the results indicated that use of markers close to genesaffecting a trait an...

background:purpose of present study was to investigate whether chronic exposure to zinc fume would affect serum zinc levels, memory, and cognition in zinc fume-exposed workers. methods:in a cross-sectional study, all zinc fume-exposed workers (exposed, n=20) were compared with unexposed workers (reference, n=20) matched for sex and education level in a zinc galvanization factory. the workers we...

Today, the construction industry is facing intense competition and success in this competition depends on several factors. Project managers try to minimize project time and cost, carbon dioxide emission and at the same time maximizing the quality of project and its plan robustness. In this paper, study construction project scheduling considering a discrete trade-off between time, cost, quality,...
