T This paper reports the mixing performance of an AC electroosmotic micromixer based on the three-dimensional extensional flow generated by a face-to-face, asymmetric pair of planar electrodes. This work represents the first successful use of such an asymmetric electrode pair in an AC electroosmotic micromixer. Due to the highly 3dimentional flow pattern generated by the face-to-face electrode ...

PURPOSE The association of retinal vein occlusion and hereditary thrombophilia abnormalities is not established, with controversial results in the literature. This study investigates the association between retinal vein occlusion and three thrombophilic mutations: factor V 1691A (factor V Leiden), prothrombin 20210A (PT 20210A) and homozygous methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase 677T (MTHFR 677T...

Let G be a (p,q) graph. An injective map f : E(G) → {±1,±2,...,±q} is said to be an edge pair sum labeling if the induced vertex function f*: V (G) → Z - {0} defined by f*(v) = ΣP∈Ev f (e) is one-one where Ev denotes the set of edges in G that are incident with a vertex v and f*(V (G)) is either of the form {±k1,±k2,...,±kp/2} or {±k1,±k2,...,±k(p-1)/2} U {±k(p+1)/2} according as p is even or o...

background: regulatory t cells have been suggested to have a protective role against acute rejection in allograft recipients. however, there is little information available about their contribution to chronic rejection process. the role of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (tgf- β1) as a profibrogenic and/or immunoregulatory cytokine in renal allografts is also controversial. objectives: to eva...

In order to determine the best form factor formula for Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations in Talesh (Western Guilan province-Iran), a number of 110 trees were selected based on their distribution in diameter classes, from 12 to 34 cm (in a two- cm diameter interval). First, several quantitative factors including diameter at breast height, diameter at 0.65 m of height, and diameter at st...

Fully depleted thick silicon skipper-charge-coupled devices (skipper CCDs) are an important technology to probe neutrino and light-dark-matter interactions due their subelectron read-out noise. However, the successful search for rare or dark-matter events requires signal all backgrounds be fully characterized. In particular, a measurement of electron-hole pair creation energy below 150 eV Fano ...

We investigate radial excitation of the quark-antiquark pair in ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ meson and its effects on $\ensuremath{\gamma}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{*}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ transition form factor framework light cone perturbative QCD. The existing constraints wave function lowest Fock state $|q\overline{q}⟩$ allow a sizeable pair. construct for first radially e...

The electromagnetic form factor is extracted from both components of the electromagnetic current: J+ and J− with a pseudo-scalar coupling of the quarks to the kaon. In the case of J+ there is no pair term contribution in the Drell-Yan frame (q+ = 0). However, J− component of the electromagnetic current the pair term contribution is different from zero and is necessary include it to preserve the...
