Using the Bethe ansatz we obtain in a determinant form the exact solution of the master equation for the conditional probabilities of the totally asymmetric exclusion process with particle-dependent hopping rates on Z. From this we derive a determinant expression for the timeintegrated current for a step-function initial state.

G rowing interest has been given to the contamination of commonly used instruments in the physical exam (1,2). We are unaware of such scrutiny being given to the 10-g monofila-ment. The 10-g monofilament is a common screening test used to identify patients with loss of protective sensation and is part of recommended practice for the comprehensive foot exam for patients with diabetes (3). The in...

during early neurogenesis, the floor plate plays an essential role(s) in the differentiation of the ventral portion of neural tube. in this study, we detected the specific distribution of unique glycoconjugate during the floor plate differentiation. formalin fixed paraffin sections of balb/c mice (10-14 embryonic days) were processed for histochemical studies using horseradish peroxidase-labell...

introduction: today nano-medicine tries to produce new drugs to reduce the dosage and side effects of their conventional forms. according to the interaction between zinc and opioidergic system activity, this study has investigated the effect of new kind of zinc supplement, nano zinc oxide (nzno), in compared to its conventional form (czno), in presence and absence of opioidergic system activity...

introduction: in open reduction and internal fixation for the treatment of mandibular fracture, the fixation technique used is very important in reducing post-operative complications and promoting the healing process. this study assessed the results of fixation of the mandible using two mini-plates perpendicular to each other in the lower border of the mandible for fracture treatment.    materi...

introduction: in order to assess our skill in the tubularized incised plate (tip) urethroplasty technique in children with hypospadias. material andmethods: of 307 children (mean age 38 month) who received a tip urethroplasty, all had primary hypospadias. patients who were referred with complication were eliminated from our study. the hypospadias defects were subcoronal in 25 (8%), distal penil...

the objective of the present study is the synthesis of mwcnt-tio2 hybrid nanostructures by solvothermal synthesis method with ticl4 as precursor. the heat transfer enhancement due to the use of mwcnt-tio2 nanofluid was investigated. as-prepared hybrid materials were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the results showed that mwcnts were uniformly dec...

mass vaccination against viral infections such as mumps is a very noticeable and appropriate attempt in common health. mumps infection has severe complications like deafness, infertility and meningitis. attenuated live vaccine of mumps is produced and used to prevent the problems. viral content in the monovalent vaccine is assayed with different methods. nowadays international standards introdu...
