background: the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the cognitive impairment and naa/cr and cho/cr ratios in the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1hmrs), and to assess the importance of 1hmrs in the early diagnosis of cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic white matter lesions (wmls). materials and methods: a total of 45 patients (23males and 22 femal...

The Scalable Multiplexed Ion Trap II (SMIT II) program based at Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) was funded by IARPA during the period from August 2008 through July 2010. The overall goal was to design, fabricate and test surface ion traps through a closely correlated, multi-disciplinary approach involving design, simulation, fabrication and test facilities at GTRI and the Nanotechnology ...

Abstract In 1990, Romero presented a beautiful formula for the projection onto set of rectangular matrices with prescribed row and column sums. Variants Romero’s were rediscovered by Khoury Glunt, Hayden, Reams bistochastic (square) in 1998. These results have found various generalizations applications. this paper, we provide more general problem finding scaled Our approach is based on computin...

increasing incidence of food-borne disease along with its social and economic consequences have led to conducting extensive research in order to produce safer food and develop new antimicrobial agents; among them, extensive use of probiotics and bacteriocins as biological additives is of significant importance. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the interactions (growth behavior and s...
