decreased water holding capacity are believed to skin barrier dysfunction. It was surprising that we found positive correlation between TEWL and water holding capacity in AD. Conclusions: The results of TEWL and water holding capacity suggest that the barrier function of stratum corneum is impaired in AD patients. On the one hand, further studies should be required to explain the unexpected cor...

education. today, a qualitative movement toward efficient trainings ineducational systems is necessary, since one of the important factors in the development and progress of any society is necessarily resources, manpower and their education.considering education as a basic system in growing human resources, the present article tries to address this matter, due to the fact that we are in a situ...

Inventory models in which the demand rate depends on the inventory level are based on the common real-life observation that greater product availability tends to stimulate more sales. Previous models incorporating inventory-level dependent demand rate assume that the holding cost is constant for the entire inventory cycle. This paper considers the inventory policy for an item with a stock-level...

1. Block of the phrenic nerves in three normal subjects, produced by injection of lignocaine in the neck, caused alleviation of the thoracic sensation during breath holding and prolonged breath-holding time. 2. Injection of lignocaine in the neck without nerve block had no effect on breath holding sensation or breath-holding time. 3. A patient with a spinal-cord transection at the third cervica...

We experimentally demonstrate control of a holding-beam-enabled optical flip-flop by means of optical signals that act in a remote fashion. These optical-control signals vary the holding-beam power by means of cross-gain modulation within a remotely located semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The power-modulated holding beam then travels through a resonant-type SOA, where flip-flop action oc...

following the evolution occurred in capital markets and dematerialization of securities, indirect holding system (ihs) of securities was performed so that the risk of paper crunch, robbery or loss of physical securities decreases. in this research in addition to investigating the disadvantages of direct holding system, we concluded that the main characteristic of this system is the direct relat...

We consider the problem of delegating computation of group operations from a computationally weaker client holding an input and a description of a function, to a single computationally stronger server holding a description of the same function. Solutions need to satisfy natural correctness, security, privacy and efficiency requirements. We obtain delegated computation protocols for the followin...

Mirror therapy is one of the promising rehabilitation therapeutic interventions but the neural basis of the therapeutic effect remains unknown. It has been reported that the 20-Hz rhythmic activity is induced in the primary motor cortex after median nerve stimulation and the amount of the induced activity is decreased when the primary motor cortex is activated. In the present study, to elucidat...

abstract soilless culture of greenhouse vegetables has been a fast developing section in iran during recent years. most growers use hydroponics systems with artificial substrates. some of the used substrates have low water retention which results in wasting a great deal of solution. on the other hand, low vigor of cucumber root in water and fertilizer absorption, especially in low media tempera...
