One of the most important components preparing and conducting military (convencional) peace support operations is operations, it’s effectiveness highly affected by distance supporting forces equipments from which are participating in actual operation. In favor forces, services’ effective availability, we can create objects camps outside garrison’s area for housing units providing life – working...

We study the effect of living in an internally displaced people’s (IDP) camp on economic activity choices in post war northern Uganda. As the decision to relocate from a camp is voluntary, camp residents may be different from returnees. We merge household data with micro-level conflict data to control for endogeneity (selection of households out from camps). We find a strong effect of camp resi...

At the rat motor endplate, pre-synaptic facilitatory adenosine A 2A and muscarinic M 1 receptors are mutually exclusive. We investigated whether these receptors share a common intracellular signalling pathway. Suppression of McN-A-343-induced M 1 facilitation of [ 3 H]ACh release was partially recovered when CGS21680C (an A 2A agonist) was combined with the cyclic AMP antagonist Rp-cAMPS. Forsk...

Actin is a major functional and structural cytoskeletal protein that mediates such diverse processes as motility, cytokinesis, contraction, and control of cell shape and polarity. While many extracellular signals are known to mediate actin filament polymerization, considerably less is known about signals that mediate depolymerization of the actin cytoskeleton. Human airway smooth muscle cells w...

Cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) are an essential part of the innate immune system. Some Gram-negative enteric pathogens, such asSalmonella enterica, show intrinsic resistance to CAMPs. However, the molecular basis of intrinsic resistance is poorly understood, largely due to a lack of information about the genes involved. In this study, using a microarray-based genomic technique, we scre...

In the initial phase of a complex emergency, an immediate population size assessment method, based on area sampling, is vital to provide relief workers with a rapid population estimate in refugee camps. In the past decade, the method has been progressively improved; six examples are presented in this paper and questions raised about its statistical validity as well as important issues for furth...

introduction: coronal microleakage may significantly reduce the prognosis of endodontic treatment. temporary restorative materials have a crucial role in preventing the infection of root canals between and after endodontic treatment. this in vitro study was designed to evaluate the coronal microleakage of three temporary restorative materials used in endodontics: coltosol, cavisol and cina. mat...

provisional cements are commonly used to facilitate retrievability of cement-retained fixed implant restorations; but compromised abutment preparation may affect the retention of implant-retained crowns.the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of abutment design and type of luting agent on the retentive strength of cement-retained implant restorations.two prefabricated abutments ...
