BACKGROUND Surfactant protein B (SP-B; 79 residues) belongs to the saposin protein superfamily, and plays functional roles in lung surfactant. The disulfide cross-linked, N- and C-terminal domains of SP-B have been theoretically predicted to fold as charged, amphipathic helices, suggesting their participation in surfactant activities. Earlier structural studies with Mini-B, a disulfide-linked c...

statement of problem: placement of mini-dental implants when single-tooth restorations are needed and the space is not sufficient to insert a standard diameter implant is indicated. there are many different mini-implant brands with various materials and surface characteristics; however, there are just few studies comparing them with each other. objectives: in this study, finite element analysis...

Mini-cutting is the most common commercially used clonal propagation method in Brazil. However, several environmental interferences can impact this process, hindering production of propagules. Mini-tunnel have been to overcome these difficulties, allowing for an increase productivity mini-stumps and rooting mini-cuttings. This study aimed evaluate effect mini-tunnel models on mini-stump two hyb...

در بحث امدادرسانی به مصدومان بلایای طبیعی و غیرطبیعی، هدف اصلی یک زنجیره این است که اقلام موردنیاز مانند آب مواد غذایی، دارویی، پناهگاه سایر ملزومات سریع‌ترین زمان ممکن در­دسترس قرار بگیرد تا از تعداد مرگ‌ومیر ناشی وقوع بلایا حد امکان کاسته شود؛ بنابراین طراحی توسعه اجرایی­کردن می‌تواند نقش مهم بزرگی دست­‌یافتن پاسخ مناسب ایفا کند. بارزترین تفاوت‌ها برخورد با ، غیرقابل‌پیش‌بینی‌­بودن تقاضا نظر ...

minimal stimulation in vitro fertilization (mini-ivf) consists of a gentle controlled ovarian stimulation that aims to produce a maximum of five to six oocytes. there is a misbelief that mini-ivf severely compromises pregnancy and live birth rates. an appraisal of the literature pertaining to studies on mini-ivf protocols was performed. the advantages of minimal stimulation protocols are report...

Mini-models are local regression models, which can be used for the function approximation learning. In the paper, there are presented mini-models based on hyper-spheres and hyper-ellipsoids and researches were made for linear and nonlinear models with no limitations for the problem input space dimension. Learning of the approximation function based on mini-models is very fast and it proved to h...
