introduction. in order to improve planning, educational methodology, and evaluation in medical education, well-proportioned, exact and prospective programs are needed. without doubt, the main changes in medical education programs have resulted from researches performed in this area during the last decades. revision of medical education in iran began by the cultural revolution council by order o...

The use of palm oil increases every year [1-5]. published facts show that there are differences in the composition some types oil, which determine and change effects on metabolism [1-2].

In this paper, we present our ongoing research about the composition of syncretic text for artificial museum guides. During a museum visit, the visitors receive information about the cultural assets and responses to their questions. The aim is to reuse existing texts(for example those already published on the web) to compose responses for visitors that take into account the time at their dispos...

The local structure of La 1 .~Ca~MnO 3 is determined from pair-distribution function (PDF) analysis of pulsed neutron diffraction. We have compared the effect on the local structure of crossing the metal-insulator transition as a function of temperature and composition. Crossing the metal insulator boundary at low temperature by varying the composition yields similar distortions to those seen i...

Experimental data in animals, but also observational studies in obese patients, suggest that the composition of the gut microbiota differs in obese v. lean individuals, in diabetic v. non-diabetic patients or in patients presenting other diseases associated with obesity or nutritional dysbalance, such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. In the present review, we will describe how changes in the g...

As communication networks have evolved towards IP (Internet Protocol) networks, telecommunication operators has expanded its reach to internet multimedia web content services while operating circuit-switch networks in parallel. With the adoption of SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) that enables service capability interfaces to be published and integrated with other service capabilities into n...

The manuscript presents a very rich dataset containing aerosol microphysical, cloud microphysical, and chemical properties measured at two sites in Puerto Rico. Four analyses are presented. First, a comparison between measured hygroscopic growth and cloud condensation nucleus activity, second a qualitative comparison between observed composition and measured hygroscopicity , third a comparison ...

A revised calibration is presented relating the oxygen isotope composition of the aragonite-secreting sclerosponge Ceratoporella nicholsoni, oxygen isotope composition of seawater, and ambient water temperature. This new relationship has been obtained using high-resolution dO data measured in sclerosponges from the Bahamas and Jamaica compared to ambient temperature measurements and dO values o...

In a fixed bed of porous catalyst pellets, there are developed two composition and temperature fields, one in the fluid phase and the other one at the level of solid pellets. The objective of this work is to evaluate, by numerical simulation, the unsteady state behavior of a catalyst pellet in typical operating conditions for methanol synthesis reactors. The process kinetics was described by th...
