Schema updates on shared object-oriented databases (OODBs) are almost always prohibited because of the risk of making existing application programs obsolete when run against the modiied schema. We have proposed a solution approach, called Transparent Schema Evolution (TSE), that successfully addresses this problem by integrating schema evolution capabilities with object-oriented view facilities...

In transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) or prion diseases, the endogenous protease-sensitive prion protein (PrP-sen) of the host is converted to an abnormal pathogenic form that has a characteristic partial protease resistance (PrP-res). Studies with cell-free reactions indicate that the PrP-res itself can directly induce this conversion of PrP-sen. This PrP-res induced conversion re...

Introduction: Cortical areas are known to differ in their cytoarchitecture, myeloarchitecture, cortical thickness, vascularity, and regional transmitter/receptor distribution. The goal of this study was the identification of the visual motion area V5, also known as MT [1, 2, 3] as this area shows a regionally increased myelination. The earliest MRI study to show myeloarchitectural differences i...

tamarindus indica is used as a traditional treatment for diabetes. to elucidate whether tamarindus indica seed aqueous extract (tse) ameliorates metabolic syndrome in hyperinsulinemic rats, we evaluated serum insulin, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (dheas), triglyceride (tg), total cholesterol (tc), very low density lipoprotein (vldl), low density lipoprotein (ldl), high density lipoprotein (hd...

This chapter covers a few highlights from the past 20 years of research demonstrating that there is ‘motion from form’ processing. It has long been known that the visual system can construct ‘form from motion.’ For example, appropriate dot motions on a two-dimensional computer screen can lead to a percept of, say, a rotating three-dimensional cylinder or sphere. Less appreciated has been the de...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to prospectively test the hypothesis that 6-fold acceleration of a 3-dimensional (3D) turbo spin echo (TSE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pulse sequence with k-space undersampling and iterative reconstruction is feasible for fast high spatial resolution MRI of the knee, while yielding similar image quality and diagnostic performance when compared with a conv...

Abstract The present volume is rooted in a map of sedimentary successions the Arctic Region by Grantz et al. (2011), and contains brief, but comprehensive compilation geological geophysical data characterizing all significant Arctic, which cover 57% polar area north 64°N. Two main goals have been designated: (i) to provide, based on present-day knowledge data, characterization (or accumulations...

there are several researches that deal with the behavior of ses and their relationships with different economical factors. these range from papers dealing with this subject through econometrical procedures to statistical methods known as copula. this article considers the impact of oil and gold price on tehran stock exchange market (tse). oil and gold are two factors that are essential for the ...
