BACKGROUND Urinary Tract Infections (UTI), and their complications, cause serious health problems, which affect millions of people every year. Infections of the urinary tract are the second most common type of infection in the body and approximately 20% of women are especially prone to UTIs for reasons not yet well understood. Urinary Tract Infections in men are not as common as in women yet ca...

We study the Dirac equation on an M5 brane wrapped on a divisor in a Calabi–Yau fourfold in the presence of background flux. We reduce the computation of the normal bundle U(1) anomaly to counting the solutions of a finite–dimensional linear system on cohomology. This system depends on the choice of flux. In an example, we find that the presence of flux changes the anomaly and allows instanton ...

We develop a macroscopic model for mixed urban and freeway traffic networks that is particularly suited for control purposes. In particular, we use an extended version of the METANET traffic flow model to describe the evolution of the traffic flows in the freeway part of the network. For the urban network we propose a new model that is based on the Kashani model. Furthermore, we also describe t...

We envision participatory texture documentation (PTD) as a process in which a group of users (dedicated individuals and/or general public) with cameraequipped mobile phones participate in collaborative collection of urban texture information. PTD enables inexpensive, scalable and high quality urban texture documentation. We propose to implement PTD in two steps. At the first step, termed viewpo...

for many years, there has been the concept of inner meaning of quran in addition to the outer one, so that, the tendency to paraphrase(tavil) and interpretation(tafsir) altogether, has been in the focal point of attention of this domain, s thinkers. in this field, fayz-e-kashani having an internal tendency to verses taken from philosophical- mystical stores from one hand and quranical-tradition...

from the perspective of abdul razzaq kashani, hearing of extra-sensory has different types that include: acceptable and binding hearing, hearing of interpretative, hearing of guidance and hearing of divine. the purpose of divine hearing is that in which god is heard in each of his revelation. this research’s question is: how can divine hearing in kashani’s mystical thought is to be explained? t...

B kann das Verhalten thermischer Neutronen in Substanzen, deren Streuquerschnitt groß gegen den Einfangquerschnitt ist, mit Hilfe der klassischen Diffusionstheorie beschrieben werden2. Für einen Strom thermischer Neutronen gilt daher die Beziehung j — D grad n ( j Stromdichte, D Diffusionskoeffizient, n Dichte der Neutronen). Durchsetzt ein solcher Neutronenstrom die Grenzschicht zweier Medien,...
