In today’s 401(k) world, individuals must choose how to invest their retirement savings. Yet evidence shows that they often make poor choices on their own. Target date funds (TDFs) were designed as a potential solution. TDFs provide a pre-set mix of stocks and bonds, which shifts away from stocks and toward bonds as individuals age. These funds are often used as the default option for 401(k)s t...

Using the MS2 system for labeling mRNA, in this issue, Gallardo et al. (2011) find that telomere lengthening depends on a stable accumulation of multiple telomerase complexes in late S phase and that this process is temporally regulated by Rif1/2 proteins.

The goal of this document is to provide a computationally practical guide to game-theoretic problems. We discuss the current intractibility of finding Nash Equilibria exactly, and of even specifying a game in normal form for a large number of players. But hope is not lost. Efficiently computable solution concepts are presented as alternatives to Nash Equilibria, with a corresponding notion of P...

Manufacturing performances tend to produce defects due to various reasons which can be improved by identifying and eliminating them using six sigma. In the present work, DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) has been used to reduce the number of vehicle engine rejection. In define phase problem was defined by selecting the core issues concerned. In the measure phase data was col...

We present the results of a program to monitor the four-image gravitational lens B1608+656 with the VLA. The system was observed over a seven month period from 1996 October to 1997 May. The 64 epochs of observation have an average spacing of 3.6 d. The light curves of the four images of the background source show that the ux density of the background source has varied at the 5% level. We measur...

mazafati date is a wet and semi-dried date fruit type with dark red to black color that has premier quality. because of its high moisture content, date fruits of this variety are very perishable at room temperature and therefore must be refrigerated during storage. in this study, effect of air temperature (50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 ˚c) and air flow rate (1, 1.5 and 2 m/s) in hot air drying of mazaf...

Background & Aims: Date syrup is a natural sweetener rich in antioxidants. In addition, fructose is the predominant sugar in date syrup, which elevates blood glucose at a slower pace than the other types of sugar. The objective of this study was to evaluate the glycemic response of healthy persons to dietetic sour cherry jam prepared with date syrup. Methods: In this clinical trial, the glycemi...
