Background Food allergy as an immunological disorder leads to specific local and general inflammation. There are no confident tests to confirm the diagnose of late reaction of food allergy or developing tolerance. Acute phase proteins (app) are markers of inflammation even localized or of very low intensity and their modulator effect on the immune reaction was proved in many studies. Since anti...

in order to study the response of different chickpea genotypes to drought stress and determination of drought resistant genotypes, this experiment was conducted with 18 kabouli type chickpea genotypes including of susceptible check (ilc 3279) and local check (jam). the experiment was performed in a rbc design with three replications under rained and irrigated conditions during 2001-2 cropping s...

Distributed systems are subject to a variety of failures and attacks. In this paper, we consider general (Byzantine) failures [11], in which a failed node may exhibit arbitrary behavior. In particular, a failed node may corrupt its local state, send random messages, or even send specific messages aimed at subverting the system. Many security attacks can be modeled as Byzantine failures, such as...

Reef corals are highly sensitive to heat, yet populations resistant to climate change have recently been identified. To determine the mechanisms of temperature tolerance, we reciprocally transplanted corals between reef sites experiencing distinct temperature regimes and tested subsequent physiological and gene expression profiles. Local acclimatization and fixed effects, such as adaptation, co...

This paper presents a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling methodology for long-term operation, using fault-tolerance to prevent failures. The DVFS methodology allows a dual-mode operation, targeting high performance or low-power operation modes, and using an on-line circuit monitoring with aging-aware fault-tolerance to prevent errors during a long-term operation. Fail-safe operation is achie...

The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource—one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, and opportunistic. We describe an algorithm that allows branch-and-boundproblems to be solved in such environments. In designing this algorithm, we faced two challenges: (1) scalability, to effectively exploit the variabl...

Immune infertility, in terms of reproductive failure, has become a serious health issue involving approximately 1 out of 5 couples at reproductive age. Semen that is defined as a complex fluid containing sperm, cellular vesicles and other cells and components, could sensitize the female genital tract. The immune rejection of male semen in the female reproductive tract is explained as the failur...

Contemporary Australia is in a contradictory situation as a nation where multiculturalism co-exists with various forms of what are collectively called racisms. Based on a survey of Sydney residents, this study uses a social constructivist approach to investigate the nature and sociospatial context of racist attitudes in Sydney, Australia’s largest EthniCity. Results show a mix of compositional ...

Tolerance is an issue that widely promoted in the midst of Indonesian government's efforts to moderate daily attitudes religious and state life. An understanding it continues be explored through values texts Qur'an hadith as well local traditions exist community. Mori Sama Donggo, Mbawa one tradition has tolerance which are given a dimension legitimacy by traditional leaders Qur'anic texts. Thi...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The present study was designed and carried out aiming to evaluate the effects of local dexmedetomidine (Dex) on sedation rate and hemodynamic changes in candidate patients for fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Candidate patients for fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation were randomly divided into three groups including intravenous (IV) Dex group, local ...
