primary immune thrombocytopenia is an acquired bleeding disorder with no clinically apparent cause of thrombocytopenia. clinical indicators of itp include easy bruising of the skin, prolonged bleeding on injury, mucocutaneous lesions such as petechiae and ecchymosis, epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding, hematuria and bleeding from the gums. it is important for a dentist to be aware of the clin...

background & aims of the study: corrosion and scaling play undesirable effects on transmission and distribution system of drinking water. the aim of this study was to assess the corrosion and scaling potential of drinking water resources in babol city. materials and methods: totally, 54 water samples were collected from 27 wells in spring and autumn. calciu m hardness, ph, total alkalinity, tot...

oriental hybrid lily “arabian red” mother scales were stored in moist cocopeat and perlite (1:1) for 3 or 5 months at 25 ̊c. the numbers of scale bulblets per mother scale were nearly identical in two durations. increasing storage duration promoted the growth of roots (number and length) and no. scales per scale bulblets. and, diameters of scale bulblets were more in longer storage duration (5 m...

background: in helical tomotherapy (ht), the scaling factor (sf) is the time in seconds that each leaf viewing a target would need to be open to deliver the prescribed dose. the sf is patient-specific and is used to calculate the rotational period of the gantry, and the total treatment time (ttt) of the ht. the sf is generally difficult to estimate. currently, it takes about one hour to fully o...

an analytical equation of state by song and mason is developed to calculate the pvt properties ofmercury. the equation of state is based on the statistical-mechanical perturbation theory of hard convexbodies and can be written as a fifth-order polynomial in the density. there exists three temperaturedependentparameters in the equation of state; the second virial coefficient, an effective molecu...

The Scaling Law for the Discrete Kinetic Growth Percolation Model The critical exponent of the total number of finite clusters α is calculated directly without using scaling hypothesis both below and above the percolation threshold pc based on a kinetic growth percolation model in two and three dimensions. Simultaneously, we can calculate other critical exponents β and γ, and show that the scal...

In [14], Walter and Shen use an Abel summation technique to construct a positive scaling function Pr, 0 < r < 1, from an orthonormal scaling function φ that generates V0. A reproducing kernel can in turn be constructed using Pr. This kernel is also positive, has unit integral, and approximations utilitizing it display no Gibbs’ phenomenon. These results were extended to scaling vectors and mult...

We present exact results for a lattice model of cluster growth in 1D. The growth mechanism involves interface hopping and pairwise annihilation supplemented by spontaneous creation of the stable-phase, +1, regions by overturning the unstable-phase, −1, spins with probability p. For cluster coarsening at phase coexistence, p = 0, the conventional structure-factor scaling applies. In this limit o...

The exact expression of the nuclear structure function describing inclusive lepton scattering off nuclei is recalled, and the basic approximations leading to nonrelativistic and relativistic nuclear y and x scaling, are illustrated. The general and systematic features of y-scaling structure functions are pointed out, and a recently proposed novel approach to y-scaling, based on a global scaling...
