introduction: this article intends to compare information literacy of international branch students with nursing students of jundi shapur university of medical sciences – abadan branch. methods: this research is of survey-descriptive type which has been conducted using a questionnaire to collect the data. the population studied included 222 students studying at the international branch and nurs...

Abs t rac t To analyse the demands made on the garbage collector in a graph reduction system, the change in size of an average graph is studied when an arbitrary edge is removed. In ordered binary trees the average number of deleted nodes as a result of cutting a single edge is equal to the average size of a subtree. Under the assumption that all trees with n nodes are equally likely to occur, ...

Understanding and exploiting the dynamic behavior of programs is key to improving performance beyond what is possible using static techniques. We present an implementation of a phase tracking algorithm and show that it can be successfully applied to existing SPEC2000 benchmarks, many of which show a consistent phase behavior. We then show the application of phase information to optimize branch ...

The performance of an optimized tree-type cylindrical-shaped nanoporous fltering membrane proposed in the former study is analytically investigated for varying operational parameter values. Across the membrane thickness, this membrane has two-leveled tree-structured pores including one trunk pore and the multiple branch pores. The physical properties of the surfaces of ...

The axons of physiologically characterized spiral ganglion neurons (type I) were stained throughout their arborizations in the cochlear nucleus by the intracellular injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The tips of the axonal branches were marked by distinct swellings, ranging in size and shape from small boutons to large perisomatic ramifications. Electron microscopic analysis of such swe...

PURPOSE Accurate indications and the extent of surgery for branch duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas are still debatable. In particular, small tumor is located at the head portion of pancreas presents a dilemma. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of enucleation (EN) with that of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with small (2 cm<size<3 c...

In this paper, using generalized {polya} urn models we find the expected value of the size of a branch in recursive $k$-ary trees. We also find the expectation of the number of nodes of a given outdegree in a branch of such trees.
