Transposition tables are a well-known method for pruning duplicates in heuristic search. This paper presents a detailed analysis of transposition tables for IDA*. We show that some straightforward implementations of IDA* with transposition tables (IDA*+TT) can result in suboptimal solutions being returned. Furthermore, straightforward implementations of IDA*+TT are not complete. We identify sev...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate of, and risk factors for, subsequent impaired driving activity (IDA) in a cohort of injured passengers who were treated for injuries in a Canadian trauma center. METHODS We studied adult passengers who were occupants in vehicles involved in motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) and either included in the British Columbia (BC) trauma registr...

Introduction: Iron deficiency (ID) is the most prevalent nutritional disorder in the world. The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is about 9% in toddlers, 9-11% in adolescent girls and less than 1% in teenage boys. IDA presents when there is not sufficient iron for haemoglobin synthesis. In particular it has negative effects on the behavior, cognitive performance, immune system and phy...

BACKGROUND Seroepidemiological and clinical studies suggest that Helicobacter pylori may cause iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in the absence of peptic lesions by undefined mechanisms, which still remain to be fully elucidated. Gastric acidity and ascorbic acid (AA) promote iron absorption. AA is lowered in the presence of H pylori infection. H pylori can cause atrophic body gastritis with achlor...

conclusions it seems that the preventive effects of rutin against damages caused by ida can be attributed to its ability to reduce apoptosis, which may be mediated by underexpression of caspase3 and overexpression of bcl2 genes. also, it could increase the expression of dazl that may be important in spermatogenesis. methods in the current experimental study, balb/c mice were divided into 8 grou...

Despite high prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in patients with acute or chronic gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), IDA and iron deficiency (ID) are frequently untreated. Reasons may be misconceptions about the impact and diagnosis of IDA and the efficacy of new treatments. Addressing these misconceptions, this article summarizes current evidence for better understanding and management o...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Many members in the IDA are not actively involved in the association. Therefore, despite representation being a key function of the IDA, members are not equally represented in the association. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY This study aimed to examine IDA members' views, with a view to identifying changes that might enhance the members' active engagement. MATERIALS AND METHOD...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The stimulatory and inhibitory role of ethylene and auxin, respectively, in leaf abscission (leaf drop) is well documented. More recently, IDA (INFLORESCENCE DEFICIENT IN ABSCISSION) peptides and their putative interacting receptor-like-kinase partners, HAESA and HAESA-like2, were shown to be essential components in Arabidopsis floral organ abscission. Prior to research on I...

Binding of idazoxan (IDA) to imidazoline receptors of the I2 subtype in astrocytes influences astroglial gene expression as evidenced by increased expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein and mRNA. To determine whether IDA affected glial inflammatory gene expression, we tested the effects of IDA on astroglial nitric oxide synthase type-2 (NOS-2) expression. NOS-2 was induced in primary rat...
