The BL Lac Object Mkn 501 was in a state of high activity in the TeV range in 1997. During this time Mkn 501 was observed by all Cherenkov-Telescopes of the HEGRA-Collaboration. Part of the data were also taken during moonshine thus providing a nearly continuous coverage for this object in the TeV-range. We have carried out a QPO analysis and found evidence for a 23 day periodicity. We applied ...

in order to evaluate the response of major nutrients concentration, uptake and their efficiencies of isabgol (plantago ovata) to n fertilizer combinations and irrigation regimes, a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research farm of shahrekord university, 2009. the experiment was arranged as split-plot, in randomized complete block design with three replications. the irrigation ...

T cell defect is a common feature in lepromatous or borderline lepromatous leprosy (LL/BL) patients in contrast to tuberculoid or borderline tuberculoid type (TT/BT) patients. Tuberculoid leprosy is characterized by strong Th1-type cell response with localized lesions whereas lepromatous leprosy is hallmarked by its selective Mycobacterium leprae specific T cell anergy leading to disseminated a...

Early and adequate antibiotic therapy increases the likelihood of survival in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with sepsis [1]. Beta-lactams (BL) are the most frequently prescribed antibiotics because of their broad spectrum and low toxicity [2]. Supra-therapeutic serum levels have been suggested to be associated with clinical toxicity, mainly neurological. In the clinical settings, determini...

Fuzzy logics are designed to support logical inferences on vague or uncertain premises, and they are useful in several theoretical and applicative areas of computer science. A central paradigm in mathematical fuzzy logic, popularized by Hájek [Háj98], is based on the idea of weakening Boolean logic starting from a suitable generalization of Boolean conjunction, namely, a class of [0, 1]-valued ...

OBJECTIVE To compare success and complication rates, based on staining of nerves and other structures, among three techniques of paravertebral brachial plexus blockade (PBPB) in dogs. STUDY DESIGN Prospective randomized design. ANIMALS A total of 68 thoracic limbs from 34 dogs. METHODS Limbs were randomly assigned to blind (BL) (n = 24), nerve stimulator-guided (NS) (n = 21) or ultrasound...

BACKGROUND The National Eye Institute 39-Question Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-39) is an indicator of vision-related quality of life (QoL). The NEI VFQ-39 is used to assess the QoL in patients with non-infectious posterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis, or panuveitis, treated with subconjunctival (SCJ) or intravitreal (IVT) sirolimus as an immunomodulatory therapeutic (IMT) agent, del...

Abstract The Third Catalog of Hard Fermi Large Area Telescope Sources (3FHL) reports the detection 1556 objects at E > 10 GeV. However, 177 sources remain unassociated and 23 are associated with a ROSAT X-ray unknown origin. Pointed observations were conducted on 30 these Swift−XRT. A bright source counterpart was detected in 21 out fields. In five fields, we more than one counterpart, total...
