We calculate analytically the probability density P (tm) of the time tm at which a continuous-time Brownian motion (with and without drift) attains its maximum before passing through the origin for the first time. We also compute the joint probability density P (M, tm) of the maximum M and tm. In the driftless case, we find that P (tm) has power-law tails: P (tm) ∼ t −3/2 m for large tm and P (...

Globally, β-Thalassemia Major (β-TM) is the most commonly inherited hemolytic anemia, with a high incidence rate in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Mediterranean countries. Patients with β-TM require lifelong adherence to their distressing treatment regimens, including regular blood transfusions and daily chelation therapy.

chemical denaturation and thermal denaturation of13-lactoglobulin a (f3 — lga) in the absenceand presence of various concentrations sugar osmolytes and polyols were measured bymonitoring changes in the absorption coefficients at ph 2.0. it has been observed that agd°(h20), (gibbs free energy change in absence of denaturant at 25 °c) of f3-1ga in the presenceof 10% (w/v) trehalose, sucrose, sorb...

empirical models are important tools for relating field-measured biophysical variables to remotely sensed data. regression analysis has been a popular empirical method of linking these two types of data to estimate variables such as biomass, percent vegetation canopy cover, and bare soil. this study was conducted in a semi-arid rangeland ecosystem of qazvin province, iran. this paper presents t...

This paper describes the new linguistic approaches of the MetaMorphoTM system, a linguistically enriched translation memory. Our aim was to develop an improved TM system that uses linguistic analysis in both source and destination languages to yield more exact matches to the source sentence. The MetaMorphoTM stores and retrieve subsentential segments and uses a linguistically based measure to d...

PURPOSE To evaluate the normal aging effects on trabecular meshwork (TM) parameters using Fourier domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) images. PATIENTS AND METHODS One eye from 45 participants with open angles was imaged. Two independent readers measured TM area, TM length, and area and length of the TM interface shadow from 3 age groups (18-40, 41-60, and 61-80). Meas...

Background: This study aimed to assess cutoff of ferritin for evaluation of osteoporosis in patients with Thalassemia Major (TM). Materials and Methods: This analytic cross-sectional study was conducted in17 Shahrivar children's hospital, Rasht, Iran, from November 2017 to November 2018. The inclusion criteria were indicated as the presence of  TM in patients aged 12-19 years old with records ...
