Considering Rao et al. (2004) and Di Crescenzo and Longobardi (2009) studies, Misagh et al. (2011) proposed a weighted information which is based on the cumulative entropy called Weighted Cumulative Entropy (WCE). The above-mentioned model is a Shiftdependent Uncertainty Measure. In this paper, we examine some of the properties of WCE and obtain some bounds for that. In order to ...

While two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) of proteins, as we know it, was first described nearly four decades ago (O’Farrell, 1975), it continues to be a critical component of comprehensive proteomics analysis today. Continuing refinements of 2-DE, particularly the development of immobilized pH gradients (Righetti, 1990), new chaotropes (Vecchio et al. 1984, Rabilloud 1998) and detergents (S...

this study aimed at examining the effect of employees’ work motivation on organizational citizenship behaviors in sport and youth offices of chaharmahal-va-bakhtiari province. all employees (n=152) in these offices completed motivation sources inventory (barbuto et al., 2004), and their leaders evaluated their organizational citizenship behaviors by organizational citizenship behavior scale (po...

As the size of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) shrinks to nanoscale, the precise and reliable dopant profiling in shallow junctions has become important for device modeling and operation (Bertrand et al.,2004). Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and spreading resistance profiling are widely used as practical characterization techniques to reveal one-dimensional ...

In this paper we specify the conditions on the parameters of pairs of gOS’s under which the corresponding generalized order statistics are ordered according to usual stochastic ordering, hazard rate ordering, likelihood ratio ordering and dispersive ordering. We consider this problem in one-sample as well as two-sample problems. We show that some of the results obtained by Franco et al. ...

Secretion and membrane fusion are fundamental cellular processes regulating endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–Golgi transport, plasma membrane recycling, cell division, sexual reproduction, acid secretion, and the release of enzymes, hormones, and neurotransmitters, to name just a few. It is therefore no surprise that defects in secretion and membrane fusion give rise to diseases such as diabetes, Alz...

introduction: numerous studies have investigated the prevalence, incidence and clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (gists). however, little is known about gists in iran. this pioneer study focuses on description of 36 patients with gists in iran. methods: a database was created for 36 patients suffering from gist who were treated in loghman medical center and tehran cance...

The variation in animal mating systems has received a great deal of attention from behaviorists and evolutionary biologists alike (Shuster & Wade 2003). Polyandry, the mating of a single female with multiple males, is evolutionarily derived (Hughes et al. 2008) and relatively rare in social insects (Strassmann 2001). Modest polyandry has evolved in Vespula wasps (Ross 1986; Foster & Ratnieks 20...

We demonstrate and validate predictive pore-scale modeling: we start with three-dimensional images of small rock samples obtained using micro-CT scanning with a resolution of a few microns, extract networks from these images and then predict multiphase flow properties by simulating capillary-controlled displacement. We study two sand packs, a poorly consolidated sandstone, Berea sandstone and a...
