background: alopecia areata (aa) is a noncicatricial (nonscarring) alopecia. the association between aa and celiac disease (cd) is debatable. several studies declare the relationship between aa and cd as measurement of celiac autoantibodies (anti‑gliadin iga and anti‑gliadin igg), but a few studies consider anti‑tissue transglutaminase iga. the aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency di...

Abstract The north-east sector of the Himalaya is one most active tectonic belts, with complex geological and features. b-value spatial correlation dimension (D c ) earthquake distribution in its adjacent regions (20–32°N 88–98°E) are estimated present study. Based on seismicity faulting pattern, region divided into five regions, namely (i) South-Tibet, (ii) Eastern-Syntaxis, (iii) Himalayan-Fr...

measurement of magnitude and frequency of the voltage flicker is very important for monitoring andcontrolling voltage flicker efficiently to improve the network power quality. this paper presents twonew methods for measurement of flicker signal parameters using shuffled frog leaping algorithm(sfla) and imperialist competitive algorithm (ica). this paper estimates fundamental voltage andflicker ...

today, chronic viral hepatitis is considered as a public health problem in the world. totally, 5% of the world population, especially in asia and africa suffer from this problem. the prevalence of acute hepatitis in america is 0.1-0.2 percent, 50% of those with hepatitis c (hcv) and 5-10% of them with hepatitis b (hcv) develop chronic hepatitis. determining hbv and hcv genotypes is important to...

Using a novel light-intensity method, we quantify for the first time the magnitude and spatial variance in acoustic energy density along a microchannel during acoustophoretic focusing of particles with frequency-modulated ultrasound. We compare the distribution in energy density between single-frequency (SF) and frequency-modulation (FM) actuation along the microchannel. In addition, we analyze...

The relations between the frequency of occurrence and the magnitude of earthquakes are established in the southern Okinawa Trough for 2823 relocated earthquakes recorded during a passive ocean bottom seismometer experiment. Three high b-values areas are identified: (1) for an area offshore of the Ilan Plain, south of the andesitic Kueishantao Island from a depth of 50 km to the surface, thereby...
