The β-thalassemias are a group of hereditary hematological diseases caused by over 300 mutations of the adult β-globin gene. Together with sickle cell anemia, thalassemia syndromes are among the most impactful diseases in developing countries, in which the lack of genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis have contributed to the maintenance of a very high frequency of these genetic diseases in ...

Sampling plans, systems and schemes are used to accept/reject the lots when inspecting a series of lots. A sampling system is a grouping of two or more sampling plans with specified rules for switching between the plans for selecting the lots of finished products. Quick Switching System (QSS) is used to make accept or reject decisions when inspecting a series of lots. Quick Switching System req...

Abstract The spin–orbit torque (SOT) resulting from a spin current generated in nonmagnetic transition metal layer offers promising magnetization switching mechanism for spintronic devices. To fully exploit this mechanism, practice, materials with high SOT efficiencies are indispensable. Moreover, new need to be compatible semiconductor processing. This study introduces W–Ta and W–V alloy layer...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION In Japan, liraglutide was recently approved for patients with type 2 diabetes. To our knowledge, there are no markers predicting successful switching from insulin therapy to liraglutide monotherapy in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes and renal impairment. We therefore assessed clinical characteristics predicting successful switching. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed 2...

Background and Objective: Beta-thalassemia major (β-Thal) compound heterozygote of Sickle β-thalassemia (S-β Thal) are hereditary autosomal recessive disorders resulting from mutations or deletion in β-globin gene cluster. Patients with increased HbF levels having polymorphism at BCL11A site loci have shown clinical significance. The present study aimed to assess the frequency a population β-Th...

Introduction: If the patients are not satisfied with the hospital, this results in switching behavior of patients. In this situation, among different hospitals, the patients choose the hospital with higher level of service quality. So, the main aim of this paper is investigating the effect of hospital's service quality on switching behavior of inpatients in Shahid Sadoughi Hospital of Yazd. Me...

One of the difficulties with PWM switching converters is high switching loss and electromagnetic interference due to switching at non-zero voltage and current, which limits the operating frequency. In order to reduce the converter volume and weight (by increasing the frequency) and reducing switching losses, zero voltage and current switching methods are recommended. In this paper, four main ze...
