Abstract Individuals with work addiction (WA) are characterized by low self-esteem, high obsessiveness, and impulsiveness; they overloaded tasks show sleep problems. These characteristics suggest that workaholics might be prone to use psychostimulant substances; however, this relationship has never been investigated. The present study aimed explore the prevalence of among individuals WA in a re...

BACKGROUND Triple inhalation therapy with tiotropium (Tio) and salmeterol/fluticasone propionate combination (SFC) is widely used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the effects of triple therapy on airway structural changes remain unknown. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to assess the effects of Tio, salmeterol (SM), SFC and Tio plus SFC on airway di...

The tammar wallaby (Notamacropus eugenii) is one of the most intensively studied of all macropodids and was the first Australasian marsupial to have its genome sequenced. However, comparatively little is known about genetic diversity and differentiation amongst the morphologically distinct allopatric populations of tammar wallabies found in Western (WA) and South Australia (SA). Here we compare...

having briefly been reviewed the historical process of changing the formulae for determining the times of islamic prayers, two newly found formulae and a new rule for establishing the times of prayers would be discussed. these matters have been exploited from four texts, still preserved as manuscript: (1) siyyid ¾?y? al-d?n sh?shtar?’s ¼ad b?b dar macrifa al-a½??rl?b, (2) b?r?n?’s ’ist?c?b f? c...

This paper studies the task of inferring a binary vector s given noisy observations of the binary vector t = As modulo 2, where A is an M N binary matrix. This task arises in correlation attack on a class of stream ciphers and in the decoding of error correcting codes. The unknown binary vector is replaced by a real vector of probabilities that are optimized by variational free energy minimizat...

The cells of affine Weyl groups have been studied for more than one decade. They have been described explicitly in cases of type Ãn ( n ≥ 1 ) [13][9] and of rank ≤ 3 [1][4][10]. But there are only some partial results for an arbitrary irreducible affine Weyl group [2][7][8][16][17]. In [18], we constructed an algorithm to find a representative set of left cells of certain crystallographic group...
