BACKGROUND Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) maybe an important regulatory factor for angiogenesis of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Our study aimed to investigate the effect of HIF-1α on angiogenic potential of SCLC including two points: One is the effect of HIF-1α on the angiogenesis of SCLC in vivo. The other is the regulation of angiogenic genes by HIF-1α in vitro and in vivo. MET...

background: community-based participatory research (cbpr) increasingly is being used to address health issues. few evidence exist to indicate how builds the capacity of communities to function as health promoter and what resources are required to promote successful efforts. this article presents the result of a capacity assessment for preventing drug abuse through cbpr, which working with rathe...

in order to improve the reliability of the power system, sufficient amount of new capacity should be installed in the network. usually generation units’ payoff in an energy market is not adequate to cover their expenses. therefore, energy only market cannot induce investors to invest in generation field. due to energy only market inefficiency, a supplementary algorithm is suggested to cover the...

'Capacity building' is the objective of many development programmes and a component of most others. However, satisfactory definitions continue to elude us, and it is widely suspected of being too broad a concept to be useful. Too often it becomes merely a euphemism referring to little more than training. This paper argues that it is more important to address systemic capacity building, identify...

We consider flat-fading multiple antenna channels with t transmit and r receive antennas, which is modeled by an r × t complex matrix H . The first n eigenvectors of H†H , where 0 ≤ n ≤ min(t, r), are assumed to be available at the transmitter as partial spatial information of channel. A transmission method was proposed which enables better use of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) chann...

This paper presents measured data from a narrowband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel probe in an indoor office/laboratory environment. The system employs ten transmit and ten receive antennas and computes the 10 10 narrowband channel matrix at 2.45 GHz every 80 milliseconds. We use the data to study the statistical behavior of the channel coefficients and the resulting channel capa...

Little attention lias hitherto been paid to the ital Statistics" of the vast civil population of India. While the European and Native Armies, the jails, hospitals, and asylums of all kinds, have for years possessed a sanitary historian and statistician in the persons of the Sanitary Commissioner with the Government of India and his Statistical Officer, the civil community, represented by millio...

The changing global socio-economic environment over the last two decades has had significant ramifications for the health and development of youth in lower- and middle-income countries. In the Pacific region, young people are exposed to similar causes of ill-health as their peers in developed countries. This paper describes the development, implementation and major findings of the Health Behavi...
