We have studied optical properties of interstellar dust around the Orion A molecular cloud to investigate size distribution and composition grains. is one most clouds in solar vicinity ($d \simeq 400\ \rm{pc}$). In this paper, we used near-infrared photometric data. The data were obtained by $BVRI$ bands imaging observations. consisting $JHK_{S}$ taken from 2MASS point source catalog. produced ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether haemogram parameters are predictive factors for both the severity of the disease and a decision in favor of surgical treatment in patients with an established diagnosis of cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS) . METHODS The medical files of patients with a diagnosis of CuTS who were followed-up conservatively (n=92) or surgically treated (n=...

ISSN 0001-5555 Demodex mites may play a pathogenic role when present in excessive numbers or when penetrating into the dermis. There are two types of mites. Demodex folliculorum is usually found in the follicular infundibulum, and D. brevis in sebaceous ducts and meibomian glands (1, 2). Pityri...

A packing function is a bijection between a subset V ⊆ Nm and N, where N denotes the set of non negative integers N. Packing functions have several applications, e.g. in partitioning schemes and in text compression. Two categories of packing functions are Diagonal Polynomials and Box Polynomials. The bijections for diagonal ad box polynomials have mostly been studied for small values of m. In a...

This article outlines the evolution of a community pharmacy-based supervised consumption of methadone program in Grater Glasgow. The formalization of this program in 1994 promoted full patient compliance with the methadone regimen and reduced seepage of the drug to the illicit market. 184 of the area's 215 community pharmacies now dispense methadone for the treatment of opiate dependence. Of th...

Security is one of the most important issues in computer networks. A common view of networks security is based on technical measures. Cryptographic models, firewalls and intrusion detection models are implemented in every information framework of an organization. Although deployment of such technologies may reduce security vulnerabilities and losses from security breaches, it is not clear to or...

Free electromagnetic oscillations in a quasi-optical open resonator, i.e., in a resonator whose basic dimensions are much grater than the operating wavelength λ = 2π/k, are generated by the beams of plane waves propagating in opposite directions between resonator’s mirrors. By moving along the closed paths, the beams recover their phase characteristics when returning at some fixed point thus en...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. The aim of this study was to evaluate prognostic factors using Bayesian interval censoring analysis. METHODS This is a historical cohort study of 178 patients from February 2003 through January 2008, admitted with gastric cancer to one referral hospital in Tehran. Age at diagnosis, sex, histology type, tu...

The paper deals with obstacle avoidance for a mobile manipulator. Mobile manipulator consists of a velocity controlled mobile platform and a torque controlled robot manipulator. Therefore combined torque-velocity control is used. In spite of a combined control the system maintains dynamic compensation. The proposed algorithm enables obstacle avoidance in real time. The platform has integrated u...
