abstract         background and objective: the current challenge of diabetes mellitus is to prevent its complications. these complications are directly associated with hyperglycemia in diabetics. the hba1c measurement is essential for long-term glycemic control. synchronization of hba1c measurement is important in order to avoid discrepancies between results reported by laboratories. this study...

An investigation has been carried out to examine the crosstalk contamination in the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) spacecraft. Prior to this study, the cause of the pronounced striping in Earth View (EV) images and obvious discontinuity in the EV brightness temperature (BT) of the thermal emissive bands (TEB) during...

We appreciated your request to respond to the critique about our recent olfactory study (Kiecolt-Glaser et al., 2008) from Kamyar M. Hedayat, MD, FAAP (Attending, Center for Complimentary Medicine, Attending, Division of Critical Care, Department of Pediatrics, Advocate Lutheran Children’s Hospital, Chicago, IL, President and Chief Medical Officer, Aroma MD, LLC) and Michael Tsifansky, MD (Atte...

Abstract Gravitational‐wave high‐energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All‐sky Monitor (GECAM) is a space‐borne instrument dedicated to monitoring transients, including Terrestrial Gamma‐ray Flashes (TGFs) and Electron Beams (TEBs). We implemented TGF/TEB search algorithm for GECAM, with which 147 bright TGFs, 2 typical TEBs special TEB‐like events are identified during an effective observation ti...

The use of air-conditioning systems is expected to increase as a consequence of global-scale and urban-scale climate warming. In order to represent future scenarios of urban climate and building energy consumption, the Town Energy Balance (TEB) scheme must be improved. This paper presents a new building energy model (BEM) that has been integrated in the TEB scheme. BEM-TEB makes it possible to ...

Poly-L-lysine (PLL) is commonly used as an adhibiting agent due to its good viscosity, and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) is a common enriched matrix for selective cell retention technology. Therefore, the aim of this study was to use PLL to coat the surface and interspaces of DBM to form a novel type of enriched matrix [DBM coated with PLL (PLL-DBM)], in order to effectively improve the enric...

Previous research suggested that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) feeding during the period of pubescent mammary gland development in the rat resulted in diminished mammary epithelial branching which might account for the reduction in mammary cancer risk. Terminal end buds (TEB) are the primary sites for the chemical induction of mammary carcinomas in rodents. One of the objectives of the present...

Modern communications systems are heavily reliant on statistical techniques to recover information in the presence of noise and interference. One of the mathematical structures used to achieve this goal is Hadamard matrices. They are used in many different ways and some examples are given. This paper concentrates on code division multiple access systems where Hadamard matrices are used for user...
