mumps is an acute contagious viral disease that usually manifests as inflam¬mation of the parotid glands. the disease may be associated with symptoms such as parotitis, orchitis and meningoencephalitis. 85% of cases occur in children under 15 years of age. the disease is rare below two years but increases with age, reaching a maximum at 5 to 9 years. some studies in iran showed that the highest...

We propose the Volume Conjecture for relative Reshetikhin–Turaev invariants of a closed oriented 3-manifold with colored framed link inside it whose asymptotic behavior is related to volume and Chern–Simons invariant hyperbolic cone metric on manifold singular locus angles determined by coloring. prove conjecture in case that ambient obtained doing an integral surgery along some components fund...

A part of the immune system that improves (complements) the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear microorganisms and injured cells from an organism, attacks the pathogen's cell membrane, and encourages inflammation called complement system. It is main part of immune system. Over thirty proteins and protein pieces compose the complement system, including cell membrane receptors, an...

In this note, we give an equilibrium existence theorem for exchange economies with asymmetric information and with an infinite dimensional commodity space. In our model, we assume that preferences are represented by well behaved utility functions, the positive cone has a non empty interior and the individual rational utility set is compact. Our result complements the corresponding one in Podcze...

Let M be a closed 4-manifold with a free circle action. If the orbit manifold N3 satisfies an appropriate fibering condition, then we show how to represent a cone in H2(M ;R) by symplectic forms. This generalizes earlier constructions by Thurston, Bouyakoub and Fernández et al . In the case that M is the product 4-manifold S1 ×N , our construction complements our previous results and allows us ...

We study the Korn-Poincaré inequality: ‖u‖ W1,2(Sh) ≤ Ch‖D(u)‖L2(Sh), in domains S that are shells of small thickness of order h, around an arbitrary smooth and closed hypersurface S in R. By D(u) we denote the symmetric part of the gradient ∇u, and we assume the tangential boundary conditions: u · ~n = 0 on ∂S. We prove that Ch remains uniformly bounded as h → 0, for vector fields u in any fam...

BACKGROUND This study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of an active survey method for detecting anesthesia nonroutine events (NREs). An NRE is any aspect of clinical care perceived by clinicians or observers as a deviation from optimal care based on the context of the clinical situation. METHODS A Comprehensive Open-ended Nonroutine Event Survey (CONES) was developed to elicit NREs. CONES...

Teleosts show a great variety in visual opsin complement, due to both gene duplication and gene loss. The repertoire ranges from one subfamily of visual opsins (scotopic vision) including rod opsin only retinas seen in many deep-sea species to multiple subfamilies of visual opsins in some pelagic species. We have investigated the opsin repertoire of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) using information...
