background: microsatellite instability (msi) is a mutational signature that is the hallmark of lynch syndrome, and msi testing is a cost-effective method to screen the disease. since there is no enough data about msi status and associated clinicopathologic features of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (hnpcc) in iran, our study is a new trial to describe them in center of iran (isfahan)...

Two new family samples are described for handedness in parents and children. In the first sample, drawn from the general population, questionnaires were completed for each individual (a self-report sample). In the second sample students completed a handedness questionnaire and described the handedness of their parents (indirect report sample). The percentages of left-handed children in the vari...

We study the notion of $\mathcal J$-MAD families where J$ is a Borel ideal on $\omega$. show that if an arbitrary $F_\sigma$ ideal, or any finite countably iterated Fubini product ideals, then there are no analytic infinite families, and assuming Projective Determinacy projective families; under full Axiom + $V=\mathbf{L}(\mathbb{R})$ J$-mad families. These results apply in particular when sets...

We consider the cutoff phenomenon in the context of families of ergodic Markov transition functions. This includes classical examples such as families of ergodic finite Markov chains and Brownian motion on families of compact Riemannian manifolds. We give criteria for the existence of a cutoff when convergence is measured in L-norm, 1 < p < ∞. This allows us to prove the existence of a cutoff i...

Closure (interior) operators and closure systems are important tools in many mathematical environments. Considering the logical sense of a complete residuated lattice L, this paper aims to present concepts L-closure (L-interior) by means infimums (supremums) L-families L-subsets show their equivalence categorical sense. Also, two types fuzzy relations between corresponding L-interior proposed, ...

during 1999-2002, in the course of a faunistic survey of oribatid mites of iran, twelve species of higher or brachypyline oribatid mites (brachypylina) belonging to eleven gen-era and seven families from various localities of iran were collected: aleurodamaeus* se-tosus (aleurodamaeidae*); licnobelba* alestensis (licnobelbidae*); licnodamaeus fissu-ratus, l. pulcherrimus (licnodamaeidae); damae...

The moments of central values of families of L-functions have recently attracted much attention and, with the work of Keating and Snaith [(2000) Commun. Math. Phys. 214, 57-89 and 91-110], there are now precise conjectures for their limiting values. We develop a simple method to establish lower bounds of the conjectured order of magnitude for several such families of L-functions. As an example ...

I test for welfare-induced migration by comparing AFDC participation in border counties to interior counties in the same state. If migration costs are lower for border county residents, border counties on the high-benefit side of a state border should have higher welfare participation relative to the state's interior counties. Border counties on the low-benefit side should have lower welfare pa...

The genome projects have unearthed an enormous diversity of genes of unknown function that are still awaiting biological and biochemical characterization. These genes, as most others, can be grouped into families based on sequence similarity. The PFAM database currently contains over 2,200 such families, referred to as domains of unknown function (DUF). In a coordinated effort, the four large-s...

The authors explore how to define a welfare spell and how well surveys measure welfare spells. By comparing survey and administrative data from the Work Pays Demonstration Project in California on the receipt of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), they find that a substantial amount of administrative churning occurs in administrative data. Through a mixing model of several break len...
