three hundred twin births from a hospital in tehran, iran have been analyzed for seasonal variation at birth and physical measurements. the results show that the highest twinning rates for mm (5.61), ff (7.73) and mf (5.36) were seen in april, january and september, respectively. the four physical measurements at birth showed non-significant differences among the male and female twins, but mm a...

This paper proposes an efficient pipelined architecture of elliptic curve scalar multiplication (ECSM) over GF(2 m ). The architecture uses a bit-parallel finite field (FF) multiplier accumulator (MAC) based on the Karatsuba–Ofman algorithm. The Montgomery ladder algorithm is modified for better sharing of execution paths. The data path in the architecture is well designed, so that the critical...

objective: the role of vitamin d has soared to a pinnacle in recent years with functions affecting 229 human genes linked to cardiovascular, autoimmune, humoral, pulmonary and neurological diseases. relationship between obesity and vitamin d has not as yet been fully established. the objective of the study was to determine the possible relationship between vitamin d receptor (vdr) gene polymorp...

The SuperB asymmetric e+ecollider is designed for 10 36 cm -2 s -1 luminosity and beam energies of 6.7 and 4.18 GeV for e+ and erespectively. The High and Low Energy Rings (HER and LER) have one Interaction Point (IP) with 66 mrad crossing angle. The 1258 m rings fit to the INFN-LNF site at Frascati. The ring emittance is minimized for the high luminosity. The Final Focus (FF) chromaticity corr...

The ring structure of Lian-Zuckerman states for (q, p) minimal models coupled to gravity is shown to beR = R0⊗C[w,w] where R0 is the ring of ghost number zero operators generated by two elements and w is an operator of ghost number −1. Some examples are discussed in detail. For these models the currents are also discussed and their algebra is shown to contain the Virasoro algebra. † Address aft...

Abstract Controlling electromagnetic waves on the material is needed by several applications such as sensors, stealth technology, and energy harvesting. An artificial that could control called metamaterial. Meanwhile, a metamaterial absorber can absorb wave. Two concepts be used to explain absorbing phenomena absorber: matching impedance of air part imaginary high index refractive collectively ...

This document describes Macro-FF, an adaptive planning system developed on top of FF version 2.3. The original FF is a fully automatic planner that uses a heuristic search approach. In addition, Macro-FF can automatically learn and use macro-actions with the goal of reducing the number of expanded nodes in the search. Macro-FF also includes implementation enhancements for reducing space and CPU...
