regarding the role and importance of paradigm of evidence based practice and its remarkable impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of clinical services and healthcare, development of an integrated system seems necessary in order to manage dispersed data and ensure using evidence in clinical decision making, thus the aim of this study was designing a model for implementing national system of...

in electronic commerce markets, agents often should acquire multiple resources to fulfil a high-level task. in order to attain such resources they need to compete with each other. in multi-agent environments, in which competition is involved, negotiation would be an interaction between agents in order to reach an agreement on resource allocation and to be coordinated with each other. in recent ...

introduction: the development of an effective vaccine against hepatitis c virus (hcv) is still a target of intensive vaccine research. the hcv envelope proteins e1 and e2 which can induce broadly neutralizing antibodies are the major candidate for this purpose. different types of expression systems have been used to express these glycoproteins. in this study, an expression system using pichia p...

in this paper, an adaptive rule based controller for an anti-lock regenerative braking system (arbs) of a series hybrid electric bus (sheb) has been proposed. the proposed controller integrates the regenerative braking and wheel anti-lock functions by controlling the electric motor of the hybrid vehicle, without using any conventional mechanical anti-lock braking system. the performance of the ...

this paper assumes the cell formation problem as a distributed decision network. it proposes an approach based on application and extension of information theory concepts, in order to analyze informational complexity in an agent- based system, due to interdependence between agents. based on this approach, new quantitative concepts and definitions are proposed in order to measure the amount of t...

in this paper, with studying existing e-readiness evaluation models and their well-known drawbacks and advantages, we propose a new comprehensive classification for e-readiness evaluation parameters. with this aim in mind; at the beginning we identify and study all popular e-readiness evaluation parameters in international, national, industrial, organizational and individual levels, then we cat...

epidermal growth factor (egf), a growth factor involved in cell growth and differentiation, is a small polypeptide with molecular weight of approximately 6 kda known to be present in a number of different mammalian species. experimental studies in animals and humans have demonstrated that the topical application of egf accelerates the rate of epidermal regeneration of partial-thickness wounds a...

objective(s): pei based nanoparticle (np) due to dual capabilities of proton sponge and dna binding is known as powerful tool for nucleic acid delivery to cells. however, serious cytotoxicity and complicated conditions, which govern nps properties and its interactions with cells practically, hindered achievement to high transfection efficiency. here, we have tried to optimize the properties of ...
