In France as well as in other countries, some facilities that hosted nuclear researches must be demolished because safety standards have changed. In that context, radioactive waste management is a challenging task faced by existing nuclear power countries. Therefore, characterization is essential to classify wastes and to reduce costs. In many facilities, after the removal of glove boxes, fume ...

Modern interfaces increasingly rely on screens filled with digital text to display information to users. Previous research has shown that even relatively subtle differences in the design of the on-screen typeface can influence to-device glance time in a measurable and meaningful way (Reimer et al., 2014). Here we outline a methodology for rapidly and flexibly investigating the legibility of typ...

this research attempted to study the reading behavior of graduate students in digital environment at university of isfahan through 2008-2009.  different elements such as types of electronic resources, reading methods, amounts of note taking, amounts of printing and the advantages of using the electronic resources are being discussed. the paper employs descriptive survey research method to answe...

The structure of the active complex in the Ni-catalyzed polymerization of isocyanides to give polyisocyanides is investigated. It is shown by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), including EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) and XANES (X-ray absorption near edge structure), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, to contain a carbene-like ligand. This is the first structural characte...

Lack of patient adherence with eye appointments can decrease ocular outcomes. This prospective, randomized, single-blinded controlled study assessed the effectiveness of multiple interventions in improving follow-up adherence to recommended eye appointments. Patients due for follow-up appointments were randomly assigned to usual care, automated intervention, or personal intervention. Automated-...

Systems pharmacology models capable of accurately recapitulating sophisticated patient phenotypes have enabled the investigation of mechanisms responsible for therapeutic efficacy. Although omics data sets are capable of characterizing the operation of subcellular networks, their utility in mechanistically predicting quantitative, clinically accessible outcome measures has been limited. Develop...
