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...

In the beginning a command prompt based C++ application was created to control a Rotary ASRS using a RS232 serial interface. Later by implementing the logic and the functions of the program a new one was created. Using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) a Graphical User Interface (GUI) program was developed to control the robot and to manage its database. The MFC ap...

We study the rack-aware storage system where all nodes are organized in racks and within each rack can communicate freely without taxing bandwidth. Rack-aware regenerating codes (RRCs) were proposed for minimizing repair bandwidth single erasures. In initial setting of RRCs, a node requires participation remaining containing failed as well large number helper no failures. Consequently, may be i...

Using the trend of age-standardized incidence rate of cancers (ASR) is inaccurate for registration with incomplete reporting, especially in developing registries. The relative age-standardized ratio (RASR) is a new measure that takes ascertainment bias of registration into account. RASR is calculated from the ASR for each cancer divided by the ASR for leukemia. Leukemia was chosen as the refere...

A rack, which is the algebraic distillation of two of the Reidemeister moves, is a set with a binary operation such that right multiplication is an automorphism. Any codimension two link has a fundamental rack which contains more information than the fundamental group. Racks provide an elegant and complete algebraic framework in which to study links and knots in 3{manifolds, and also for the 3{...

Miniload automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) is a type of automatic storage and retrieval system that handles loads that are typically contained in small containers or totes, with load weights typically falling in the100 to 500 lb. In this paper, the open-rack structure with unidirectional-upward mobile loads within the rack is applied in miniload AS/RS, in which the stacker crane ...
