In the 1930s, when the British ruled the country, Jawaharlal Nehru described India's situation as follows: "A servile state, with its splendid strength caged up, hardly daring to breathe freely, governed by strangers from afar; her people poor beyond compare; shortlived and incapable of resisting disease and epidemic; illiteracy rampant; vast areas devoid of all sanitary or medical provision; u...

the aim of this study was to compare the effects of three types of balancetraining: single task, dual task under fixed priority instructional set (fp) and dualtask under a variable priority instructional set (vp) on the balance of the elderly.the participants were 36 elderly over 65 years old from kerman province whowere randomly divided into three groups (each 12 subjects) based on burg pretes...

Given two n-bit (cyclic) binary strings, A and B, represented on a circle (necklace instances). Let each sequence have the same number k of 1’s. We are interested in computing the cyclic swap distance between A and B, i.e., the minimum number of swaps needed to convert A to B, minimized over all rotations of B. We show that, given the compressed representation of A and B, this distance may be c...

This paper tests a model based on Wall's (Wall, L., 1989. Journal of Banking and Finance 13, 261±270) hypothesis of agency cost reduction using interest rate swaps. We ®nd a signi®cant positive relationship between the risk of the ®rm and the reduction of agency costs measured by the continuously compounded excess return (CAR) of the ®rm. Our ®ndings are consistent with WallÕs hypothesis and ot...

background: a few studies have investigated the effect of the activation mode of adhesive systems on bond strength of fi ber posts to root canal dentin. this study investigated the push-out bond strengths of a glass fi ber post to different root canal regions with the use of two adhesives with light- and dual-cure polymerization modes. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 40 maxillary...

conclusion ped software of dual-source ct combined with perfusion imaging can significantly improve the detection rate of peripheral pulmonary embolism. results ctpa images revealed 50 (7.81%) segmental and 56 (4.38%) sub-segmental pulmonary embolisms, while the ped images showed 68 (10.63%) segmental and 94 (7.34%) sub-segmental pulmonary embolisms. thus, the detection rate on ped images for p...
