In this paper, a simulation experiment has been developed to examine the combined influence of the design, inventory and environmental factors on the cost performance of a rolling horizon master production schedule. Specifically, a 2 5 factorial design was used to examine the effects associated with three rolling sched... |
Abstract On the one hand, termination analysis of logic programs is now a fairly established research topic within the logic programming community. On the other hand, non-termination analysis seems to remain a much less attractive subject. If we divide this line of research into two kinds of approaches, dynamic versus ... |
The MTR can be considered as representative of the quality of the anchorage of a cylindrical implant. We present preliminary investigations in the patients of our "External Fixation Clinic." The quality of the anchorage of the pins may decrease according to the duration of implantation. Appreciation of clinical looseni... |
This study demonstrates that legal effectiveness may depend on how an individual perceives him/herself as a competent user of law. The hypotheses tested in this study are that the self-perceptions of people may be more important for legal effectiveness than are the objective factors such as law enforcement agencies and... |
The use of biologic markers in the evaluation of borderline personality disorder (BPD) patients is reviewed. Many patients with Axis II BPD have coexisting Axis I diagnoses of which depression is the most commonly reported. Biologic markers have not aided in the diagnosis of BPD, but some markers, particularly EEG slee... |
Prophylactic effect of itraconazole (ITCZ) in mycosis associated with hematological malignancy was studied.

The same morphogenetic signals are often involved in the development of different organs. For developing skin appendages, a model for tissue-specific regulation of signaling is provided by the EDA pathway, which accesses the otherwise ubiquitous NF-κB transcription factors. EDA signaling is mediated by ectodysplasin, E... |

A procedure for direct determination of trace elements in muscle tissue of hairtail was developed using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry and electrothermal vaporization with slurry sampling. Due to use of polytetrafluoroethylene as the chemical modifier, the vaporization behaviors of analytes fro... |
The continuous wavelet transform is a new approach to the problem of time-frequency analysis of signals such as EEG and is a promising method for EEG analysis. However, it requires a convolution integral in the time domain, so the amount of computation is enormous. In this study, we propose a fast wavelet transform whi... |

We investigate the multi-resonance coupling of inverted quadrangular frustum pyramid (IQFP) groove metal arrays at terahertz frequencies. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and groove resonance are induced, resulting in resonance coupling. The dipole of the groove resonance drives the quadrupole of the SPR and creates... |
It is well understood that women’s work situations are critical to their well-being during pregnancy and in terms of potential risks to the fetus. It has also long been known that undocumented women workers face particularly difficult work conditions and being undocumented precludes access to key social benefits (i.e. ... |
A Point-of-Interest (POI) refers to a specific location that people may find useful or interesting. In modern cities, a large number of POIs emerge, grow, stabilize for a period, then finally disappear. The stages (e.g., emerge and grow) in this process are called lifetime statuses of a POI. While a large body of resea... |
[14C]Menaquinone-4 was administered orally once daily at a dose of 4 mg/kg for ten days to female rats of different ages to determine its blood and tissue distribution with particular attention to its distribution in bone. Animals aged 10 and 30 months were either ovariectomized or sham-operated as a control, and young... |
The neurotransmitter (S)-glutamate [(S)-Glu] is responsible for most of the excitatory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. The effect of (S)-Glu is mediated by both ionotropic and metabotropic receptors. Glutamate receptor agonists are generally α-amino acids with one or more stereogenic centers due to str... |
A 37-year-old man presented with a one-month history of pruritic skin lesions on his trunk, back and legs. The lesions first appeared in his right lumbar area, resembling a medallion, becoming widespread over two weeks with newer, smaller lesions over his trunk and right leg. His medical history and systemic examinatio... |
NSAIDs-induced dyspepsia occurs in 10 to 30% of patients treated with NSAIDs, leading to discontinuation of treatment in 5 to 15%. Gastrointestinal tolerability of COX-2 selective inhibitors is better than for non-selective NSAIDs. Helicobacter pylori infection does not influence gastrointestinal tolerability of NSAIDs... |
The pathophysiology and timecourse of impairment in cutaneous microcirculatory function and structure remain poorly understood in diabetics, partly due to the lack of investigational tools capable of directly imaging and quantifying the microvasculature in vivo. We applied a new optical coherence tomography (OCT) techn... |
The peripubertal period in the female rat is the time when the stimulatory effects of opioids on prolactin (PRL) secretion develop. In the adult rat, the administration of chronic high-dose morphine has been shown to attenuate the ability of opiates to stimulate PRL secretion. One function of PRL in adult virgin rats i... |
Part V of the Review analyses adaptation as a response to climate change. Climate is a pervasive factor in social and economic development – one so universally present and so deeply ingrained that it is barely noticed until things go wrong. People are adapted to the distinct climate of the place where they live. This i... |
