Article Type: Original Article

The goals of this paper are to assess feasibility of using total concentration (TPC) of phytoliths in modern soils and morphotypes in soil assemblages to infer paleovegetation cover and composition. We sampled from undisturbed grassland sites with different values of shrub and grass cover in the Columbia Basin, interior Pacific Northwest, USA. Phytolith concentration in soils were measured and ...

a new type-ii fuzzy logic based controller for non-linear dynamical systems with application to 3-psp parallel robot

abstract type-ii fuzzy logic has shown its superiority over traditional fuzzy logic when dealing with uncertainty. type-ii fuzzy logic controllers are however newer and more promising approaches that have been recently applied to various fields due to their significant contribution especially when the noise (as an important instance of uncertainty) emerges. during the design of type- i fuz...

Genetics of Type 2 Diabetes- A Review Article

Objective: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) as a complex disease is the result of genetically heterogeneous factors and environmental issues interaction. Linkage and small-scale candidate gene studies were successful in identification of genetic susceptibilities of monogenic form of diseases. However, they were largely unsuccessful while applying to the more common forms of disease. By designing Genome Wi...
