Three subspecies of Mus musculus have been recognized in Iran so far. The house mouse (genus0T 0T2TMus2T, species0T 0T2TMus musculus2T) are recognized for their highly conserved morphology and chromosomal structure, but some chromosomal characters offer accurate taxonomic markers in this species that has been shown any unambiguous diagnostic morphological traits. Among the chromosomal character...

The flipped classroom is an educational strategy about inverting the traditional use of in-class time for conducting lower-level learning activities and out-of-class time for conducting higher-level learning activities. Guided social inquiry learning (GSIL), which is a scaffolded constructivist pedagogic approach, has been conventionally adopted in learning and teaching of Liberal Studies (a “y...

To determine seed storage protein banding patterns in some bread wheat cultivars and the similarity of banding patterns among different cultivars, an experiment based on seed storage protein electrophoresis (albumin and globulin) was performed. Water and salt soluble proteins were extracted in sixteen wheat cultivars using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and banding pattern was obtained. Stu...

Objectives: We evaluated the efficacy of balloon dilatation after bilateral pulmonary artery banding for the treatment of severe congenital heart disease that depends on patent ductus arteriosus for systemic circulation. Background: Neonatal cardiopulmonary bypass can cause brain injury, which may result in a severely impaired neurodevelopmental outcome. Hence, we perform bilateral pulmonary ar...

Constitutive heterochromatin (HC = C-banding) distribution was studied in pig (Sus 5crofa) chromosomes from 20 animals belonging to Cinta Senese and Calabrese breeds raised in southern Italy. The use of CBG-banding, sequential GBG/CBA-banding and sequential GBG/ AgNOR/CBA-banding techniques allowed more detailed characterization of C-banding patterns in pig chromosomes (SSC). The following feat...

This paper proposes a multitoning method based on threshold modulation using a Modified Jointly Blue Noise Mask (MJBNM) to reduce banding artifacts. Since banding artifacts appear as uniform dot distributions around the intermediate output levels, such halftone patterns result in discontinuity and a visually unpleasing output in smooth transition regions. Therefore, to reduce these banding arti...
