We have obtained a deep i-band image of the blazar 3C 279 while the target was in a low optical state. Due to the faintness of the optical nucleus we have made the first detection of the host galaxy. The host galaxy has an apparent I-band magnitude of 18.4±0.3 and an effective radius of (2.7 ± 1.1) arcsec. The luminosity of the host galaxy MR = -23.8 is consistent with the luminosities of other...

This paper de s c ribes a context based technique for smoothing digital thematic maps produced by multispec tral classification of Landsat Thematic Mapper data . The output of this technique i s a "maplike" product which can be directly used as input to a geographic information system.

the objective of this study was to develop a cost minimizing pattern for cube sugar and sugar transportation from production centers to refinement and storage centers and finally to distribution and consumption  centers in  fars province. producing centers are marvdasht (27.3%), eghlid (27.9%), fasa (11.3%), kavar (7.3%) and mamasani (20.2%). some of the province’s cube sugar and sugar is provi...

Protein arginine methylation is a common posttranslational modification that has been implicated in numerous biological processes including gene expression. The mammalian genome encodes nine protein arginine methyltransferases (Prmts) that catalyze monomethylation, asymmetric dimethylation, and symmetric dimethylation on arginine residues. Protein arginine methyltransferase 7 (Prmt7) is categor...

Tacca chantrieri ANDRÉ is a perennial plant belonging to the family Taccaceae and is indigenous to southeast region of the People’s Republic of China. A decoction prepared from the rhizomes of T. chantrieri has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of gastric ulcer, enteritis, and hepatitis. Our previous chemical studies on the rhizomes of T. chantrieri led to the iso...
