Abstract BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of Echinococcus granulosus in the definitive host particularly in dog is the significant complication in the endemic area. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is serological detection of E. granulosus in the infected dogs. METHODS: Dot-ELISA based on the copro-antigen and recombinant EPC1 antigen (rEPC1) for antibody detection was performed. Blood and fecal samples ...

The relation between super-Virasoro anomaly and super-Weyl anomaly in N = 1 NSR superstring coupled with 2D supergravity is investigated from canonical theoretical view point. The WZW action canceling the super-Virasoro anomaly is explicitly constructed. It is super-Weyl invariant but nonlocal functional of 2D supergravity. The nonlocality can be remedied by the super-Liouvlle action, which in ...

abstract soilless culture of greenhouse vegetables has been a fast developing section in iran during recent years. most growers use hydroponics systems with artificial substrates. some of the used substrates have low water retention which results in wasting a great deal of solution. on the other hand, low vigor of cucumber root in water and fertilizer absorption, especially in low media tempera...

sulfur mustard (sm) has been identified as an important chemical weapon. during the iran-iraq war of 1980-88, the extensive usage of sm against iranian civilians and military forces was proven. this agent has been shown to cause severe damage mainly in the skin, eyes, lungs,  and  respiratory  tract  in  iranian  veterans.  the  most  common  disease  is bronchiolitis obliterans (bo)). sm incre...

Super symmetry is a type of matrix-based symmetry that extends the concept of total symmetry. Super symmetric functions are “even more symmetric” than totally symmetric functions. Even if a function is not super symmetric, the super symmetric transpose matrices can be used to detect partial super symmetries. These partial symmetries can be mixed arbitrarily with ordinary symmetric variable pair...

background: anaphylactic reactions, such as urticaria, edema, respiratory symptoms, and anaphylactic shock often complicate the course of cystic echinococcosis (ce). methods: to investigate the role of the ige immunoreactive antigen 5 (ag 5) in the sero-positive patients with ce, we determined n-terminal of 57 kda subunit of ag5 responsible for ige and c-terminal of this active antigen related ...

Super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA) model is obtained when a decision making unit (DMU) under evaluation is excluded from the reference set. Because of the possible infeasibility of super-efficiency DEA model, the use of super-efficiency DEA model has been restricted to the situations where constant returns to scale (CRS) are assumed. It is shown that one of the input-oriented and ...
