Isotope data from bulk carbonates, micrite, marine calcite cements, non-skeletal grains and brachiopods indicate deposition of a wide spectrum of warm to cold water carbonates during the Ordovician and the Jurassic. This isotopic interpretation is supported by warm to cold climatic models proposed for the Ordovician and the Jurassic. These carbonates formed during the Greenhouse mode (condition...

Today, the intractions of the immune system of the immune system, nutrition, and nervous system are one of the main research areas of interest in immunology and disease treatment. Due to changes in the mood, behavior, and diet of an individual during fasting period, the body's internal homeostasis is affected. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of Ramadan fasting on lympho...

The excellent preservation of the acritarchs, their great abundance, diversity and good stratigraphic control permit establishment of a detailed Middle and Late Cambrian acritarch biozonation. A total of 56 palynomorph species form the basis of 10 local acritarch assemblage zones. Assemblage zones I-II occur in the lower and middle parts of the Member C of the Mila Formation and suggest Early-m...

The role that design by contract plays in the specification, monitoring, and reuse of classes is of increasing importance in the OO community. Although recognizably useful, nevertheless, because of lack of expressiveness of existing assertion languages, contracts can bring undesirable effects such as the increasing in class coupling when we deal with complex classes. A means of surpassing those...

Introduction: Alexander disease is a heterogenous group of diseases with various manifestations based on age of disease onset. This rare leukodystrophy syndrome with mutations in GFAP Gene could present with developmental delay and seizure in infantile form to ataxia and bulbar palsy in adulthood. However psychiatric symptoms are not well-defined and usually evaluate after disease diagnosis not...

this research was carried out to evaluate the effects of some morphophysiological traits on white sugar yield of 10 commercial sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) varieties. all experiments were conducted in four important sugar beet growing areas in iran, i.e. moghan, khoy, karaj and zarghan in 2006 and 2007. the experiment was arranged as a randomized complete block design with three replications i...

Inspired by the intersection of character, emotions, and logic, much like a Hungarian Rhapsody which is beautifully sad; this paper explores ethos, pathos, and logos in the context of Academic Globalization. As students of the world, an inter-disciplinary language is pivotal for inter-disciplinary communication. Given that the current state of the world stems primarily from miscommunications, i...

calls. In dynamic binding, free variables in a method obtain their values from the environment from which the method is called, rather from the environment in which the method is de ned [Abelson et al. 85]. Functional programming languages prefer static binding, an alternative approach where the de nition environment is used instead of the application environment in the evaluation of a method. ...

The Busemann-Petty problem for an arbitrary measure μ with non-negative even continuous density in R asks whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in R with smaller (n − 1)-dimensional measure μ of all central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller measure μ. It was shown in [Zv] that the answer to this problem is affirmative for n ≤ 4 and negative for n ≥ 5. In this paper we prove an isomo...
