iodine deficiency is the most important preventable cause of mental deficiency. the aim of this study was to specify the phase during fetal and postnatal development when iodine supplementation would have optimum effect on the prevention of brain damage. materials and methods forty schoolchildren aged 7-13 years, from the previously iodine deficient villages of kiga and randan, were divided int...

In order to determine the occurrence of endometriosis in patients with uterine myoma and in those with polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) compared to controls, 540 infertile patients were fIrst divided into two age groups of 20-29 and 30-39. Then each group was subdivided to patients with 1) uterine myoma, 2) PCOD, and 3) no uterine myoma or PCOD (control subgroup). The occurrence of endomet...

in this paper we give a characterization for all semigroups whose square is a group. moreover, we axiomatize such semigroups and study some relations between the class of these semigroups and grouplikes,introduced by the author. also, we observe that this paper characterizes and axiomatizes a class of homogroups (semigroups containing an ideal subgroup).  finally, several equivalent conditions ...

in this paper‎, ‎we give a complete proof of theorem 4.1(ii) and a new‎ ‎elementary proof of theorem 4.1(i) in [li and shen‎, ‎on the‎ ‎intersection of the normalizers of the derived subgroups of all‎ ‎subgroups of a finite group‎, ‎ j‎. ‎algebra, ‎323  (2010) 1349--1357]‎. ‎in addition‎, ‎we also give a generalization of baer's theorem‎.

let $g={rm sl}_2(p^f)$ be a special linear group and $p$ be a sylow‎ ‎$2$-subgroup of $g$‎, ‎where $p$ is a prime and $f$ is a positive‎ ‎integer such that $p^f>3$‎. ‎by $n_g(p)$ we denote the normalizer of‎ ‎$p$ in $g$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we show that $n_g(p)$ is nilpotent (or‎ ‎$2$-nilpotent‎, ‎or supersolvable) if and only if $p^{2f}equiv‎ ‎1,({rm mod},16)$‎.

in this paper we find systems of subgroups of a finite‎ ‎group‎, ‎which $bbb p$-subnormality guarantees supersolvability‎ ‎of the whole group‎.
