Bam Project started suddenly after the earthquake on December 26, 2003, that collapsed an important cultural heritage in south-east Iran, Citadel of Bam. This paper briefly summarizes our nearly eight years of effort for post-disaster reconstruction of Bam Citadel. The paper starts with the framework of the project that consists of architectural process and conceptual process and we discuss the...

Cell-based microarrays are emerging as a tool for analyzing the functions of genes in cells. However, partly due to the difficulty of cell immobilization, the application of this method has been limited to adherent cells. We previously reported a method that rapidly and strongly attached living nonadherent cells to glass slides modified with a cell membrane anchoring reagent, designated a bioco...

We report the successful growth of BaFe12O19–BaTiO3 (BaM-BTO) bilayer thin films using pulsed laser deposition, considering different crystallographic textures; BTO on (0001)-BaM and BaM (100)-BTO. Our study involved bilayers, individual ferrite titanate films, targets used in their growth. Raman spectroscopy X-Ray diffraction were to examine structure BaM-BTO indicating that there is no format...

Background & Aims: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a health problem in the world, including Iran. The objective of this study was to assess the epidemiology of CL and determination of the causative parasite species in the city and suburb of Mohammadabad, Jiroft district. Method: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was performed in census manner. Diagnosis was based on direct smear micros...

Soil organic matter mineralization changed by land-use types is still not clearly understood. In this study, soils from typical including adjacent plantations of bamboo (Bam), camphor (Cam), and tea (Tea) were chosen to systematically investigate the role carbon components microbial community compositions in Ultisol. The followed sequence Bam < Cam Tea. higher contents labile pools Tea than ...

Although detecting communities in networks has attracted considerable recent attention, estimating the number of is still an open problem. In this paper, we propose a model, which replicates generative process mixed-membership stochastic block model (MMSB) within generic allocation framework Bayesian (BAM) and BAM-MMSB. contrast to traditional blockmodels, BAM-MMSB considers observations as Poi...

Bovine alveolar macrophages (BAM) were examined for the expression of beta-defensins and to determine whether their expression could be upregulated by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), as observed with beta-defensins expressed in bovine tracheal epithelial cells. Four beta-defensins were expressed constitutively in BAM, with bovine neutrophil beta-defensin (BNBD)-4 and BNBD-5 being the most p...

In adult stem cell lineages, progenitor cells commonly undergo mitotic transit amplifying (TA) divisions before terminal differentiation, allowing production of many differentiated progeny per stem cell division. Mechanisms that limit TA divisions and trigger the switch to differentiation may protect against cancer by preventing accumulation of oncogenic mutations in the proliferating populatio...

The possibility of using sendust (FeAlSi) as the soft magnetic underlayer for hexagonal barium ferrite (BaM) and strontium ferrite (SrM) was studied. Sendust films were found to retain their soft magnetic properties with a rapid thermal anneal (RTA) at 800 C for 60 s, which is necessary to crystallize the as-deposited amorphous BaM and SrM films. Several film structures with sendust films as th...

Air quality has been a global problem for several decades and had approaches its mitigation, analysis quantification. There are ways methods to quantify primary secondary air pollutants. Therefore, the objective of this research was determine, through SEM-EDS analysis, elemental chemical characterization morphology compounds present in tapes PM10 BAM (Beta Attenuation Mass Monitor) equipment fr...
