introduction: a growing number of muslim athletes now engage in international competition. this raises the question of the advice they should be given if a major event occurs during the month of ramadan. methods: a narrative review has been based upon books and extensive reviews completed by the author and other investigators. results: practical considerations hamper assessment of the effects o...

Motivated by channel measurements in different indoor locations we will show that the WLAN indoor MIMO channel is characterized by few dominant transmission paths mainly corresponding to the LOS path and some strong reflections. In the contrary to the common statistical flat Rayleigh fading channel model we will explain that the WLAN channel is widely deterministic and frequency selective. Furt...

Application of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) in adsorption process has been studied for the advanced treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater. Because of entering poisonous compounds such as furfural, phenol and sulfides into the oily wastewater of Tehran refinery, biological aeration basins of wastewater treatment unit may not have the desired performance of COD reductio...

Background & Aims of the Study: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a colorless and highly toxic, easily dissolved in water, flammable and explosive gas. Hydrogen sulfide gas is the main cause of odor emissions from municipal sewage plants. One method for removal of hydrogen sulfide gas is the use of biological systems, biofilter. The aim of this study was to survey removal hydrogen sulfide provide in se...

We exhibit a possible road towards a strong converse for the quantum capacity of degradable channels. In particular, we show that all degradable channels obey what we call a “pretty strong” converse: When the code rate increases above the quantum capacity, the fidelity makes a discontinuous jump from 1 to at most 1 √ 2 , asymptotically. A similar result can be shown for the private (classical) ...

objective: the role of herbs against the free radicals have been put forth recently in combating many diseases. the aim of this study was to elucidate the in vitro capacity and in vivo antioxidant properties of sedimental extract of tinospora cordifolia (setc). materials and methods: setcwas subjected to in vitro chemical analysis such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (dpph), nitric oxide, hydr...
