abstractthe occurrence of deoxynivalenol (don) in retail foods in tehran (iran) was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography technique and immunoaffinity column as the clean-up step. a method was validated for analysis of don in rice, bread, puffed corn snack and wheat flour. the average recoveries and precision (rsd) for don in different foods ranged 84.2-93.1% and 2.9-12.0%, re...

in this paper, load and buckling mode of a smart column are presented. the theoretical model is a three-layer piezoelectric composite beam that behaves as an axial actuating mechanism. this actuator consists of an elastic core sandwiched between two piezoelectric active outer layers. the piezoelectric layers are polarized transversely, i.e., the polarization vector is parallel to the applied el...

study of the osteological development in fishes is important from fisheries, biology and aquaculture points of views. it can be used as an early bio-indicator of non-optimal rearing conditions. the caspian roach, rutilus caspicus is a native cyprinid fish of the caspian sea that its artificial propagation has fulfilled in hatcheries to recruit its natural stocks. hence, this study was conducted...
