In this paper we are concerned with fully nonlinear uniformy elliptic operators with a superlinear gradient term. We look for local estimates, such as weak Harnack inequality and local Maximum Principle, and their extension up to the boundary. As applications, we deduce ABP type estimates and weak Maximum Principles in general unbounded domains, a strong Maximum principle and a Liouville type t...

objective(s): there is controversial evidence about the effect of methamphetamine (meth) on spatial memory. we tested the time- dependent effects of meth on spatial short-term (working) and long-term (reference) memory in meth –sensitized and withdrawn rats in the morris water maze. materials and methods: rats were sensitized to meth (2 mg/kg, daily/5 days, sc). rats were trained in water maze ...

recent attitude of vegetation assessors is using of new ecologic approaches to evaluate and analyse the complex rangeland ecosystems. plant diversity is the most important indices to assess the ecological changes of rangelands. in order to survey of plant indices of rangelands, two exclosure areas (long-term and mid-term) and a grazing area in rangelands of javaherdeh (ramsar, iran) were select...

abstract consistent decreasing and increasing of temperature in the short-term period that is called freezing and thaw cycles is one of the important factors of damage to crop productions. in this research as to determine freezing and thaw cycles in the khorasan razavi province, the data of daily minimum and maximum temperatures of 9 synoptic stations was used over 20 statistic years (1989-2008...

normal full-term infants were followed by serial transcutaneous bilirubinometry over the first week of life. the pattern of physiologic jaundice in our population was similar to that shown for white infants. mean maximum bilirubin peak was seen on day four of life and was also similar to that shown for american white infants. the incidence of non physiologic hyperbilirubinemia defined as 2 sd a...

Estimation of the height of caved and fractured zones above a longwall panel along with the stability conditions of the goaf area are very crucial to determine the abutment stresses, ground subsidence, and face support as well as designing the surrounding gates and intervening pillars. In this work, the height of caving-fracturing zone above the mined panel is considered as the height of destre...
