Two groups of Trypanosoma congolense isolates collected from cattle in 1996 (n=39) and 2003 (n=38) in the Eastern Province of Zambia were analyzed by BclI-PCR-RFLP to assess the evolution of diminazene aceturate (DA) resistance over a period of seven years. The results show a significant increase of DA resistance in this relatively short period of time. In 1996, among the 39 isolates, 61.5% wer...

background : anopheles stephensi is a sub-tropical species and has been considered as one of the most important vector of human malaria throughout the middle east and south asian region including the malarious areas of southern iran. current reports confirmed an. stephensi resistance to temephos in oman and india. however, there is no comprehensive research on mechanisms of temephos resistance ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 10-week of endurance training or resistance training on regional and abdominal fat, and in the lipid profile, examining the associations among the changes in body composition, weight, waist circumference and lipid profile. Body composition, waist circumference and lipid profile were analyzed in 26 volunteers healthy young men (age 22.5 ...

Autonomic nervous system function is an important predictor of physical fitness. The objective this study was to find out the associations autonomic activity parameters, lipid profile, insulin concentrations, and resistance in overweight men with level activity. A descriptive correlational carried 28 men: 14 physically active (PA) inactive (PI). following variables were assessed: Level activity...

Background and Objective: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections in children. Arbitrary use of antibiotics has increased the resistant strains and transmits these resistant factors to other pathogens. Therefore, this study was designed to follow the resistance trend in 9-years in children with urinary tract infections referred to the Amirkola Children's hospital (Nor...

Pulse-receiving characteristics such as bandwidth, sensitivity, and fidelity of several V-dipole antennas loaded with a nonreflecting resistance profile are analyzed, taking into account the effect of parameters such as the linear resistance at the feed point, the interior angle of the V-antenna, and the terminal resistance load.

the increasing incidence of candidiasis and antifungal resistance as well as the introducing of new antifungal has recently encouraged performing of fungal susceptibility testing. the aim of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility profile of candida species isolated from patients admitted to yazd central laboratory to fluconazole. we used the broth microdilution method to evaluate the sus...

Anisotropic conductive film (ACF) has been used for flip chip interconnection of a silicon based MEMS finger print sensor to a signal processing ASIC. The assembled sensor device was subjected to a short term high temperature profile with peak temperature 260 C simulating subsequent reflow soldering of the device, and to thermal shock cycling from -40 to +85 C. The reliability of interconnect...
