background: transport of the critically ill patient is potentially risky and the transport team should be careful in making decision and be prepared to deal with them in any condition. our physicians are not qualified in safe transport. we want to evaluate the effect of small group teaching method for promotion of physicians' skills in transport of critically ill patients. methods: in an interv...

significant advantages of intermodal and containerized transport have increased the global interest to this mode of transportation. this growing interest is reflected in the annual volume of container cargo growth. however, the container transport inside iran does not have a proper place. comparing the count of containers entering and leaving ports with the statistics obtained from railway and ...

all experiments in this study were carried out in a flume which was located in the hydraulic laboratory of technical faculty in guilan university. the wave flume was 12 m long, 0.5 m wide, 0.5 m high and equipped with a wave-producing system and ultrasonic sensors. the objectives of current experimental study are to investigate sediment transport, bed formation and sustainability of sandy beach...

abstract background: accurate methods of radiation therapy dose calculation. there are different monte carlo codesfor simulation of photons, electrons and the coupled transport of electrons and photons. mcnpis a general purpose monte carlo code that can be used for electron, photon and coupledphoton-electron transport.monte carlo simulation of radiation transport is considered to be one of the ...

the separation of olefin/paraffin mixtures is an important process in petrochemical industries, which is traditionally performed by low temperature distillation with a high-energy consumption, or complex extractive distillationand adsorption techniques. membrane separation process is emerging as an alternative for traditional separation processes with respect to low energy and simple operation....

Bedload transport is an essential component of river dynamics and estimation of its rate is important to many aspects of river management. In this study, measured bedload by Helley- Smith sampler was used to estimate the bedload transport of Kurau River in Malaysia. An artificial neural network, genetic programming and a combination of genetic programming and a neural network were used to estim...

results comparative analysis of predicted amino acids in the phylogenetic tree showed high similarity between c. glabrata and s cerevisiae. besides, c. glabrata demonstrated the capability to grow in glucose levels as low as 0.01% in the spot dilution assay. in qrt-pcr analysis, differential expressions were observed in selected genes when c. glabrata was subjected to different glucose concentr...
