a survey was conducted of physicians in practice, to determine the criteria that would lead the study of a particular condition to be an important component of clerkship training in internal medicine. four such criteria were suggested: the prevalence of the condition in practice, the urgency with which it requires attention, the severity in terms of morbidity and mortality and the cost effectiv...

background : the sequencing batch reactor (sbr) is one of the most widely used systems in sewage treatment because of the simplicity of the process, flexibility of operation in the removal of nutrients, and the ability to be used in different scales. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the sbr in the removal of organic matter (nitrogen and phosphorus) from synthetic wastewat...

Ferula persica, is the well-known species of the genus Ferula in Iran and has two varieties: persica and latisecta. They have both been extensively used in traditional medicine for a wide range of ailments. A great number of chemical compounds including sesquiterpene coumarins and polysulfides have been isolated from this plant. Fresh plant materials, crude extracts and isolated components of F...

to study and determine  effect of salinity on relationship between  agronomic  characteristics and grain yield, 167  of  the  seri/babax recombinant wheat inbred  lines (ril) together with two parents were evaluated using alpha latice design with two replications under two conditions (salt stress and normal), in zabol field station in 2011-12 cropping season. fourteen  traits  including: some a...

background wastewaters with high salt content disturb the metabolic function of microorganisms causing plasmolysis or activity loss in microorganisms, so the efficiency of biological treatment of saline wastewater by conventional microorganisms will decrease. objectives this study aimed to find the outbreak of disorder in the biological wastewater treatment process and how much salt leads to lo...

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode array detection (DAD) and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI/MS/MS) was used to analyze the main components in the methanol extract of Fructus Aurantii (FA) and the metabolites in rat biological samples after oral administration of the methanol extract of FA. There were 31 constituents identified in the extract of FA in...

skin grafting always has been considered a challenging task for the researchers and tissue engineers from its first introduction in 1871 by reverdin. skin substitutes, composed of degradable synthetic or biological components, are being considered as emergency replacements/grafts to the damaged skin. a number of technical developments in this filed have led to development of several skin substi...

a nanofluid is a dilute liquid suspension of particles with at least one critical dimension smaller than ~100 nm. research works so far suggest that nanofluids offer excellent heat transfer enhancement over conventional base fluids. the enhancement depends on several factors such as particle shape, particle size distribution, volume fraction of nanoparticles, temperature, ph, and thermal conduc...
