background: infection with non-typhoid salmonella (nts) is one of the most important health problems all over the world. antimicrobial drug resistance is increasing among salmonella infantis species. objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of presence of class 1 integrons in s. infantis species as well as its association with drug resistance. materials and methods: th...

in this paper we give a characterization for all semigroups whose square is a group. moreover, we axiomatize such semigroups and study some relations between the class of these semigroups and grouplikes,introduced by the author. also, we observe that this paper characterizes and axiomatizes a class of homogroups (semigroups containing an ideal subgroup).  finally, several equivalent conditions ...

objective(s): reliability measures precision or the extent to which test results can be replicated. this is the first ever systematic review to identify statistical methods used to measure reliability of equipment measuring continuous variables. this studyalso aims to highlight the inappropriate statistical method used in the reliability analysis and its implication in the medical practice.   m...

abstract the objective of this study is evaluation of government’s optimum combination of policy instruments on per capita consumption of bread and the share of this product in food cost of families in different income classes. the minimization of changes in dead weight loss function is used in this study. by using boot strop method and on base of normal distribution for supply elasticity and d...

let $g$ be a simple graph of order $n$ and size $m$.the edge covering of $g$ is a set of edges such that every vertex of $g$ is incident to at least one edge of the set. the edge cover polynomial of $g$ is the polynomial$e(g,x)=sum_{i=rho(g)}^{m} e(g,i) x^{i}$,where $e(g,i)$ is the number of edge coverings of $g$ of size $i$, and$rho(g)$ is the edge covering number of $g$. in this paper we stud...

hyperspectral sensors provide a large number of spectral bands. this massive and complex data structure of hyperspectral images presents a challenge to traditional data processing techniques. therefore, reducing the dimensionality of hyperspectral images without losing important information is a very important issue for the remote sensing community. we propose to use overlap-based feature weigh...

‎there are a few finite groups that are determined up to isomorphism solely by their order, such as $mathbb{z}_{2}$ or $mathbb{z}_{15}$. still other finite groups are determined by their order together with other data, such as the number of elements of each order, the structure of the prime graph, the number of order components, the number of sylow $p$-subgroups for each prime $p$, etc. in this...
