Abstract The whole blood potassium concentration has shown the bimodal distribution in sheep, which has been classified into LK and HK types; HK allele is recessive to LK with a single gene inheritance. This polymorphism showed different behavior in different environment, which could be due to adaptation process. This research was conducted on the Zel and kermani breed research station, which...

AIM We evaluated the aetiological factors, diagnoses and treatment outcomes of adult cases of invagination of the intestine, or intussusception. We elucidated the role of ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT) and other techniques in the diagnosis of such cases. PATIENTS AND METHODS Six patients with sufficient medical data, all of whom were followed-up and treated for intussusceptio...

Federated learning (FL) has attracted increasing attention as a promising approach to driving vast number of end devices with artificial intelligence. However, it is very challenging guarantee the efficiency FL considering unreliable nature while cost device-server communication cannot be neglected. In this paper, we propose SAFA, semi-asynchronous protocol, address problems in federated such l...

identification of genes affecting energy balance, milk yield and feed intake is an interesting area of researches in animal breeding. leptin gene polymorphism is associated with key economic affair. considering rich resources for animals, in our country, accomplishing a few assays to identify a gene that controls her traits with molecular genetics, and identifying the candidate genes in sheep b...

this article is a comparative evaluation of airflow in two kinds of yazdi and kermani wind-towers. in the late decades of twenty century regarding to high population growth rate and energy crisis, vernacular architecture and its passive methods for gaining thermal comfort, has been strongly focused. moreover, a huge scientific movement setup for researches deep in exploring passive cooling and ...
