objectives: it is not clear what type of pre-crimped crown is more successful in achieving greater marginal adaptation following re-crimping. this study aimed to assess the changes in the circumference of 3m espe and mib pre-crimped stainless steel crowns (sscs) for the primary maxillary and mandibular first and second molars following re-crimping. materials and methods: this was an in-vitro, e...

the aim of this paper is to assess the adaptation of iran’s energy policies to the kyoto protocol. in the past two decades, iran has experienced a considerable increase in greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions; in 2013 it was the world’s ninth largest emitter. although adapting to this protocol in iran’s energy and climate policies seems vital and urgent, its recent status is not promising. this paper...

eighteen wheat breeding lines were evaluated along with two check cultivars across nine locations of temperate zone of iran during two crop seasons (2003-2004 and 2004-2005). field records were taken for some important traits especially grain yield. combined anova for nine locations in the first season and for seven locations in both seasons was undertaken. in each case, additive main effects a...

background and objective: one way to promote education quality is to evaluate faculty activities by students, departmental heads, and the dean. the degree of correspondence between students' and departmental heads' evaluation shows how honest they are in their assessment. the current paper intends to find the truth.     materials and methods : questionnaires were used to conduct the s...

background:considering the limitation of reports on the translation of research questionnaires, the present study aims to clarify the necessity of correctly conducting the translation process. therefore, it deals with describing the process and the required stages for the cultural adaptation of research instruments in an operational style. consequently, it may provide a platform for researchers...

BACKGROUND Phenolic compounds generated in hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials are major limiting factors for biological production of solvents by Clostridia, but it lacks the attention on the study of adaptation or resistance mechanisms in response to phenolic compounds. RESULTS Gene Cbei_3304, encoding a hypothetical membrane transport protein, was analyzed by bioinformatic method. Afte...

OBJECTIVE Adapting therapeutic practice from traditional face-to-face exchange to remote technology-based delivery presents challenges for the therapist, patient, and technical writer. This article documents the process of therapy adaptation and the resultant specification for the SMART2 project-a technology-based self-management system for assisting long-term health conditions, including chron...
