casimir forces of massive ferrnionic dirac fields are calculated for parallel plates geometry in spatial space with dimension d and imposing bag model boundary conditions. it is shown that in the range of ma>>l where m is mass of fields quanta and a is the separation distance of the plates, it is equal to massive bosonic fields casimir force for each degree of freedom. we argue this equality ex...

the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of melatonin as an antioxidant on spatial navigation memory in male diabetic rats. thirty-two male white wistar rats weighing 200 ± 20 g were divided into four groups, randomly: control, melatonin, diabetic and melatonin-treated diabetic. experimental diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg kg-1 streptozotocin. melatonin...

land-use spatial allocation is a multi-objective collaborative spatial optimization methodfor rational use of the land use. based on global search capabilities and the information feedbackmechanism of ant colony optimization (aco), a land-use spatial allocation model (aco-la) isproposed. firstlyfirst, a construction graph is built for modeling the land-use spatial allocationproblem. secondlysec...

the main objective of this study is to evaluate the spatial effect on fluctuations of trade based on the spatial panel data econometric method and wavelet smoothing using bilateral trade weighted matrix. the negative spatial dependent are estimated. using data from 34 most-important countries the period of 1980-2010 are investigated through spatial model and maximum likelihood estimation method...

This paper outlines a taxonomy of spatial econometric model specifications that incorporate spatial externalities in various ways. The point of departure is a reduced form in which local or global spillovers are expressed as spatial multipliers. From this, a range of familiar and less familiar specifications is derived for the structural form of a spatial regression.

we quantified the distribution, abundance and assemblage structure of macrofauna at 22 stations in gorgan bay, seasonally in 2012-2013. also, depth, temperature, salinity, do, tom and sediment particle size were measured in each station. the highest concentration of tom was measured near the western littoral zone (10.22) while the mouth part and north-eastern area was characterized by the lowes...

drought monitoring is a fundamental component of drought risk management. it is normally performed using various drought indices that are effectively continuous functions of rainfall and other hydrometeorological variables. in many instances, drought indices are used for monitoring purposes. geostatistical methods allow the interpolation of spatially referenced data and the prediction of values...

abstract fluoride (f-) is an essential element for human and some animals. the fluoride concentration in irrigation water is an important index for water quality. the objective of the present study was to determine spatial variability of fluoride in groundwater and soils of some areas in arak plain. therefore, during two seasons, autumn (2007) and the end of spring (2008), 87 and 92 water sampl...

background: the effect of ovariectomy and accompanying sudden loss of circulating gonad hormones on spatial learning performance in the young adult rats was examined. we hypothesized that spatial learning and memory in a considerable number of women who undergo a surgical menopause and estrogen deprivation before their natural menopause be impaired. methods: in this study, we used 26 wistar rat...

background: unsustainable development of human societies, especially in arid and semi-arid areas, is one of the most important environmental hazards that require preservation of groundwater resources, and permanent study of qualitative and quantitative changes through sampling. accordingly, this research attempts to assess and analyze the spatial variation of quantitative and qualitative indica...
