the effect of dietary terbutaline, a beta adrenergic agonist, on carcass characteristics and blood attributes in 288 japanese quails was studied from 21 through 49 days of age. dietary treatments included four levels of terbutaline [0 (t0), 1 (t1), 3 (t3), and 5 (t5) mg/kg of the diet]. quails were bled at the end of the trial for biochemical assays and the carcass characteristics were then mea...

The “Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS)”, a new approach to ecological classification, was applied to 122 km of the southern intertidal zone of Qeshm Island located the Hormouz Strait - the Persian Gulf. Two components of this model, Surface Geology (SGC) and Biotic Cover (BCC) were used. Considering the extent and geomorphological alternations of the covered area, 12...

O wning Natural resources has been beneficial for some Countries, but hurtful for some others. Optimum management of natural resources in the former group has enhanced economic growth, bad governance, however, has led to Dutch Disease in the latter group. Bad governance in Iran has created Dutch Disease, Rentier State, and Resource Curse, DRR as a characteristic triangle. As the Iran...

The prominence of reciprocal understanding in patient-doctor empathic engagement implies that patient perception of clinician's empathy has an important role in the assessment of the patient-clinician relationship. In response to a need for an assessment tool to measure patient's views of clinician empathy, we developed a brief (5-item) instrument, the Jefferson Scale of Patient Perceptions of ...

In this paper, photodetection properties of a Graphene-based device at the third telecommunication window have been reported. The structure of the device is a Graphene-silicon Schottky junction which has been simulated in the form of an infrared photodetector. Graphene has specific electrical and optical properties which makes this material a good candidate for optoelectronic applications. Phot...

The main objective of this paper is to model and optimize the parallel and relatively complex FuzzyP+FuzzyI+FuzzyD (FP+FI+FD) controller for simultaneous control of the voltage and frequency of a micro-grid in the islanded mode. The FP+FI+FD controller has three parallel branches, each of which has a specific task. Finally, as its name suggests, the final output of the controller is derived fro...

In recent decades, by exploiting the algebraic properties of the Frobenius in positive characteristic, many so-called homological conjectures and intersection conjectures have been established, culminating into the powerful theory of tight closure and big Cohen–Macaulay algebras. In the present article, I give a survey of how these methods also can be applied directly in characteristic zero by ...
