The aim of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic evaluation of milk lactate dehydrogenase (mLDH) and alkaline phosphatase (mALP) activities by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis curve in early lactation of ewes with subclinical mastitis (SCM) and determine the correlation between number of somatic cell count (SCC) and mLDH and mALP activities. A total of 196 udder ha...

The Sex comb on midleg (Scm) gene encodes a transcriptional repressor of the Polycomb group (PcG). Here we show that SCM protein is nuclear and that its expression is widespread during fly development. SCM protein contains a C-terminal domain, termed the SPM domain, which mediates protein-protein interactions. The biochemical function of another domain consisting of two 100-amino-acid-long repe...

BACKGROUND Attrition is a problem among patients who participate in commercial weight loss programs. One possible explanation is that if patients are unable to reach a weight that they expect to achieve, they may be more likely to drop out of treatment. This study investigated variables associated with attrition among 30 obese patients who completed a liquid meal replacement program (LMR) and e...

سابقه و هدف: گیاه­ پالایی مقرون­ به­ صرفه سازگار با محیط زیست است که در آن گیاه از توانایی‌‌های طبیعی خود برای بازیابی استفاده ‌‌می‌‌‌کند. گیاهان مورد باید توانایی انباشت مقادیر زیادی آلاینده‌‌های فلزی را بدون ایجاد سمیت آنها داشته باشند. امروزه افزایش جمعیت جهان به دنبال توسعه صنایع کارخانه‌‌ها، بر میزان پساب‌‌های وارده غالبا حاوی فلزات سنگین مختلف ‌‌می‌‌‌باشند، افزوده ‌‌می‌‌‌شود. تاثیرات مخرب...

The development of good quality software is a critical element of successful competition for today’s software market shares. However, software products are becoming larger and more complex; therefore, the development of quality software is neither easy nor rapid. Agile software development methods focus on generating early releases of working products. They aim to deliver business value immedia...

Extreme Programming (XP) is becoming popular as a software development method and there is quite a lot of literature describing its philosophy and practices. However, in all of this literature Software Configuration Management (SCM) is almost never mentioned explicitly, leaving XP practitioners with the impression that SCM is not needed and SCM people with the impression that XP is not sound fr...

We have investigated the effects of sulfated chitin derivatives and heparin on the invasion of B16-BL6 melanoma cells through reconstituted basement membrane Matrigel which contains laminin, type IV collagen, heparin sulfate proteoglycan, and entactin. 6-O-sulfated chitin (S-chitin) and 6-O-sulfated and carboxymethyl chitin (SCM-chitin) significantly inhibited the penetration of tumor cells thr...

We have investigated the effects of sulfated chitin derivatives and heparin on the invasion of B16-BL6 melanoma cells through reconstituted basement membrane Matrigel which contains laminin, type IV collagen, heparan sulfate proteoglycan, and entactin. 6-O-sulfated chitin (S-chitin) and 6-O-sulfated and carboxymethyl chitin (SCM-chitin) significantly inhibited the penetration of tumor cells thr...

Separation of concerns is one of the foundational rules of software engineering. Separating the aspects of systems that perform different roles simplifies the code of software systems, making those systems easier to implement, easier to understand, and less prone to bugs. Similarly, software configuration management (SCM) systems are one of the foundational tools of software engineering. SCM to...
