BACKGROUND Due to importance and fatal affect of Red-back spiders, Latrodectus hasselti, a faunistic survey for presence of this spider in Bandar Abbas has been conducted. This animal is considerably the most medically importance spiders all over the world. METHODS Live adult spider specimens were collected from Bandar Abbas town using hand catch conventional method and transferred to the lab...

In this paper the efficiency of the method of Least Squares Harmonic Estimation (LS-HE) for detecting the main tidal frequencies is investigated. Using this method, the tidal spectrum of the sea level data is evaluated at two tidal stations: Bandar Abbas in south of Iran and Workington on the eastern coast of the UK. The amplitudes of the tidal constituents at these two tidal stations are not t...

BACKGROUND Limited data on a short series of patients suggest that lymphocytic enteritis (classically considered as latent coeliac disease) may produce symptoms of malabsorption, although the true prevalence of this situation is unknown. Serological markers of coeliac disease are of little diagnostic value in identifying these patients. AIMS To evaluate the usefulness of human leucocyte antig...

Mottled ducks Anas fulvigula are nonmigratory and primarily depend on habitats associated with coastal marshes of the Gulf Coast for their entire life cycle. Much of remaining available coastal marsh habitats of the Texas Gulf Coast are managed by state and federal agencies. The Texas Gulf Coast breeding population of mottled ducks has recently declined dramatically. To aid in development of ma...

Armoring shorelines to prevent erosion is a long-standing global practice that has well-documented adverse effects on coastal habitats and organisms. A relatively new form of shoreline protection, referred to as hybrid stabilization, incorporates created marsh in combination with a stabilizing structure such as a low-profile stone sill and is being implemented in many US coastal states as a mea...

—Little is known about the population status of many marsh-dependent birds in North America but recent efforts have focused on collecting more reliable information and estimates of population trends. As part of that effort, a standardized survey protocol was developed in 1999 that provided guidance for conducting marsh bird surveys throughout North America such that data would be consistent amo...

In this paper, we present some common fixed point theorems for four maps in partially ordered partial metric spacess. Our results generalize the main theorems of Abbas, Nazir and Radenović [1].

background recent guidelines have proposed that there is a correlation between tissue transglutaminase (ttg) antibody titers and degrees of duodenal biopsy, and that duodenal biopsy can be omitted in some patients with high levels of ttg antibody. using data of registered patients in a gastrointestinal clinic we aimed to assess the correlation between tissue transglutaminase antibody with duode...

News anti-malarial measures would deliver benefits of more than US$ 400 billion, according to the report. Dr Fatoumata Nafo-Traore, director of WHO's Roll Back Malaria Department , said she was quite happy to see malaria ranked as it was. " The panel acknowledged that malaria prevention and treatment have a high benefit–cost ratio. Their proposal would make a huge difference. From our viewpoint...
