Iran has suitable conditions for cultivating high-quality varieties of hazelnuts (Corylus avellana L.). Most of hazelnut orchards in Iran have been established by planting native genotypes. Aspergillus flavus Link. (AF) is a filamentous fungus affecting hazelnut kernels in orchards and during storage conditions. The most widely explored strategy for reducing aflatoxin contamin...

      The effects of hydroalcoholic extract (HE) of Curculigo orchioides Gaertn. rhizome (Hypoxidaceae) and its alkaloidal and non-alkaloidal fractions (AF) and (NAF) were evaluated in carrageenan-induced paw edema experimental models of inflammation. The oral administration of HE, their AF and NAF fractions were used at doses of 100, 300 and 500 mg/kg. The effect produced by the HE, A...

It has recently been claimed that many of the discrete time-frequency representations (TFRs), including the alias free generalize time-frequency distributions (AF-GDTFD), contain aliasing components. This paper shows that the class of AF-GDTFD does indeed displace both cross term and auto term energy in ways not characteristic of continuous TFRs, but this energy displacement does not satisfy ou...

Toyama's Theorem states that connuence is a modular property of disjoint term rewriting systems. This theorem does not generalize to combined systems with shared constructors. Thus the question arises naturally whether there are suucient conditions which ensure the modu-larity of connuence in the presence of shared constructors. In particular, Kurihara and Krishna Rao posed the problem whether ...

the most common type of arrhythmia following coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) is atrial fibrillation (af) with an incidence rate of 20-30%. pericardial effusion is one of the etiologic factors of atrial fibrillation occurring after cabg. posterior pericardiotomy (pp) causes the drainage of blood and fluids from the pericardial space into the pleural space leading to a decreased pericardial e...

A diode works for battery charging, as shown in Figure 1 . When we use an RF source excitation, the wiring inductance L matters. Let us consider how affects turn-on and -off operation. The voltage xmlns:xlink="htt...

Background: The present study investigated the effects of lead nitrate on the histo-cytological changes in the corpuscles of Stannius (CS) of Heteropneustes fossilis. Methods: Catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis were subjected to 657.6 mg/L and 164.4 mg/L of lead nitrate for 96 h and 28 days, respectively. Blood from fish was collected on 24, 48, 72 and 96 h in short-term and after 7, 14, 21, an...

Introduction: New generation oral anticoagulants (NOACs), which selectively and reversibly block the activity of clotting factor Xa, are now preferred as first-line therapy for preventing ischemic stroke in treatment atrial fibrillation (AF). Edoxaban, one these NOACs, has been shown to be effective warfarin or systemic embolism, while carrying a lower risk bleeding cardiovascular death. Mean p...

This paper presents an empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based adaptive filter (AF) for channel estimation in OFDM system.  In this method, length of channel impulse response (CIR) is first approximated using Akaike information criterion (AIC). Then, CIR is estimated using adaptive filter with EMD decomposed IMF of the received OFDM symbol. The correlation and kurtosis measures are used to sel...
