Caspian kutum fish (Rutilus frisii) wild broodstocks were caught by gillnet during their upstream migration and subjected to short-time confinement stress and their physiological responses have been examined. Thirty fish (average weight of 1217.6 g) were divided into three experimental groups CO (control), OV (ovaprim) and CO+OV (cortisol+ovaprim) and placed into rearing tanks (10 fish tank-1; ...

the aim of this paper is to introduce and study a new concept of strong double δ ( a ) σ -convergence sequences with respect to an orlicz function, and some properties of the resulting sequencespaces were also examined. in addition, we define the δ ( a ) σ -statistical convergence and establish someconnections between the spaces of strong double δ ( a ) σ -convergence sequences and the space of...

A group of 59 workers (41 men and 18 women) employed in swine confinement areas was studied to assess the presence of acute and chronic respiratory symptoms and the prevalence of abnormalities in ventilatory function. A control group of 46 (31 men and 15 women) unexposed workers was studied for the prevalence of chronic respiratory symptoms. For both male and female swine confinement workers co...

the concept of ${mathscr{f}}_{st}$-fundamentality is introduced in uniform spaces, generated by some filter ${mathscr{f}}$. its equivalence to the concept of ${mathscr{f}}$-convergence in uniform spaces is proved. this convergence generalizes many kinds of convergence, including the well-known statistical convergence.

Ground settlement is often the most serious concern when tunneling under an old city with numerous historic monuments. A successful engineering design under these conditions would require getting the most out of the ground strength parameters and avoiding any weakening maneuver throughout the operation. Knowing that surface settlement is highly affected by tunneling parameters in EPB shield tun...

convergence hypothesis is one of the results of neoclassical growth model, which has been examined recently. this hypothesis has two forms of absolute and conditional beta-convergence and implies that regions with lower per capita output have higher per capita growth rates. since there is no data for regional gdp in iran, there has been n study to test convergence hypothesis in iran. our main c...

We propose a numerical method for maintaining a dynamic rolling motion of animated gaseous phenomena, such as smoke, that avoids dissipation due to numerical error. We compensate for the errors induced by a semi-Lagrangian scheme using an error estimate for each time interval. We develop a new advection term and perform vortex advection based on a vorticity confinement force. Example simulation...

Quark confinement in MSSM QCD as a consequence of supersymmetry and instanton effects. Abstract It is shown, that instanton effects naturally produce quark confinement in MSSM QCD. The confinement scale, calculated from the first principles, is in a good agreement with the experimental data. The proposed explanation is quite different from the dual Higgs mechanism.

We review lattice evidence for the vortex mechanism of quark confinement and study the influence of charged matter fields on the vortex distribution. 1 Review of the vortex mechanism of quark confinement In the early days of QCD some people argued that quarks are confined due to the non-abelian nature of gauge-fields leading to attraction between flux-lines. But the abelian U(1) lattice gauge t...
