introduction: in the present research, the effect of morphine consumption during pregnancy on the development of the embryo’s spinal cord was studied in wistar rat. methods: female wistar rats (wt: 250-300 g) were mated with males. the test group received morphine (0.01 mg/ml) in their drinking water. pregnant rats were later killed with chloroform on the 12th, 13th and 14th days of pregnancy, ...

Content Management System (CMS) is an information system that allows publishing, editing, modifying content over internet through a central interface. By the evolution of internet and related communication technologies, CMS has become a key information technology (IT) for organizations to communicate with its internal and exterior environment. Just like any other IT projects, the selection of C...

Grey reef sharks (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) can be one of the numerically dominant high order predators on pristine coral reefs, yet their numbers have declined even in the highly regulated Australian Great Barrier Reef (GBR) Marine Park. Knowledge of both large scale and fine scale genetic connectivity of grey reef sharks is essential for their effective management, but no genetic data are y...

In the growing and turbulent market of the current world both in national and in international relations, the need for reviewing and assessment of the resiliency of suppliers as one of the new concepts in supply chain management has been prioritized. In addition, globalization, increasing the regulations of governmental and non-governmental organizations, customers’ request and pressure regardi...

the aim of this paper is to present the prediction model of the transport energy demand in iran. markov chain grey model (mcgm) is proposed to forecast the transport energy demand of iran. then it is compared with grey model (gm) and regression model. moreover, the mcgm forecasting model is used to forecast the annual gasoline demand of iran up to the year 1400. the aim of this paper is to pres...

The performance of an iris recognition system can be undermined by poor quality images and result in high false reject rates (FRR) and failure to enrol (FTE) rates. In this article, a signal to noise ratio (SNR), Grey scale Density, Contrast between sclera and Iris, contrast between iris and pupil quality measure for iris images is proposed. The merit of this approach lies in its ability to dif...

BACKGROUND National Strategic Plans (NSPs) for HIV have become foundational documents that frame responses to HIV. Both Global Fund and PEPFAR require coordination with NSPs as a component of their operations. Despite the role of NSPs in country planning, no rigorous assessment of NSP targets and performance outcomes exists. We performed a quantitative analysis of the quality of NSP indicators ...

Purpose – The relationship between energy consumption (EC) and economic growth is a well-known and more studied subject in literature. In this study, Turkey’s EC and gross domestic product (GDP) relation is analyzed. The aim of this study is to find out the relative importance of energy components on GDP for Turkey. Hence, the authors can make some strategic implications up to the importance of...

According to the urban logistics green degree’s evaluation, a weighted grey correlation analysis method based on the analytic hierarchy process is proposed to determine the weight of each index in the urban logistics green degree evaluation system, and then figure out the optimal relative degree, realizing the green degree of each urban logistics. Finally, an example was given for proving the e...
