Background: Persian Gulf is a semi-closed environment which is affected by pollution ‎from heavy metals. Entrance of heavy metals to the water column and binding to ‎sediment particles can affect the benthic organisms that can accumulate these ‎materials in their body. Noticing this ability, mussels are considered as bio-monitoring ‎agents.‎ Methods: The pearl oyster, Pinctada radiate, and sed...

We present a systematic investigation of the accuracy of the various theories and basis sets that can be applied to study the interaction of Cl(-) ions with Ar atoms. It is conclusively shown that gaseous ion mobility can distinguish among theoretical ion-neutral interaction potentials. Based on the conclusions, high-level ab initio potential energy curves are obtained for all of the Cl(-)-RG (...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the role of attentional process in postural control using choice reaction time task while changing the visual and proprioceptive cues under difficult balance task (standing on one-leg). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted by participating 20 young people (22.75±2.29). Each subject performed one-leg standing as balance task for e...

ABSTRACT Most models of the low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) explain dynamical properties those QPOs. On other hand, recent years reverberation that assume a lamp-post geometry have been successful explaining energy-dependent time lags broad-band noise component stellar mass black holes and active galactic nuclei. We recently shown Comptonizati...

Vaccination is the main strategy for preventing influenza infection. However, vaccine efficacy is influenced by several factors, including age and health status. The efficacy of the influenza vaccine is much lower (17% to 53%) in individuals over 65 yr of age compared with young adults (70% to 90%). Therefore, increasing vaccine efficacy remains a challenge for the influenza vaccine field. In t...

In the present review, we describe current knowledge about synthesis of borate crosslinked rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II) and it physiological roles. RG-II is a portion of pectic polysaccharide with high complexity, present in primary cell wall. It is composed of homogalacturonan backbone and four distinct side chains (A-D). Borate forms ester bonds with the apiosyl residues of side chain A of t...

Objectives: The goal of this paper is to introduce the ideas Contra soft generalized** (briefly g**). Continuous functions and almost g**) – in topological spaces. Additionally, we discussed some its characteristics. Methods: To obtain definition contra g**- continuous functions, used previously introduced definition(1) (i.e. inverse image every closed set FQ g**-closed FP). Also, regular open ...

The main objective of this work is to improve the energy-efficiency (EE) of a multiple access channel (MAC) system, through power control, in a distributed manner. In contrast with many existing works on energy-efficient power control, which ignore the possible presence of a queue at the transmitter, we consider a new generalized cross-layer EE metric. This approach is relevant when the transmi...
