Let β(G) and Γ(G) be the independence number and the upper domination number of a graphG, respectively. A graph G is called Γ-perfect if β(H) = Γ(H), for every induced subgraph H of G. The class of Γ-perfect graphs generalizes such well-known classes of graphs as strongly perfect graphs, absorbantly perfect graphs, and circular arc graphs. In this article, we present a characterization of Γ-per...

Fluid–structure interactions of non-circular prisms are significance from a scientific and practical viewpoint. In this paper, we present new experimental observation flow-induced vibrations associated spectral characteristics transversely oscillating D-section prism at an angle attack ? varying 0° to 180°, where = 180° represent the configuration with upstream curved flat part, respectively. T...

Stress during early life can cause disease and cognitive impairment in humans and non-humans alike. However, stress and other environmental factors can also program developmental pathways. We investigate whether differential exposure to developmental stress can drive divergent social learning strategies between siblings. In many species, juveniles acquire essential foraging skills by copying ot...

This paper evaluates the effect of slot existence with limited length between flanges and web junction of I-shaped beams at the region of moment connections on vertical force and shear stress distribution in beam flanges and web at connection section in comparison with classical theory of stress distribution. The main purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficiency of the slot in connect...

purpose: superior oblique palsy is a common cause of paralytic strabismus. this disorder causes diplopia, head posture and facial asymmetry. this retrospective study reviews patient with superior oblique (so) palsy operated at labbafinejad medical center from 1997 to 2007. methods: in this descriptive study, records of patients with so palsy scheduled for surgery were reviewed. forced duction t...

objective(s): there are many reports about the role of rostral ventromedial medulla (rvm) in modulating stress-induced analgesia (sia). in the previous study we demonstrated that temporal inactivation of rvm by lidocaine potentiated stress-induced analgesia. in this study, we investigated the effect of permanent lesion of the rvm on sia by using formalin test as a model of acute inflammatory pa...

Aims. To report outcomes of the simultaneous surgical correction of vertical rectus paralysis combined with moderate-to-large angle horizontal strabismus. Methods. If a preoperative forced duction test was positive, antagonist muscle weakening surgery was performed, and then augmented partial rectus muscle transposition (APRMT) + partial horizontal rectus recession-resection was performed 2 mon...
