The efficiency of three statistical models, AHP surface-weighted density bivariate (semi-quantitative models), stepwise multivariate regression and logistic multivariate regression models were compared in Chehel-Chai watershed in Golestan province, Iran. In current study the hazard map was prepared according to the top model of landslide hazard map. Chehel-Chai watershed is located as one of Go...

The purpose of this literature review was to identify and describe recent empirical studies of childbirth education outcomes and to identify areas for further study. The search produced 63 studies; only 12 met the inclusion criteria. The literature demonstrated inconclusive evidence regarding the effectiveness of childbirth education. None of the studies used a theoretical framework that propos...

The closer muscle of the crab, Chionoecetes, has at least two classes of excitatory neuromuscular synapses. In one class of synapses an action potential depolarizing the synaptic region releases much more transmitter if it has been preceded recently by another action potential. The other class of synapses shows this property, called facilitation, to a far lesser extent. Immediately after one co...

The var gene encoded hyper-variable Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) family mediates cytoadhesion of infected erythrocytes to human endothelium. Antibodies blocking cytoadhesion are important mediators of malaria immunity acquired by endemic populations. The development of a PfEMP1 based vaccine mimicking natural acquired immunity depends on a thorough understanding...

The Dirac Equation is solved approximately for relativistic generalized Woods-Saxon potential including Coulomb-like tensor in exact pseudospin and spin symmetry limits. bound states energy eigenvalues are found by using wavefunction boundary conditions, corresponding radial wavefunctions obtained terms of hypergeometric function. Some numerical examples given the dependence on quantum numbers ...
