The paper presents a, relatively complete proof system for proving the validity of temporal properties of reactive programs. The presented proof system improves on previous temporal systems, such as [MPS3a] and [MP83b]? in that it reduces the validity of progra,m properties into pure assertional reasoning, not involving additional tempora,l rea.soning. The proof system is based on the classific...

abstract background prevention of myocardial siderosis is a key step to reduce rate of mortality in thalassemic patients. our objective was to study association between echocardiography parameters and serum ferritin level in patients with major thalassemia. materials and methods sixty-six patients with major thalassemia were studied in amir kabir hospital, arak, iran. serum ferritin levels were...

Gene silencing by RNA interference is a particularly important tool in the study of gene function in polyploid cereal species for which the collections of natural or induced mutants are very limited. Previously we have been testing small interfering RNA-based approach of gene silencing in wheat and triticale. In this research, artificial microRNAs (amiRs) were studied in the same species and th...
