bahrain territory is the cradle of one of the oldest civilizations in the middle east where dilmun civilization (bc 5000) once was located; it was the cultural center which granted knowledge to humanity in many subjects, especially famous for literature and religion. still, there is lack of research on the efforts of scientists in this territory regarding practical sciences such as medicine, ph...

In this article we have configured the nested grid WRF v.3.6 model for the Caucasus region. Computations were performed using Grid system GE-01-GRENA with working nodes (16 cores+, 32GB RAM on each). Two particulate cases of unexpected heavy showers were studied. Simulations were performed by two set of domains with horizontal grid-point resolutions of 6.6 km and 2.2 km. The ability of the WRF ...

Higher order chromatin folding is critical to a number of developmental processes, including the regulation of gene expression. Recently developed biochemical techniques such as RNA TRAP and chromosome conformation capture (3C) have provided us with the tools to probe chromosomal structures. These techniques have been applied to the β-globin locus, revealing a complex pattern of interactions wi...

Multiple studies suggest that chromatin looping might play a crucial role in organizing eukaryotic genomes. To investigate the interplay between the conformation of interphase chromatin and its transcriptional activity, we include information from gene expression profiles into a polymer model for chromatin that incorporates genomic loops. By relating loop formation to transcriptional activity, ...

To study natal dispersal and recruitment to the breeding population in Bonelli’s Eagle, two nestlings were tagged with satellite transmitters in the Iberian Peninsula in 2002. Their monthly ranges and distances were computed and fitted to regression models to describe their general trend. One bird, a female, dispersed and settled rapidly in an area which she explored intensively during four yea...

This paper briefly charts the development of accounting during the Industrial Revolution and shows a mirroring of the development of the UK professional accounting bodies. This is used as a platform to consider the efforts made by one of these bodies, CIMA (in its current manifestation) to demarcate territory and establish its position alongside other professional bodies. The main argument of t...

Background: Clinical information about stroke in the vertebrobasilar territory has lagged behind that for anterior circulation syndrome. This is the first report from posterior circulation syndrome registry in Iran. Methods: Consecutive patients with brain infarction in vertebrobasilar territory admitted to Ghaem hospital, Mashhad were enrolled in a prospective study during 2006-2007. Diagnosis...

Efforts to internalize data sharing in research practice have been driven largely by developing international norms that have not incorporated opinions from researchers in lowand middle-income countries. We sought to identify the issues around ethical data sharing in the context of research involving women and children in urban India. We interviewed researchers, managers, and research participa...

Wiebers DO. Duration of cigarette smoking is the strongest pre-dictor of severe extracranial carotid artery atherosclerosis. Response We would like to thank Dr Alpert for his comment on our article, in which we demonstrated that extracranial carotid atherosclerosis is increasing in Japanese patients with brain ischemia. 1 We also reviewed some vascular risk factors possibly related to our findi...

Geoid modelling for India is a complex, exhaustive and continuous task because of its large area and tremendous varieties of surface. This paper reviews available geoid models for Indian Territory developed through geometric, gravimetric and hybrid methods for Northern, Eastern, Southern, and Western regions and presents a summary of further scope for the geoid development in India.
