all of the tea plantations in iran are concentrated in the caspian sea region on soils previously developed under deciduous natural forests. this research conducted to study the effect of land use change (from forest to tea) on selected physico-chemical and mineralogical properties of soils under humid climate and mountainous landscape in northern iran. three transects facing west to northwest ...

OBJECTIVE Bisphosphonates are potent antiresorptive agents used for a spectrum of metabolic bone diseases. The aim of this study was to compare the adverse effects (AEs) of alendronate, etidronate and risedronate prescribed in a non-selected population, attending a single institution on an outpatient basis. DESIGN 849 patients receiving either alendronate (n=710), etidronate (n=181) or risedr...

Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is a major cause of meningitis and pneumonia with high morbidity and mortality rates in young children. The introduction of effective and well-tolerated conjugate Hib vaccines, has nearly eradicated this disease in many countries. We investigated the safety of the Hib PRP-CRM197 vaccine in a multi-center post-marketing surveillance (PMS) study. Korean childre...

introduction due to mining, considerable amounts of heavy metal bearing mineralsare scattered in the atmosphere in the form of dust and make the surrounding air, water and soils polluted.runoff water movingfrom the mountainstowardsplains may also transport heavy metals from mines to the soils.one type ofpollutions is contamination withheavy metals.the purpose of the present research has been to...

The use of lightweight cryptographic algorithms is essential for addressing security in highly constrained environments such as the Internet Things. In this paper, performance block ciphers studied. More precisely, focusing—as a case study—on an important family called “Saturnin”, which has been evaluated candidate standardization relative ongoing NIST’s competition, we analyze its efficiency t...

Building on the agri-environment framework in Central and Eastern Europe, article emphasizes role use of provision different ecosystem services. It shows that relevant conservation measures with regard to ameliorating soil degradation contribute existence sustainable land systems. In our study, we (i) identified what water aggregate means, (ii) reviewed how schemes (AES) function support requir...
