autosomal dominant congenital cataract (adcc) is the most common form of inherited cataracts and accounts for one-third of congenital cataracts. heterozygous null mutations in the crystallin genes are the major cause of the adcc. this study aims to detect the mutational spectrum of four crystallin genes, cryba1/a3 , crybb1 , crybb2 and crygd in an iranian family. genomic dna was isolated from w...

An experimental study is conducted on three ½ scales, single-story, single-bay, frame specimens. The first specimen was a reinforced concrete frame with solid-brick infill. The second specimen was a reinforced concrete frame with hollow clay perforated-brick infill. The last specimen was a reinforced concrete frame without any infill. These three specimens were tested by pseudostatic method. Di...

in this paper, we define and study the notion of the real-valued functions on a frame $l$. we show that $f(l) $, consisting of all frame homomorphisms from the power set of $mathbb{r}$ to a frame $ l$, is an $f$-ring, as a generalization of all functions from a set $x$ into $mathbb r$. also, we show that $f(l) $ is isomorphic to a sub-$f$-ring of $mathcal{r}(l)$, the ring of real-valued continu...

We use an experiment to examine whether the way in which climate change is framed affects individuals' beliefs about its importance as a policy issue. We employ frames that emphasize national security, human rights, and environmental importance about the consequences of climate change. We find no evidence that issue frames have an overall effect on opinions about the importance of climate chang...
