Multicellular glial calcium waves may locally regulate neural activity or brain energetics. Here, we report a diffusion-driven astrocytic signal in the normal, intact brain that spans many astrocytic processes in a confined volume without fully encompassing any one cell. By using 2-photon microscopy in rodent cerebellar cortex labeled with fluorescent indicator dyes or the calcium-sensor protei...

The current geological and tectonic setting of Iran is due to the ongoing convergence between the Arabian and Eurasian Plates, which resulted in the formation of the Iranian plateau, mountain building, extensive deformation and seismicity. The Iranian plateau is characterized by various domains including the continental collision and the oceanic plate seduction. Based on S receiver functions ar...

The production of primordial black hole (PBH) dark matter (DM) and the generation scalar induced secondary gravitational waves by using enhancement mechanism with a peak function in non-canonical kinetic term S-dual inflation is discussed. We show explicitly that power spectrum for curvature perturbation can be enhanced at 10<sup>12</sup>Mpc<sup>-1</sup>, 10<sup>8&...

How does the physics community deal with the subsequent work of a scientist whose earlier work has been regarded as incorrect? An interesting case of this involves Joseph Weber whose claim to have observed gravitational waves was rejected by virtually all of the physics community, although Weber himself continued to defend his work until his death in 2000. In the course of this defense Weber ma...

globalization and democracy have become the most debated issues throughout the world, which, no doubt also influence iran. this paper highlights these phenomena with respect to iran but takes up the issue through various description and features presented by the con-temporary socio- political thinkers and economists. considering globalization, although the subject matter is very recent but iran...

Linear relativistic anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic waves are investigated for an Imperfect fluid. Consideration is carried out for the plasma with finite bulk viscosity. Conditions for growth and decay of these waves are obtained in special cases of isotropy and ChewGoldberger-Low (CGL) state.

We analyze the high energy scattering inside gravitational backgrounds using ’t Hooft’s formalism. The scattering is equivalent to geodesic shifts accross Aichelburg-Sexl waves inside the gravitational backgrounds. We find solutions for A-S waves inside various backgrounds and analyze them.
