b ackground : the emergence and rapid spread of metallo-beta-lactamase (mbl) producing acinetobacter spp. are of great concern worldwide due to limited treatment options. epidemiologic studies of the causing genes are important for prevention. methods :   in  this  study,  70  imipenem-resistant  acinetobacter  strains  were isolated from health care associated infections. these isolates were s...

Abstract β-thalassemia major (β –TM) is the most common thalassemia severe phenotype among Iranians. In recent years, molecular understanding of pathogenesis of β –TM has provided a great opportunity regarding diagnostic issues. Creating comprehensive molecular databases provides highly sensitive diagnostic tools for β –TM and effective prenatal diagno...

We investigate the localization transition for a simple model of interface which interacts with an inhomonegeous defect plane. The is modeled by graph function $\phi: \mathbb Z^2 \to Z$,and disorder given fixed realization field IID centered random variables$(\omega_x)_{x\in Z^2}$. Hamiltonian system depends on three parameters $\alpha,\beta>0$ and $h\in R$ determine respectively intensity near...

This is the first paper in a series to develop linear and nonlinear theory for elliptic parabolic equations on Kahler varieties with mild singularities. Donaldson has established Schauder estimate complex Monge-Ampere when background metrics $\mathbb{C}^n$ have cone singularities along smooth hypersurface. We prove sharp pointwise metric $g_\beta= \sqrt{-1} ( dz_1 \wedge d\bar{z_1} + \ldots \be...

Baker (2019), Barany and Kaenmaki (2019) independently showed that there exist iterated function systems without exact overlaps are super-exponentially close cylinders at all small levels. We adapt the method of obtain further examples this type. prove for any algebraic number \(\beta\ge 2\) real numbers \(s, t\) such system \(\left \{\frac{x}{\beta}, \frac{x+1}{\beta}, \frac{x+s}{\beta}, \fr...

background: the formalism recommended by task group 60 (tg-60) of the american association of physicists in medicine (aapm) is applicable for β sources. radioactive biocompatible and biodegradable 153sm glass seed without encapsulation is a β- emitter with a short half life and delivers a high dose rate to the tumor in the millimeter range. in this work the dosimetry parameters of the seed for ...

Introduction: Retinoid signaling has been argued to have favorable effects on Alzheimer's disease (AD). We studied the role of chronic intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the amyloid-beta (Aβ) model of AD. Methods: Adult male rats weighing 260-330 g were divided into 12 groups of 8 each. Six groups of rats received ATRA (3nM, 30nM, 3μM, 0.3mM, 30...
