the predator-prey model with stage structure for predator is generalized in the context of ecoepidemiology, where the prey population is infected by a microparasite and the predator completely avoids consuming the infected prey. the intraspecific competition of infected prey is considered. all the equilibria are characterized and the existence of a hopf bifurcation at the coexistence equilibriu...

background: meict is the first chlorotoxin-like peptide isolated from the iranian scorpion mesobuthus eupeus. chlorotoxin (ctx) is a neurotoxin that specially binds to (mmp-2) on ma-lignant cells and now is used in treatment of glioma. in the present study, we have used homology modeling to propose the 3d structure of meictand analyze its interaction with mmp-2 and its snp types. methods:the st...

The aim of this empirical study is to explore the trade-off model and pecking order model of capital structure. The investigation is performed using panel data procedures for a sample of 76 firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange during 2007-2010.The study employs OLS regression model in examining the capital structure of firms in Iran. The study employs variables reflecting differing theoretical...

Redesigning Bazaar Physical Structure According to its Dealing Culture Structure Case Study: Arab Bazaar in Ahvaz City The Bazaar physical structure is formed from the arrangement syntax of division units, Interfaces, joints and boundaries to each other and the Arabic Bazaar also follows this example. This structure is the result of arrangement syntax of division units with linear pattern a...

In this study, through series of shaking table tests and statistical analysis, the efficiency of Uniform Tuned Liquid Column Damper (UTLCD) in structures resting on loose soils, considering soil-structure interaction was investigated. The soil beneath the structure is loose sandy soil. The Laminar Shear Box (LSB) as a soil container was adopted and the scaled form of the prototype structure nam...

p2x 7 antagonist activity for a set of 49 molecules of the p2x 7 receptor antagonists, derivatives of purine, was modeled with the aid of chemometric and artificial intelligence techniques. the activity of these compounds was estimated by means of combination of principal component analysis (pca), as a well-known data reduction method, genetic algorithm (ga), as a variable selection technique, ...
