genetic typing methods of t. gondii strains have been extensively perfected in recent years. from a technical point of view, many tools usable for genetic studied on single-copy loci have been used: rflp, pcr-rflp, sequencing, rapd-pcr and isoenzyme analysis. we described the cloning and sequence analysis of the gene which encodes the major surface antigen (sag1 or p30) of t. gondii. sag1 is th...

processing map for hot working of ti-if steel has been developed in the temperature range of 750 to 1100 °cand strain rate of 0.01 to 100 s-1. this map in the austenite region exhibits a single domain with a peak efficiencyof 45% occurring at 1025 °c and strain rate of 0.02 s-1. the domain extends over the temperature range of 1000to 1100 °c and strain rate range of 0.01 to 1 s-1. the true stre...

In the slitting method, a small width slit is created incrementally through the thickness of the stressed specimen and the released strains in each increment are recorded by a strain gauge. Compliance coefficients relate the measured strains to the residual stresses. This paper investigates the important parameters influencing the calculation of compliance coefficients for isotropic plates and ...

Background and Aim: Dental implants with angled abutments are often inserted in the anterior maxillary region due to the status of the residual ridge and aesthetic considerations. The purpose of this study was to assess stress and strain distributions in the premaxillary bone around dental implants by means of finite element analysis (FEA). Materials and Methods: Four three-dimensional (3D) fi...

The aim of the present study is the prediction of critical conditions (including critical strain and flow stress) for the initiation of dynamic recrystallization during thermo-mechanical processing of plain carbon steels. For this propose, torsion tests were conducted at different temperature (1050, 1100 and 1150˚C) and strain rates (0.002, 0.02 and 0.2/s). All flow curves showed a peak st...

Male guinea pigs show high susceptibility to Burkholderia mallei and have been used as animal models in glanders studies. The purpose of our study was to elucidate glanders comparative pathogenesis in guinea pigs. We present here the histological changes and bacterial isolation that develop over time in guinea pigs inoculated intraperitoneally (IP) with two strain of B. mallei. Ten male guinea ...

Considering economical reasons and attempting to reduce carbon foot print of concrete structures, there is increasing tendency toward use of high strength reinforcement in seismically active regions. ACI 318-19, Iranian steel rebars standard INSO 3132 and next edition of Iranian national building allow the use of high strength rebars in elements of ductile force resisting systems. Therefore it ...

A total of 71 fusidic acid-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (45 methicillin-resistant and 26 methicillin-susceptible) isolates were examined for the presence of resistance determinants. Among 45 fusidic acid-resistant methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), isolates, 38 (84%) had fusA mutations conferring high-level resistance to fusidic acid (the MIC was ≥128 μg/ml for 22/38), none had fusB, an...
