A mathematical model for nutritional transport in capillary tissues exchange system in thepresence of magnetic field has been studied. In this case, the cell is deformed. Due to concentrationgradients, the dissolved nutrient in substrate diffuses into surrounding tissue. Theanalytical method is based on perturbation technique while the numerical simulation is basedon finite difference scheme. R...

Background: It seems that the incidence of pertussis-like illnesses is considerably increasing despite the wide coverage of immunization with the whole cell pertussis vaccine. We aimed to investigate the occurrence of pertussis in vaccinated children by measuring anti-pertussis antibodies. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, blood samples were taken from vaccinated children aged 2, ...

The experiment was conducted to study the effect of different dietary supplementation alanyl-glutamine dipeptide (AGD) and/or vitamin E (VE) on growth performance, antioxidant indexes, and expression glutathione peroxidase (GPx) peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARⱭ) genes in juvenile marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) seawater acidification. Seven groups triplicate were studied a...

in this research at the first, xylometazoline hydrochloride drug (xy) and its fullerene connected form (fxy) were optimized. natural bond orbital (nbo) calculations for these compounds were carried out at the b3lyp/6-31g* quantum chemistry level, in the gas phase and the liquid phase. these calculations can be performed at different accuracy levels depending on the aim of the theoretical study....

yog-ice cream (frozen yogurt), is a kind of frozen dessert which has similar features to ice cream in physical and appearance characteristics. recently, there has been a growing interest in using frozen yogurt due to existence of lactic acid bacteria & fermentation processing. besides, yog-ice cream contains lower levels of sugar, fat & emulsifiers than ice cream. this research was conducted to...

a large volume of tailings has been produced in anjir-tangeh coal washing plant for 22 years of human activity. the coal washing activities have reduced plant diversity near the plant. the environmental impact of coal washing plant on the vegetation around the factory was studied in two seasons. the concentrations of pb, cd and cr, measured in different native plant species, were in normal rang...

In this study, aluminide coating was employed to enhance the high-temperature cyclic oxidation of Rene-80 superalloy at 950ºC. The microstructural aspects and phase constituents of samples were  investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The result of oxidation tests showed that the weight gain in the uncoated sample was considerably higher than...

Copper sulfate has been used for many years as an algaecide and parasite treatment. The usage of copper has certain issues as there is a thin line that separates effective treatment levels from overdoses. Copper sulfate can be extremely toxic to fish under certain conditions. This study is focused on the effects of copper sulfate on some blood indices in Oncorhynchus mykiss during a 24 hour per...

The external walls are regarded as an important source for the thermal exchange between the outside and inside of a building. Despite the significance of building walls for energy savings, a large body of research has focused mainly on thermal comfort, environmental impacts, and economic costs of residential buildings. However, few researchers have addressed the thermal performance of common bu...
