salinity stress is one of the most important abiotic factors that restrict the growth and yield of many plants. salinity can increasingly influence the host susceptibility, occurrence and development of plant diseases due to its negative effects on the host plants. mycorrhizal fungi are able to increase the tolerance of some plants to salinity. in this study, the biological effects of glomus mo...

Zircon mineral (ZrSiO4) is a potential host matrix for the encapsulation of highly radioactive materials, such as dismantled weapons and nuclear waste from power stations (Ewing, 2001). We report a detailed computer modelling study, based on interatomic potentials, to address two fundamental issues concerning radiation processes in the zircon mineral: first, the physics and chemistry of U and P...

Cognitive functioning is critical as in our daily life a host of real-world complex decisions in high-stakes markets have to be made. The decision-making process can be vulnerable to environmental stressors. Summarizing the growing economic and epidemiologic evidence linking air pollution, cognition performance and real-world decision-making, we first illustrate key physiological and psychologi...

Several mitigation and suppression policies, such as social distancing, city lockdowns, remote working, testing, providing personal protective equipment and health care resource availability have been implemented by the governments in response to Covid-19 pandemic. Until now (October 23, 2020), over 1.14 million deaths in the world including 31,650 just in Iran have been officially attributed t...

Malicious peripherals designed to attack their host computers are a growing problem. Inexpensive and powerful peripherals that attach to plug-and-play buses have made such attacks easy to mount. Making matters worse, commodity operating systems lack coherent defenses, and users are often unaware of the scope of the problem. We present Cinch, a pragmatic response to this threat. Cinch uses virtu...

Mobile computing environments are traditionally resource-constrained with mobile computers typically characterized by less network bandwidth and power availability than stationary computers. Ideally, users should be able to experience both mobility and performance without sacriicing one for another. Therefore, there is a need for information retrieval policies that are resource eecient. In this...

one of the method to clean up contaminated soil is growing a hyper accumulator plant which is named phytoremediation. some of  hyper accumulator plants are proper host for mycorrhizal fungi.in this relationship, fungus, consume a part of organic carbon from the plant and by developing its mycelium network help plant to uptake more mineral nutrients from the soil. by doing a greenhouse research ...

The proliferation of international biomedical research has stimulated growing concern regarding the potential for exploitation of vulnerable populations in low-income countries by research sponsors in high-income countries. Three sets of international guidelines on ethical biomedical research — the WMA Declaration of Helsinki, the CIOMS International Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical Research I...

Management and protection of proprietary intangible assets such as technology and management skills is important for firms considering international expansion via joint ventures. Joint venture partners have incentives to appropriate intangible property. Also many governments have instituted policies to help domestic firms maximise technology spillovers. Some require foreign firms interested in ...
