the academic center of jundishapur has been among significant ones in the old east. an important issue in recognizing such a center is studying the factors relative to its academic growth, among which the following can be enumerated: the emigration of christian scientists, the sassanid king’s attention to the city, etc. the important matter, however, is the consistency of this center in academi...

growth traits, yield and fruit quality in ‘synda’ tomato were compared with those in tomatoes grafted onto either ‘king kong’ rootstock or onto their own rootstocks, (trained as single or double stem), and at two fruit thinning levels, of: no thinning or thinned to five fruits per truss. the data related to crop growth rate (cgr), relative growth rate (rgr), net assimilation rate (nar), leaf ar...

NEK2 is a member of the NIMA-related family of serine/threonine centrosomal kinases. We analyzed the relationship between differential expression of NEK2 and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patient outcomes after liver transplants. We also studied the microRNAs that affect NEK2 expression. Analysis of multiple microarrays in the Oncomine database revealed that NEK2 expression was higher in HCC t...

The ability to represent mental states (‘Theory of Mind’; ToM) is crucial in understanding individual differences in social ability, and social impairments evident in conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The “Reading the Mind in the Eyes” Test (RMET) is a popular measure of ToM ability, validated in part by the poor performance of those with ASD. However, the RMET requires recogni...

Small size antennas usually suffer from bandwidth limitations. Bandwidth can be increased by adding lossy elements but, they significantly affect the efficiency of the antenna. One method to solve the efficiency problem without increasing the antenna size is to use the tunable antenna concept. Recently, tunable antennas attract much attention in mobile communications. The objective of this proj...
