Proteinuria in normal dogs can be produced at will by parenteral injections of dog plasma. As the plasma injections are continued the plasma protein concentration rises and at some point protein begins to appear in the urine. The level of plasma protein concentration at which proteinuria appears in normal dogs ranges from 9.6 to 10.4 gm. per cent. This may be termed the renal threshold for prot...

Suppose that A ⊆ Z is a £nite set of integers of diameter D = max A−min A. Suppose also that B ⊆ Z is such that A ⊕ B = Z, that is each n ∈ Z is uniquely expressible as a + b, a ∈ A, b ∈ B. We say then that A tiles the integers if translated at the locations B and it is well known that B must be a periodic set in this case and that the smallest period of B is at most 2D. Here we study the relat...

We obtained BV IC photometry of IRC−10443 in 85 different nights distributed over two years, and in addition low resolution absolute spectrophotometry and high resolution Echelle spectroscopy. Our data show that IRC −10443, which was never studied before in any detail, is a SRa variable, characterized by ∆B=1.27, ∆V=1.14 and ∆I=0.70 mag amplitudes and mean values =13.75, =11.33 and =...

accurate estimate of flood flows at selected return periods is a fundamental step in flood control and design of hydraulic structures. due to the inadequacy or unavailability of flood flow records in several western catchments of iran, traditional regional flood frequency methods lead to remarkable estimate errors, particularly for long return periods. in this research, discriminant analysis is...

Observational arguments supporting the binary explanation of the long secondary periods (LSP) phenomenon in red giants are presented. Photometry of about 1200 semiregular variables with the LSP in the Large Magellanic Cloud are analyzed using the MACHO and OGLE photometry. For about 5% of these objects additional ellipsoidal-like or eclipsing-like modulation with the same periods as the LSP is ...

according to amount of oil seeds import in iran are more than 80% of domestic needs, in this study, import comparative advantage in soybeans using rca and rsca index is calculated in 1961-2008 periods for iran and ten important importer countries. iran’s competition state is investigated. also long run relation between production and import comparative advantage index is estimated using johanse...

During visual exploration of a scene human beings can be insensitive to even large changes in the scene when the eye is executing rapid or saccadic eye movements. In this contribution, this period of saccadic suppression was exploited to hide graphics updates in immersive environments. Two experiments were conducted. In the first experiment the general sensitivity of observers to trans -saccadi...
