Identification of cancer clusters may have an important value to the study of disease etiology in cancer surveillance. We aimed to determine the spatial pattern of childhood cancer cases (CCCs) from 2007 to 2009 in Tehran, Iran. Records of 176 childhood cancer counts (children younger than 15 years old) for 2007-2009 were obtained from Iran’s Ministry of Health and Medical Education. Thereafter...

Analysis and simulations are performed for a simplified model of a commercially available variant on the skateboard, known as the Snakeboard. Although the model exhibits basic gait patterns seen in a large number of locomotion problems, the analysis tools currently available do not apply to this problem. The difficulty is seen to lie primarily in the way in which the nonholonomic constraints en...

Analyzing protein-RNA binding structures depends on a significant quantity of manual work. Therefore, the protein-RNA binding structures are generally studied individually or on a small-scale. The task of analyzing the protein-RNA binding structures manually becomes increasingly difficult as the complexity and number of protein-RNA binding structures increase. We have developed a set of algorit...
