recent attention of the planners in regard to the health services development at the national level has more than ever brought to the light the problem of health manpower shortage, particularly at the paramedical level. for a more effective planning and the utilization of the services of these groups, there is a need of a more empirical research. this paper reports the findings bf the various s...

In the late twelfth century, northern European Jewish mystics engaged in a sustained, unprecedented effort to explore the theological meaning of werewolves. This article seeks to anchor this surprising preoccupation in contemporary European religious culture, arguing that medieval Jews and Christians found werewolves "good to think with" in exploring the spiritual status of the (mutable, unstab...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the resistance of Aedes aegypti to temephos Fersol 1G (temephos 1% w/w) associated with the adaptive disadvantage of insect populations in the absence of selection pressure. METHODS A diagnostic dose of 0.28 mg a.i./L and doses between 0.28 mg a.i./L and 1.40 mg a.i./L were used. Vector populations collected between 2007 and 2008 in the city of Campina Grande, state of P...

This paper presents the ability of hybrid zero dynamics (HZD) feedback control method to reproduce human like movements for walking push recovery of an under-actuated 3D biped model. The balance recovery controller is implemented on a three-dimensional under-actuated bipedal model subjected to a push disturbance. The biped robot model is considered as a hybrid system with eight degrees of freed...

nowadays, many governments have found that the main cause of water crises in agricultural sector related to neglecting farmers’ role in irrigation and drainage networks management. water users association has been considered in order to transferring irrigation management to local beneficiaries. if farmers' opinion toward such transferring don't be investigated, it may lead to failure....

A push-pull fluorogenic reagent, NBD-SCN, was applied for specific detection of cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy). Replacing thiocyanato group with Cys/Hcy increased the push-pull characteristic of the probe and resulted in emission of fluorescence. The fluorescent response of the probe toward Cys/Hcy was significantly higher than toward glutathione and other amino acids. The probe showed a...

Cancer is a complex group of diseases with multiple eventual causes. The underlying causes are not fully known. Thus, learning more about the known causes of cancer is an important issue. Moreover, among these factors, infection and its association to cancers is controversial. Although, it seems that the genome instability of the cells can initiate cancer development. The purpose of this review...
