In the course of the study of collected specimens from West Azerbaijan province (NW Iran), Prometheum rechingeri (Crassulaceae) is reported for the first time from Iran. Based on recent phylogenetic and morphological studies in Crassulaceae family, genus Prometheum was considered as independent genus. So far, two species viz. P. pilosum (under Sedum pilosum), and P. sempervivoides (under S. se...

We examine an unstudied manuscript of N.S. Koshliakov over 150 pages long and containing the theory two interesting generalizations ζp(s) ηp(s) Riemann zeta function ζ(s), which we call functions. His has its genesis in a problem analytical heat distribution was analyzed by him. In this paper, further build upon his obtain new modular relations setting functions, each gives infinite family iden...

A new four parameter extended Conway-Maxwell-Poisson (ECOMP) distribution which unifies the recently proposed COM-Poisson type negative binomial (COM-NB) distribution [Chakraborty, S. and Ong, S. H. (2014): A COM-type Generalization of the Negative Binomial Distribution, Accepted in Communications in Statistics-Theory and Methods] and the generalized COM-Poisson (GCOMP) distribution [Imoto, T. ...

Entity authentication and key distribution are central cryptographic problems in distributed computing|but up until now, they have lacked even a meaningful de nition. One consequence is that incorrect and ine cient protocols have proliferated. This paper provides the rst treatment of these problems in the complexity-theoretic framework of modern cryptography. Addressed in detail are two problem...

The complex and overlapping tissue distribution of different members of the gap junctional connexin protein family is reviewed. Intermixing of different connexins in the building of intercellular channels and translational and posttranslational regulation of gap junctional channels add additional challenges to the interpretation of the possible functions played by gap junction-mediated intercel...

the present study is based on the assumption that the more the women enjoy the cultural capital, the higher their position in the power structure of the family and the more their bargaining power. for evaluating the aforementioned theory, the required data were attained through survey methodology and questionnaire tool and by selecting a sample of 385 married women resided in shiraz. the sampli...
