The term of a “process” is used in Software Engineering (SE) theories and practices in many different ways, which cause confusion. In this paper we give a more formal description a Process-Ontological Model which can be used to analyze some problematic nature of software engineering. Firstly we present a process ontology in which everything is in a process. There are two kinds of processes: “et...

Dendrimers are polybranched and polyfunctionalized tree-like polymers. Unlike linear polymers, they have perfectly defined structure and molecular weight, due to their iterative step-by-step synthesis. Their multivalent structure and supramolecular properties have made them attractive nanotools for applications, particularly in biology and medicine. Among the different biological and medical pr...

Distributed optimization is a fundamental mathematical theory for parallel and distributed systems. Several applications are normally designed based on such a theory, where parties cooperatively exchange messages with little or no central coordination to achieve some goals. In many situations, the transactions among the parties must be private, such as among members of social networks, hospital...

wheat is a crop with spring and winter types and wide adaptability to different climate conditions. the wide adaptability of wheat is mainly controlled by three groups of genetic factors and among them vernalization (vrn) genes play pivotal role in determining spring and winter types. in this study, 395 iranian wheat landraces were characterized with specific primer pairs designed based on vrn-...

The cat (Felis silvestris catus) has a higher dietary protein requirement than omnivores and herbivores, thought to be due to metabolic inflexibility. An aspect of metabolic flexibility was examined with studies of whole-body protein turnover at two levels of dietary protein energy, moderate protein (MP; 20 %) and high protein (HP; 70 %), in five adult cats in a crossover design. Following a 14...
