information on water quality and pollution sources is important for the implementation of sustainable water resource management strategies. in this research, to evaluate spatial variation and the interpretation of large complex water quality data taken at seven different sites along the gorganrood river were subjected to multivariate statistical analysis. the factor analysis generated two signi...

We report on a research effort aiming at the development of an acoustic bird activity detector (ABAD), which plays an important role for automating traditional biodiversity assessment studies – presently performed by human experts. The proposed on-line ABAD is considered an integral part of an automated system for acoustic identification of bird species, which is currently under development. In...

A topological duality for monadic n-valued Lukasiewicz algebras introduced by M. Abad (Abad, M.: Estructuras cíclica y monádica de un álgebra de Lukasiewicz nvalente. Notas de Lógica Matemática 36. Instituto de Matemática. Universidad Nacional del Sur, 1988) is determined. When restricted to the category of Q-distributive lattices and Q-homomorphims, it coincides with the duality obtained by R....

It is well established that the intracellular accumulation of Aβ (amyloid β-peptide) is associated with AD (Alzheimer's disease) and that this accumulation is toxic to neurons. The precise mechanism by which this toxicity occurs is not well understood; however, identifying the causes of this toxicity is an essential step towards developing treatments for AD. One intracellular location where the...

BACKGROUND The outcome of patients with acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) is strongly related to their clinical presentation. The purpose of this study was to investigate predictors for mortality among patients presenting with ABAD and to create a predictive model to estimate individual risk of in-hospital mortality using the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD). METHO...

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes multiple complications, which can be prevented or minimized, through patient education (PE). Individuals with SCI are different, according to culture, socioeconomic status, level of education, access to educational facilities, and geographic region. Therefore, different teaching strategies should be used to increase effectiveness of education. Objecti...

BACKGROUND This study developed and validated a questionnaire to measure the sexual health of patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI). MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional study conducted at the Brain and Spinal Injury Research Center (BASIR), Tehran, Iran. Extensive review of literature, expert opinions, and encounters with SCI patients were used to develop and validate the ques...

BACKGROUND The clinical profiles and outcomes of patients treated surgically for acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) are often reported for those in small series or for those cared for at a single institution over a long time period, during which a continuous evolution in techniques has occurred. Accordingly, we sought to evaluate the clinical features and surgical results of patients enrolle...
