conclusions our results indicated that the dissemination of pi-1 was widespread in s. pneumoniae isolates, although no pi-2 isolates were detected. furthermore, the frequency of rlra and rrgc of clinical isolates was significantly more than that of normal flora isolates. results the results confirmed the presence of rlra and rrgc genes in both clinical (n = 39) and normal flora (n = 26) isolate...

drug design is generally achieved through trial and error methods, which is a time and resource consuming process and novel methods are needed to improve it. mathematical modelling is one of the possible solutions to speed up this process. in this study, we have presented box-jenkins model, to predict the vasorelaxant activity (pec50) of a set of benzopyrane compounds. we used the hyperchem sof...

grape is used in large amounts and different types (fresh, raisin, vinegar, molasses, juice, unriped grape and etc). remarkable amount also are preserved in stores and cold-rooms to be supplied out of season, that causes  quality and weight decrease. this research was conducted to study different factors which affect the grape shelf-life. obtaining more information about optimum conditions and ...

In this paper the parametric study is carried out to investigate the effect of number of cells in optimal cost of the non-prismatic reinforced concrete (RC) box girder bridges. The variables are geometry of cross section, tapered length, concrete strength and reinforcement of the box girders and slabs that are obtained using ECBO metaheuristic algorithm. The design is based on AASHTO standard s...

One of the major cipher symmetric algorithms is AES. Its main feature is to use S-BOX step, which is the only non-linear part of this standard possessing fixed structure. During the previous studies, it was shown that AES standard security was increased by changing the design concepts of S-BOX and production of dynamic S-BOX. In this paper, a change of AES standard security is studied by produc...

In order to implement an integrated optical quantum circuit, designing waveguides based on the quantum box is of prime importance. To do this we have investigated optical waveguide both with and without optical pumping. The rate of absorption and emission using an array of AlGaAs/GaAs quantum box core/shell structure in the optical waveguide with various pumping intensities has computed. By con...

M a y / J u n e 2 0 0 0 I E E E S O F T W A R E 71 This was the situation in a company I worked for some years ago: people were whispering in the corners, discussing explanations and scapegoats—half-hearted attempts to put out the fire. We were rapidly losing money and self-respect, until one manager stepped forward and admitted: “This piece of software is fatal for us. We must completely rebui...
