conclusions the results of the study showed a high prevalence of giardia lamblia and blastocystis hominis in rural areas compared to urban regions. therefore it is necessary to promote the public health awareness in the rural population, in order to reduce the frequency of parasitic infections. background nowadays, parasitic infections are a major health problem throughout the world, particular...

We explored the energy loss mechanisms in capacitive deionization (CDI). We hypothesize that resistive and parasitic losses are two main sources of energy losses. We measured contribution from each loss mechanism in water desalination with constant current (CC) charge/discharge cycling. Resistive energy loss is expected to dominate in high current charging cases, as it increases approximately l...

Background: Raw (fresh) vegetables are an important ingredient of healthy diet. Many enteric bacterial, parasitic and viral pathogens could be transmitted by vegetables. Mazandaran province is located in northern Iran with a coastal area and extensive fields for vegetable cultivation. The current study is designed to evaluate the parasitic contamination of fresh vegetables. Methods: A total...

Guidelines are suggested to implement the introduction of beneficial insect-parasitic nematodes into the United States from abroad. These suggestions result from experiences and research with these and other biological control agents and from the current need for procedures to import nematodes. Subjects considered are need to import, foreign exploration, taxonomy, shipment, quarantine facilitie...

In the field of analog VLSI design, current conveyors have reasonably established their identity as an important circuit design element. In the literature published during the past few years, numerous application have been reported which are based on a variety of current conveyors. In this paper, an oscillator circuit has been proposed. This oscillator is designed using a single positive type s...

conclusions according to the current study results, it may be concluded that ethanol extract of p. harmala is efficient in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis, and the efficiency is comparable with that of glucantime. results the results showed that ethanol extract of p. harmala had good therapeutic efficacy in treatment of lesions in mice (p < 0.05), and the efficacy was significant in th...

Parasitic plants have the ability to obtain nutrients directly from other plants, and several species are serious biological threats to agriculture by parasitizing crops of high economic importance. The uniqueness of parasitic plants is characterized by the presence of a multicellular organ called a haustorium, which facilitates plant-plant interactions, and shutting down or reducing their own ...

We have profiled the parasitic source and drain resistances versus current in recessed-gate HFET's with heavily-doped caps, using an InAIAs/n+-InP HFET as a vehicle. We observe a dramatic reduction in the parasitic resistances at moderate-to-high currents as significant current passes through the cap. Consequently, we note very little dependence in gm on the length of the extrinsic gate-source ...
