Objective: There is no therapy which reverses peripheral neuropathy (PN) in most diabetic patients. We hypothesized that a FDA cleared medical device, which emits monochromatic near infrared (890 nm) photo energy (MIRE) would improve neural function lost during diabetes. Research Design arid Methods: 49 consecutive diabetic subjects (Type 1. n=25: Type II, n=24). with established neuropathy rec...

The Middle East is considered as one of the driest regions world and use municipal-treated wastewater (TWW) for agricultural purposes needed. aim this study was to evaluate effect continuous irrigation TWW in lemon orchards on accumulation heavy metals (HMs) soil, well their uptake translocation aerial parts trees. For purpose, two were selected be irrigated from different water sources: a tert...

Climate change is generally predicted to increase net primary production, which could lead to additional C input to soil. In arid central Asia, precipitation has increased and is predicted to increase further. To assess the combined effects of these changes on soil CO2 efflux in arid land, a two factorial manipulation experiment in the shrubland of an arid region in northwest China was conducte...

BACKGROUND Although infection of dromedary camels with Cryptosporidium spp. is rare in Iran, it is considered a zoonotic threat to the keepers and herders of camels. Thus we investigated the prevalence of Cryptosporidium in these two hosts in Yazd Province, a semi-arid region in center of Iran. METHODS This study was conducted during 4 seasons (winter 2008, summer 2009, winter 2009 and summer...

A drought risk map has been developed at the national scale by using remote-sensing satellite data over Iran combining output layers resulting from three main components of a risk-evaluation procedure including Hazard Quantification (HQ), Vulnerability Assessment (VA) and Identification Elements Risk (IER) in GIS environment. In this respect, Drought Severity (DS) was calculated monthly Normali...

|Universal coding problem for the system of Slepian and Wolf (the SW-system) has rst been investigated by Csisz ar and Korner. They considered the correlated memoryless sources, and established a universally attainable error exponent as a function of rate pair (R1;R2) that is positive whenever (R1; R2) is an inner point of the admissible rate region of the SW-system, which is speci ed dependin...

one of the characters in iranian model of desertification potential assessment (imdpa) is soil. since soil is very important in the degradation of land, so some indices were determined for this character in order to evaluate desertification potential of arid, semi-arid and dry sub humid areas of iran. the indices included soil texture, deep gravel percentage, soil depth, and ec. to calibrate th...
