BACKGROUND The importance of data quality whether in collection, analysis or presenting stage is a tangible and undeniable scientific fact and the main objects of researches implementation. OBJECTIVE This paper aims at explaining the main problems of the Iranian scientific papers for providing better data in the field of national and sub-national prevalence, incidence estimates and trends of ...

Reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is a powerful method for evaluating patterns of gene expression. Jujube whole-genome sequencing has been completed, and analysis of gene function, an important part of any follow-up study, requires the appropriate selection of reference genes. Indeed, suitable reference gene selection for RT-qPCR is critical for ac...

To study the structure of Iranian chemistry research, we identified 43 Iranian and international chemists who were highly cited in 7,682 Iranian chemistry publications (defined as an article with at least one Iranian author address) indexed in Science Citation Index (SciSearch) between 1990 and 2006, inclusive. We collected cocitation data for these authors from the entire SciSearch file (Dialo...

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) of Chinese jujube with Cordyceps militaris was performed in the present study. The results revealed that contents total phenolic and flavonoid rice medium 50% content increased to 1.59 mg GAE/g d.w. 0.46 RE/g, respectively. changes acid composition showed a similar tendency, three forms individual compounds, namely free phenol, free/conjugated bound phenol extensi...

In view of the problem whereby floor-standing jujube pickup device designed by research group has a large resistance when comb teeth (CT) enter soil, strip brush can easily bend, and operation effect is poor. this paper, structural parameters CT bar in mechanical floor date-picking are determined theoretical analysis. EDEM software was used to establish discrete element simulation model soil–ju...

Introduction. This study evaluated the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in a sample of Iranian patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. The data were compared with the HRQOL for the Iranian general population. Materials and Methods. Two-hundred and fifty patients undergoing hemodialysis were included using a convenience sampling approach in a cross-sectional study. Data collection wa...

We report on MAX-DOAS observations of NO2 over an oasis–ecotone–desert ecosystem in NW China. There, local ambient NO2 concentrations originate from enhanced biogenic NO emission of intensively managed soils. Our target oasis “Milan” is located at the southern edge of the Taklimakan desert, very remote and well isolated from other potential anthropogenic and biogenic NOx sources. Four observati...

BACKGROUND Plants produce secondary metabolites that often possess widespread bioactivity, and are then known as phytochemicals. We previously determined that several phytochemical-rich food-derived preparations were active against pathogenic foodborne bacteria. Trichomonads produce disease (trichomoniasis) in humans and in certain animals. Trichomonads are increasingly becoming resistant to co...
