In communities which consume rice as main food, importance of risk assessment forcontaminants is always taken into consideration by health authorities. The present study isan attempt for monitoring of 56 pesticides from different chemical groups in rice samplescollected from local markets in Tehran and estimation of daily intake of interested pesticidesthrough this monitoring. A valid method ba...

We obtain the rigorous WKB expansion to all orders for the radial Kepler problem, using the residue calculus in evaluating the WKB quantization condition in terms of a complex contour integral in the complexified coordinate plane. The procedure yields the exact energy spectrum of this Schrödinger eigenvalue problem and thus resolves the controversies around the so-called ”Langer correction”. Th...

Studer's neobladder lithiasis is a rare but important long term complication of this orthotopic bladder substitute technique. We report a case of a 45 year-old male patient, submitted to a radical cystoprostatectomy with a Studer's orthotopic neobladder 4 years before, presenting bad compliance to recommended urinary habits, increased production of mucus and high post voiding residue. CT scan a...

The scattering of water waves by the edge of a semi-infinite ice sheet in a finite depth ocean is solved using the residue calculus technique. We consider both the case where the obliquely-incident plane wave is from the open sea region and the complementary problem where the wave is incident from the ice covered region. Exact solutions to these problems are obtained, equivalent to those that c...

The existence of trapped modes near obstacles in two-dimensional waveguides is well established when the centre-line of the guide is a line of symmetry for the geometry. In this paper we examine cases where no such line of symmetry exists. The boundary condition on the obstacle is of Neumann type and both Neumann and Dirichlet conditions on the guide walls are treated. A variety of techniques (...

A general class of (multiple) hypergeometric type integrals associated with the Jacobi theta functions is defined. These integrals are related to theta hypergeometric series via the residue calculus. In the one variable case, theta function extensions of the Meijer function are obtained. A number of multiple generalizations of the elliptic beta integral associated with the root systems An and C...

We define a general class of (multiple) integrals of hypergeometric type associated with the Jacobi theta functions. These integrals are related to theta hypergeometric series through the residue calculus. In the one variable case, we get theta function extensions of the Meijer function. A number of multiple generalizations of the elliptic beta integral [S2] associated with the root systems An ...

New designs for families of sequences over GF ( ) with low cross correlation, balance property, and large linear span are presented. The key idea of the new designs is to use short -ary sequences of period with the two-level autocorrelation function together with the interleaved structure to construct a set of long sequences with the desired properties. The resulting sequences are interleaved s...

In this paper, we define a rough cosine similarity measure between two rough neutrosophic sets. The notions of rough neutrosophic sets (RNS) will be used as vector representations in 3D-vector space. The rating of all elements in RNS is expressed with the upper and lower approximation operator and the pair of neutrosophic sets which are characterized by truth-membership degree, indeterminacy-me...

We introduce a concise pi-calculus with directed choices and develop a theory of subtyping. Built on a simple behavioural intuition, the calculus offers exact semantic analysis of the extant notions of subtyping in functional programming languages and session-based programming languages. After illustrating the idea of subtyping through examples, we show type-directed embeddings of two known sub...
