castration of male animal's leads to a reduction in aggressive behavior, which animals will avoid wasting energy resulting to economic production of the animal, grows. it also reduces damage and bruising animals and increases normed meat producing at slaughter. in this study, 20 lambs ghezel breed in four age groups, group 1: one month (n = 4), group 2: two months (n = 4) group 3: three months ...

Prevalence, Antimicrobial Susceptibility, and Distribution of Virulence Genes Involved in Biofilm Formation Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolated from Shahrekord Medical Centers, Chaharmahal Bakhtiari, Iran

OBJECTIVES High consumption of bakery products such as cream-filled pastries may cause serious health risks and food poisoning to humans. Therefore, investigation of the microbial and chemical qualities of bakery products containing cream is necessary. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the chemical qualities and microbial contaminations of cream-filled pastries collected from ...

Julolaelaps hallidayi sp. n., was collected from soil of river verge in Brujen, Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari province, Iran. Description and illustrations of this new species based on adult females are presented. Some entries are added to the key of Moraza and Kazemi (2012) to include the new species.

Background The presence of different missense mutations in sheep breeds have shown that the bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1B (BMPR1B), bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) and growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) genes play a vital role in ovulation rate and prolificacy in ewes. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate BMPR1B, BMP15 and GDF9 gene mutations in prolific ewes of I...

Bakhtiari et al recently proposed a fast message authentica-tion primitive called KHF. This paper shows that KHF is highly vulnerable to diierential cryptanalysis: it can be broken with about 37 chosen message queries. This suggests that the KHF design should be reconsidered .

A new species of Gaeolaelaps (Acari, Mesostigmata, Laelapidae) is described based on morphological characters of adult females collected from nest of Formica sp. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in the Shahrekord Region, Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari province, Iran. A key for the identification of species of Gaeolaelaps with short peritremes is presented.

As I read the study by Bakhtiari et al. (1), I noticed that they miscalculated the positive predictive value. They indicated that the positive predictive value of the PCR assay was 100%. But when I placed the values on the table and calculated the positive predictive value of the PCR assay, I found it 83.3%.

We carefully analyze the WFPC2 and STIS images of GRB970228. We measure magnitudes for the GRB970228 point source component in the WFPC2 images of V = 26.20 −0.13, Ic = 23.94 +0.10 −0.09 and V = 26.52 +0.16 −0.18, Ic = 24.31 +0.15 −0.11 on March 26 and April 7, respectively; and Rc = 27.09 +0.14 −0.14 on September 4 in the STIS image. For the extended component, we measure magnitudes of Rc = 25...
