morphological changes in polyvinyl butyral (pvb) electrospun nanofibres can be acquired by preparation of pvb spinning solution in different solvents.  accordingly, three solvents, including ethyl alcohol, n-butanol and isopropanol, with diverse physical properties (e.g. boiling point, density, dipole moment and dielectric constant) were used to prepare polyvinyl butyral (pvb) spinning solution...

in this paper, we considered solving approaches to flexible job shop problems. makespan is not a good evaluation criterion with overlapping in operations assumption. accordingly, in addition to makespan, we used total machine work loading time and critical machine work loading time as evaluation criteria. as overlapping in operations is a practical assumption in chemical, petrochemical, and gla...

background: chemokine receptors have been shown to play an important role in the development and metastatic spread of various malignancies. in this study, the gene expression profile of some key chemokine receptors involved in metastasis has been investigated in esophageal and breast cancer cell lines.   methods: in a descriptive study, gene expression profile of ccr1, ccr6, ccr7, ccr9, cxcr1, ...

background: transient and stable transformation of host plants are the common techniques to produce transgenic plants. however, the main drawback of stable transformation is the fact that it takes quite a long time to produce a transgenic line. while, transient gene expression is a quick method to produce recombinant proteins in plants.  objective: the main goal of the present study was to eval...

in this paper‎, ‎we study the extremal‎ ‎ranks and inertias of the hermitian matrix expression $$‎ ‎f(x,y)=c_{4}-b_{4}y-(b_{4}y)^{*}-a_{4}xa_{4}^{*},$$ where $c_{4}$ is‎ ‎hermitian‎, ‎$*$ denotes the conjugate transpose‎, ‎$x$ and $y$ satisfy‎ ‎the following consistent system of matrix equations $a_{3}y=c_{3}‎, ‎a_{1}x=c_{1},xb_{1}=d_{1},a_{2}xa_{2}^{*}=c_{2},x=x^{*}.$ as‎ ‎consequences‎, ‎we g...
