Qeshm Channel is a shallow and narrow waterway located between Qeshm Island and the mainland in the vicinity of Hormuzgan Province, Islamic Republic of Iran. This channel is important because of its economic, industrial, fisheries and navigation role it plays as well as environmental issues it presents in the region. A prognostic study was performed to simulate currents in this channel, using C...

In this article, I examine the conceptual and methodological points of convergence divergence two intellectual currents frequently referred to as decolonial ontological turns in social anthropological theory. Salient considered are ways both theoretical projects unsettle modernity’s dominant epistemological foundations by seriously engaging potential thinking with alterity (ethical dimension) f...

The goal of this study was to determine the effects of the L-type calcium channel blockers verapamil and diltiazem on the currents of voltage-gated potassium channel (fKv1.4ΔN), an N-terminal-deleted mutant of the ferret Kv1.4 potassium channel. Measurements were made using a two electrode voltage clamp technique with channels expressed stably in Xenopus oocytes. The fKv1.4ΔN currents displayed...

“Science” and “magic” are not simply two opposing thought processes which have a straightforward relationship, first, on presumed axis of progress—from magic to science, second, within the context cultural divide—Western “science” vs. Eastern “tradition”. The aim this paper is examine in historical perspective introduction so-called “Western medicine” Japan idea that through “traditional” Chine...

In this article, I argue that the work of Bruno Latour has straddled two conflicting intellectual traditions: relativism 20th-century postmodernism (which deconstructed realist pretensions scientism) and realism 21st-century New Materialism seeks to sublate postmodern linguistic turn embrace science alongside critical theory). connect these twin tendencies their ancient precursors among Greek s...

introduction: human embryonic stem cells (hescs) are pluripotent cells that can proliferate and differentiate to many cell types. their electrophysiological properties have not yet been chracterzed. in this study, the passive properties (such as resting membrane potential, input resistance and capacitance) and the contribution of delayed rectifier k+ channel currents to the membrane conductance...

Density Current is formed when a fluid with heavier density than the surrounding fluid flows down an inclined bed. These types of flows are common in nature and can be produced by; salinity, temperature inhomogeneities, or suspended particles of silt and clay. Driven by the density difference between inflow and clear water in reservoirs, density current plunges clear water and moves towards a d...
