The effect of ordinary and restricted selection indices on body weight at different ages changes in birth weight of Iranian Moghani sheep was studied. Traits in the aggregate genotype were birth weight (BW), body weights at 3 (BW3) and 12 months of age (BW12). Two ordinary selection indices (I1 and I2) and two restricted selection indices (R1 and R2) were constructed. BW and BW3 were included i...

objective: the two most frequent hypochromic microcytic anemias are β- thalassemia minor (btm) and iron deficiency anemia (ida). several discrimination indices have been proposed to quickly discriminate these similar entities via parameters obtained from automated blood count analyzers. the aim of this study to evaluate the diagnostic reliability of ten discrimination indices in the differentia...

introduction: discharging of industrial colored wastewaters especially into aqueous environments can cause adverse effects on aquatic life due to their toxic natures. in this study, montmorillonite modified by hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (hdtma-mt) was used for the adsorption of methylene blue (mb). materials and methods: the influence of surfactant loading rate, contact time, ph, adsor...

in this study, the removal of as (v) from water resources by using aluminum-coated pumice as a new adsorbent was assessed. the features of the adsorbent coating layer were observed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem).the effects of various parameters such as adsorbent doses, ph, contact time, arsenate initial concentration and interfering ions in arsenic adsorpt...

PURPOSE To determine which machine learning classifier learns best to interpret standard automated perimetry (SAP) and to compare the best of the machine classifiers with the global indices of STATPAC 2 and with experts in glaucoma. METHODS Multilayer perceptrons (MLP), support vector machines (SVM), mixture of Gaussian (MoG), and mixture of generalized Gaussian (MGG) classifiers were trained...

Let U ⊂ R2 be an open subset and f : U → R2 be an arbitrary local homeomorphism with Fix f {p}. We compute the fixed point indices of the iterates of f at p, iR2 f, p , and we identify these indices in dynamical terms. Therefore, we obtain a sort of Poincaré index formula without differentiability assumptions. Our techniques apply equally to both orientation preserving and orientation reversing...

We studied different face velocity and carbon dioxide (CO2) initial concentration to examine the adsorption behavior of calcium oxide (CaO) impregnated activated carbon (AC) filter and also to discuss pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion three kinetic models. The experimental results show that saturation time and saturation capacity were decreased and increased w...

background: synthetic dyes have several harmful effects on human health as well as aquatic life. in this study, activated carbon (av-ac), based on aloe vera leaf shells, was used as a novel agricultural adsorbent, one that is low-cost and available for the removal of congo red (cr) as a carcinogenic dye from aqueous solutions. methods: in the batch system, the influence of different parameters ...
