background: fascioliasis is a zoonotic disease of livestock and human caused by fasciola species. here in, the results of serological evaluation of fascioliasis in peo­ple referring to the school of public health, tehran university of medical sci­ences during 2008-2014 are presented. methods: demographic characterizations, symptoms and eosinophil rate were registered for every patient. using so...

background infectious diarrhoeal diseases cause major problems throughout the world and are responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality. enteropathogenic escherichia coli (epec) may cause infantile diarrhoea among children in developing countries. objectives the aim of this study was to define the prevalence of epec strains in raw milk samples. materials and methods raw milk samples co...

Images fed to a deep neural network have in general undergone several handcrafted image signal processing (ISP) operations, all of which been optimized produce visually pleasing images. In this work, we investigate the hypothesis that intermediate representation images is sub-optimal for downstream computer vision tasks compared RAW representation. We suggest operations ISP instead should be to...

the present study examined the effects of vitacel raw fiber on great sturgeon (huso huso) immunocompetent cell population size including lymphocyte and neutrophil populations and lysozyme activity after oral administration of the feed and vitacel at 1.3% of the feed for 90 days. generally, a significant increase was seen in the neutrophil count of fish receiving vitacel as compared to the contr...

background and objectives: in this study, the proteolysis and lipolysis of poosti cheese produced from raw sheep milk in mountainous eastern regions of iran were investigated during 90 days of ripening. materials and methods: sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for proteolysis (sds-page) and gas chromatography (gc) for free fatty acids (ffas) were applied to investigate th...
