background: blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (nlr) and mean platelet volume (mpv) both have been used as a simple marker of inflammation in many disorders. here, we aimed to investigate the relationship between nlr, mpv, and familial mediterranean fever (fmf). materials and methods: in this retrospective study, the fi les of fmf patients in pediatric rheumatology outpatient clinic were revi...

vegetation deterioration is a main cause of erosion and land degradation. therefore, land cover reclamation in the effected areas will affect erosion trend. in reclamation projects, the investigation of relationship between the planted species and soils is highly recommended. atriplex species can sequester carbon into soil, and have an ability to conserve soil and prevent soil erosion, as well....

Abstract Second-order mean-motion resonances lead to an interesting phenomenon in the sculpting of period-ratio distribution, due their shape and width period-ratio/eccentricity space. As osculating periods librate resonance, time-averaged period ratio approaches exact commensurability. The second-order increases with increasing eccentricity, thus more eccentric systems have a stronger peak at ...
