dutch elm disease is one of the most destructive vascular wilt diseases in the world. ophiosatoma ulmi and o. novo-ulmi had been the most important causal agents of the dutch elm disease in the last century. so, in order to manage of disease, their identification and distinction is necessary. these fungal species were distinguished based on morphological, physiological and molecular characters....

Celiac disease (CD) is currently considerably underdiagnosed, setting the need for developing tools to select patients with probability of CD, who warrant further testing. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been shown in previous studies to be a sensitive predictor for CD, but it lacks specificity. Splenic hypotrophy is also noted frequently in celiac patients. Our aim was to evaluate ...

Background. In recent years, researchers have investigated the relationship between facial width-to-height ratio (FWHR) and a variety of threat and dominance behaviours. The majority of methods involved measuring FWHR from 2D photographs of faces. However, individuals can vary dramatically in their appearance across images, which poses an obvious problem for reliable FWHR measurement. Methods. ...

Past studies have found that the facial width-to-height ratio (FWHR) is associated with a range of traits and behaviors that are possibly important to dyadic negotiations. However, it is unknown whether the FWHR would have an impact on intergroup negotiations, which happen frequently and often have higher stakes in the real world. To examine this question, in the current study, we randomly assi...

This paper presents a new carrier based pulse-width modulation (PWM) method for matrix converters. By using the concept of average over one switching period, the modulation algorithm and the required equations are derived to synthesize the desired output voltage and to achieve the controlled input power factor. The proposed method uses a continuous carrier and the predetermined duty ratio signa...

objective: to evaluate whether systemic inflammatory markers (neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (nlr), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (plr) and red blood cell distribution width (rdw) to platelet ratio (rpr)) can be used as reliable markers for the diagnosis of premature ovarian insufficiency (poi) and to determine if there is a relationship between these markers and follicle stimulating hormone (fs...

Sensitivity analysis of investigating the parameters effect on the effective width of stressed-skin panels with single-skin and double-rib is presented. Based on the results, a simple formula for predicting the effective width of stressed-skin panels was derived. With this formula, the effective width (ratio) of flange can be determined by multiplying the primary effective width ratio, which is...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the measured dimensions of the normal glenoid on sagittal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to determine whether a fixed ratio of glenoid length and width can be determined. METHODS MR images of 90 glenoids in 84 patients were analyzed. The mean age was 54.8 years, with 44 male and 40 female patients. Glenoid length and width at the widest dimen...
