The taxonomic affinity of six species of Crocus (C, cancellatus subsp. Damascenus C. almehensis, C. gilanicus, C. sativus, C.pallassi subsp. haussknechtii,C. speciosus subsp. speciosus) from Iran were studied usingdifferent electrophoresis techniques. The similarity index of the species was computed by comparison of protein bands of - Corm and seed tissues, and the related dendrogms of affi...

Petroleum contamination of soil is a serious problem throughout the oil producer countries. Vegetation may play an important role in the biodegradation of toxic organic chemicals in soil. For petroleum compounds, the presence of rhizosphere micro flora may accelerate biodegradation of the contaminants. In a greenhouse study, petroleum contaminated soil were treated using phytoremediation . ...

In this paper, we introduce a concept of a generalized $c$-distance in ordered cone $b$-metric spaces and, by using the concept, we prove some fixed point theorems in ordered cone $b$-metric spaces. Our results generalize the corresponding results obtained by Y. J. Cho, R. Saadati, Shenghua Wang (Y. J. Cho, R. Saadati, Shenghua Wang, Common fixed point  heorems on generalized distance in ordere...

Given four complex matrices $A$‎, ‎$B$‎, ‎$C$ and $D$ where $Ainmathbb{C}^{ntimes n}$‎ ‎and $Dinmathbb{C}^{mtimes m}$ and let the matrix $left(begin{array}{cc}‎ A & B ‎ C & D‎ end{array} right)$ be a normal matrix and‎ assume that $lambda$ is a given complex number‎ ‎that is not eigenvalue of matrix $A$‎. ‎We present a method to calculate the distance norm (with respect to 2-norm) from $D$‎ to ...

fifteen microsatellite markers were employed to evaluate genetic relationships among different iranian species of crocus spp. (c. sativus, c. haussknechtii, c. cancellatus, c. speciosus, and c. caspius) from ten geographical regions (ghaen, gonabad, estahban, ferdows, veresk, reno, ali abad, kali abad, neka, and eslam abad). of these, 12 primers revealed polymorphism among crocus spp. average p...

the effect of inter-implant distance on retention and resistance of implant-tissue-supported overdentures is lacking in the literature. an in vitro study was performed to evaluate this effect for mandibular implant-tissue-supported overdentures retained by two ball attachments.an acrylic cast of an edentulous mandible was fabricated. three pairs of implants were symmetrically placed at both sid...

let $g$ be a connected graph with vertex set $v(g)$‎. ‎the‎ ‎degree resistance distance of $g$ is defined as $d_r(g) = sum_{{u‎,‎v} subseteq v(g)} [d(u)+d(v)] r(u,v)$‎, ‎where $d(u)$ is the degree‎ ‎of vertex $u$‎, ‎and $r(u,v)$ denotes the resistance distance between‎ ‎$u$ and $v$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we characterize $n$-vertex unicyclic‎ ‎graphs having minimum and second minimum degree resista...

Suppose each of n men and n women is located at a point in a metric space. A woman ranks the men in order of their distance to her from closest to farthest, breaking ties at random. Œe men rank the women similarly. An interesting problem is to use these ranking lists and €nd a stable matching in the sense of Gale and Shapley. Œis problem formulation naturally models preferences in several real ...
