having sufficient and accurate understanding about kinetics of phenomena, could be an important reason for further technological progresses. finding a white-box mathematical model for weight vs. time curves of electrophoretic deposition (epd) using large and small signal analysis has been studied thoroughly in the present investigation. weight-time curves of nano-mullite suspension have been tr...

abstract background: the uterus continues to contract after childbirth. the pain caused by the contractions of the uterus can be as severe as labor pain. the study was aimed to evaluate the effects of ice massage applied to the large intestine 4 (li4) on postpartum pain during the active phase of labor. materials and methods: the study was designed as a randomized controlled trial with three gr...

phyllodes tumors account for less than 1% of breast tumors in women. giant phyllodes tumors are larger than 10 cm in diameter. a 40-year-old lady presented with a left breast lump that was present for two years. she underwent a simple mastectomy. the tumor was 30×26×21 cm in size, weighed 15 kg and had a density of 0.915 gr/cm3. we believe this patient had the third largest breast phyllodes tum...

in present paper, a point to point optimal path is planned for a mobile manipulator with flexible links and joints. for this purpose, a perfect dynamic modeling is performed for mobile manipulators considering large deformation in links, shear effects, elastic joints, effect of gravitation, and non-holonomic constraints. to study large deformation of links, non-linear relation of displacement-s...

diffuse large b-cell lymphoma is the most common type of non-hodgkin lymphoma. micrornas (mirnas) are endogenous small rna, which can regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. mirna profiling has shown a great potential as novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. the present study was performed at the nemazee teaching hospital (shiraz, iran) from 2011 to 2013.the aim of thi...

background and objective: approximately half of patients with diffuse large b-cell lymphoma are cured with current chemotherapy regimens. the purpose of this study was to evaluate bax and bcl2 expression and their relationship with the response to chemotherapy. materials and methods this study was a prospective analysis on 44 patients with diffuse large b-cell lymphoma. their specimens were sta...
