Iranian Cenozoic magmatic belt, known as Urumieh-Dokhtar, is recognized as an important polymetallic mineralization which hosts porphyry, epithermal, and polymetallic skarn deposits. In this regard, multivariate analyses are generally used to extract significant anomalous geochemical signature of the mineral deposits. In this study, stepwise factor analysis, cluster analysis, and concentration–...

The geodesic structure of a graphs appears to be a very rich structure. There are many ways to describe this structure, each of which captures only some aspects. Ternary algebras are for this purpose very useful and have a long tradition. We study two instances: signpost systems, and a special case of which, step systems. Signpost systems were already used to characterize graph classes. Here we...

ectoparasites of various species of rodents were examined from sarepole zehab, kermanshah province iran during 2005. this city is bordered with iraq. a total of 139 rodents included 6 species of hosts were captured during all different seasons and examined for ectoparasites using live trap. the area of study was mainly plateu (70%) and mountanous. the hosts including: microtus socialis, mus mus...

BACKGROUND Surgical cutting guides are used in mandibular reconstruction involving osteotomy of the mandible and fibula. Cutting guides produced using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies have been reported recently. These guides aim to increase the benefits to patients by improving the accuracy, shortening the operating time, and correcting occlusion....

The discovery and realization of topological insulators, a phase matter which hosts metallic boundary states when the $d$-dimension insulating bulk is confined to ($d-1$)-dimensions, led several potential applications. Recently, it was shown that protected can manifest in ($d-2$)-dimensions, such as hinge corner for three- two-dimensional systems, respectively. These nontrivial materials are na...

during 2007-2008, 58 strains of p. syringae pv. syringae (pss) were isolated from various prunus species and other hosts such as sugar beet, pear, quince, oat, millet, wheat, barley, and rice in fars, isfahan, kohgiloye and boyer ahmad, chahar mahal-o-bakhtiari provinces of iran. the strains were tested for pathogenicity, the presence of the syrb gene and box pcr (box a1r primer). all teste...

Diabetes remains a growing epidemic with widening health inequity gaps in disease management, self-management knowledge, access to care and outcomes. Yet there is a paucity of evaluation tools for community engaged interventions aimed at closing the gaps and improving health. The Guide to Community Preventive Services (the Community Guide) developed by the Task Force on Community Preventive Ser...
