The purpose of this paper is to construct perfect samplers for length-interacting Arak–Clifford–Surgailis polygonal Markov fields in the plane with nodes of order 2 (V-shaped nodes). This is achieved by providing for the polygonal fields a hard core marked point process representation with individual points carrying polygonal loops as their marks, so that the coupling from the past and clan of ...

conclusions in addition to the modern medical diagnostic methods, indigenous knowledge of folk medicine, especially folk orthopedics, with a little thought, guidance and planning can be considered as an appropriate therapeutic method in order to raise the level of public health without any side effects. background medical anthropology is the comprehensive intercultural systematic study of healt...

BACKGROUND On the continuation of sorting the puzzle of the situation of hydatid disease in Iran and considering that so far no survey was conducted in this context in Arak City, Markazi Province central Iran, the present study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of human hydatidosis using AgB-ELISA test. METHODS Totally 578 serum samples randomly were collected from patients referr...

We construct random dynamics on collections of non-intersecting planar contours, leaving invariant the distributions of lengthand area-interacting polygonal Markov fields with V-shaped nodes. The first of these dynamics is based on the dynamic construction of consistent polygonal fields, as presented in the original articles by Arak (1982) and Arak & Surgailis (1989, 1991), and it provides an e...

toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic and usually asymptomatic infection. this study was carried out to investigate the seroepidemiology of toxoplasma infection in women referred to arak marriage consulting center during 2012-2013.in this cross-sectional study, serum samples were collected from 400 women referred to marriage consulting center in arak city, markazi province, central iran during 2012-2013....

background: soil structure is mainly composed of sand, silt, clay, and organic materials. organisms can live in the soil. the large number of stray cats in the cities of iran is a major environmental and health problem. toxoplasma oocysts are shed with the feces of cats, so soil is known as a potential source of transmission of toxoplasmosis. the aim of this study was to determine the soil cont...
