in this study two intelligent systems, based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (anfis) and artificial neural networks (anns) of forecasting municipal solid wastes (msw) generation has been proposed. anfis and anns as an intelligent tool compared with together was used to monthly prediction of msw generated in tehran. monthly amount of solid wastes (sw), total monthly precipitation, mont...

palm date leaves were processed with lime in a processing reactor in a factorial arrangement of treatments (3 × 3) with 3 levels of temperatures (40, 80 and 100°c) and time periods (80, 160, and 240 minutes) in a completely randomized design. fermentation parameters measured using gas production technique. with increasing pretreatment time and temperature lignin content reduced from 13.0 percen...

karyotypes of eleven iranian populations of trigonella foenum-graceum were investigated. somatic chromosome numbers of examined populations were determined as 2n = 14. chromosomal parameters were examined as follows: long arm length (tl), short arm, total chromosome length, arm ratio, r-value, form percentage of chromosome, total form percentage of karyotype. chromosomes were mostly metacentric...

intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (icam-1) lys469glu (k469e) polymorphism and gly 241arg (g241r) polymorphism might play important roles in cancer development and progression. however, the results of previous studies are inconsistent. the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between icam-1 k469e and g241r polymorphisms and the risk of cancer by meta-analysis.a comprehensive literat...
