OBJECTIVE This study aimed to analyze the incidence of colorectal cancer in 15 European countries in recent decades and the relationship between the incidence found and changes in dietary habits. METHODS Pearson's or Spearman's correlation coefficients were calculated by comparing incidence rates obtained from the International Agency for Research on Cancer for 1971-2002 with data on per capi...

random early detection (red) is one of the most commonly used active queue management (aqm) algorithms that is recommended by ietf for deployment in the network. although red provides low average queuing delay and high throughput at the same time, but effectiveness of red is highly sensitive to the red parameters setting. as network condition varies largely, setting red's parameters with fixed ...

the relationship between altitude, slope and tree age with the red heartwood of beech (fagusorientalis lipsky) were investigated. transect sampling method was used to collect the data. theresults showed that in the 476 sampled trees, 132 trees were suffering the phenomenon of red heartswith deferent shape and size. the results indicate that the tree with red heartwoods in shafa-roudforest area,...

background fenton (fe2+ and h2o2) and modified fenton (fe3+ and h2o2) are two popular methods used in advanced oxidation processes (aop) and degradation of persistent organic pollutants (pops), such as dye compounds. in these processes, fe2+ and fe3+ as catalysts and h2o2 as the oxidizing agent are added to the reactor. objectives the aim of the current study is to assess the abovementioned met...

background and objectives: discharge of wastewater from textile dyeing industries has been a problem in terms of pollution and treatment of these waters is a great task. keeping this in mind, the aim of our current research is to study the effect of various bioprocess variables on decolorization of an azo dye, congo red, by a fungal isolate, aspergillus niger hm11. materials and methods: centra...

background: colors make many problems and these are major sources of environmental pollution. therefore, this wastewater should be treated before discharge to environment to reduce the environmental threats. adsorption is one of the usual processes for color removal from wastewater. nanotube s are new adsorbents with extend application for adsorption of different compounds. aim of this study wa...
