geometric morphometric method was used to examine body shape variations among all the seven valid species of the genus alburnus in iran. in total 409 specimens of a. chalcoides, a. filippii, a. atropatenae, a. caeruleus, a. mossulensis, a. hohenackeri and a. zagrosensis were collected from babolrud, baleqlu-chai, miriseh, sarabeleh, gamasiyab, mahabad-chai rivers and the gandoman lagoon, respec...

A species of the family Lycosidae, Venonia spirocysta Chai 1991, is reported from Japan for first time. The specimens were collected Tarama-jima Island, Okinawa Prefecture. genus also newly recorded Japan, but since generic placement V. problematic, this may be transferred to another in future.

soil characteristics is very important in water erosion processes. the present investigation was conducted in gully lands of ardebil province, iran, to assess the role of soil texture and structure on aggregate stability using wet sieve method. to achieve the study purposes, mean weighted diameter of aggregates was calculated, and its relationships with lime and clay percentages, sodium absorpt...

We investigated ADAMTS13 activity as well as the ADAMTS13 gene mutation in children with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Eighteen patients, including 6 diarrhea- negative (D-HUS) and 12 diarrhea-associated HUS (D+HUS) patients, were evaluated. The extent of von Willebrand factor (VWF) degradation was assayed by multimer analysis, and all exons of the ADAMTS13 gene were PCR-amplified using Taq ...

In this correspondence, we point out two typographical errors in Chai and Tjhung’s paper and we offer the correct formula of the unified Laguerre polynomial-seriesbased cumulative distribution function (cdf) for small-scale fading distributions. A Laguerre polynomial-series-based cdf formula for non-central chi-square distribution is also provided as a special case of our unified cdf result.

Uncovering hidden determinants of health Jeanne Chai et al. (331–339) study the association between child growth and violence in the home. Transforming society for better health outcomes Cicely Marston et al. (376–382) explain why community participation is crucial. Towards fair assessments Laura Frost et al. (393–395) explain why many voices are needed to understand health and development issues.
