designing effective strategies for sediment management and control is closely related to identification of sediment sources in a drainage basin. one of the methods for investigating sediment sources is using magnetic tracers for erosion and sediment yield studies. sediment source identification using magnetic characteristics is a simple, inexpensive, quick and non-destructive method having appl...

Sir, We read with interest the review article in Brain by Siclari et al. (2010). Although the authors cite some relevant studies, in our opinion, they do not adequately discuss the possible causal link between alcohol ingestion and disorders of arousal. Siclari and colleagues state ‘criteria for establishing the putative role of an underlying sleep disorder in a specific violent act have been p...

Objective In this study, the levels and antioxidant activities of some secondary metabolites isolated from five pistachio (Pistacia vera) cultivars collected from four different geographical regions of Iran, were studied. Materials and Methods Total phenolic compounds levels were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method. Total flavonoid content was determined as AlCl3 complex and expressed as mg ...

Pistachio is one of the most important horticultural crops in Iran.  There is a unique role for amino acids in the plant response to stressful conditions, and special physiological role for Arginine (Arg) compared to other amino acids.  The effects of this compound were investigated on vegetative and reproductive characters of bearing pistachio trees of ‘Ahmad-Aghaei’. The experiments were done...

Introduction Antenatal care (ANC) is essential for the health of both the mother and child. The risk of maternal mortality and morbidity as well as neonatal deaths can be reduced substantially through regular and proper antenatal care check-up and delivery under safe and hygienic conditions (Moller, et al. 1989, Joseph, 1989). Studies demonstrating the high levels of maternal mortality in devel...
