At 2600 km diameter, the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin is the largest on the Moon and has profoundly influenced lunar crustal configuration and subsequent evolution [1-4]. SPA is significant for two principal reasons: 1) its immense size suggests that it has excavated most or all of the lunar crust at its target site, thus giving us a window into the very deep lunar interior; 2) because it is t...

Cytochrome P450 2C9 is considered as a vital enzyme for drugs and toxic detoxification in human body. The present study was carried out to assess the distribution of CYP2C9 allele and genotypic variants in two ethnic groups (Fars and Turkman) in the North East of Iran. The present study contained 110 unrelated healthy Turkman origin and 110 unrelated healthy Fars origin people who were referred...

Spectrum measurement studies have shown that substantial portions of the allocated wireless spectrum are highly underutilized. Frequency-agile radios (FARs) have the potential to make opportunistic use of such spectrum holes without causing harmful interference to users of the allocated spectrum. Toward this goal, we develop a framework for modeling the interference caused by FARs employing spe...

Groundwater is one of the most important water resources in Fars province. Based on this study, 95 percent of the total annual water consumption in Fars is used for agriculture, whereas the percentages for domestic and industrial uses are 4 and 1 percent, respectively. Population growth, urban and industrial growth, and agricultural development in Fars have created a condition of water stress. ...

Introduction: The South Pole-Aitken (SPA) Basin is the largest, oldest basin on the Moon. The extreme size of the basin, ≤2,500 km in diameter and a present depth of up to 13km [1,2], suggests that much of the upper crust would have been excavated during the formation/impact event, exposing the lower crust or upper mantle. Also, a large volume of impact melt breccia containing extensive lower c...

Pentaceratops sternbergii is an index fossil of the Kirtlandian LVA, and is known from the Fruitland and Kirtland formations, San Juan Basin, New Mexico and from the Williams Fork Formation of Colorado. We remove Chasmosaurus mariscalensis (Aguja Formation, Big Bend National Park, Texas) from Chasmosaurus and make it the type species of a new genus, Agujaceratops. Supposed chasmosaurine endemis...
