a two-year laboratory study on the biology (including self-fertilization) of bulinus truncatus, the intermediate host of schistosoma haematobium, s. bovis and paramphistomum microbotrium in iran, has revealed information on the longevity, reproduction, hatchability rate, hatching time during various months of the year, and growth and mortality rates of this snail. it was found that the reproduc...

This study describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of an effective curriculum for students to learn computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in introductory and intermediate undergraduate and introductory graduate level courses/ laboratories. The curriculum is designed for use at different universities with different courses/laboratories, learning objectives, applications, condition...

We propose to use infrared coherent two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCS) to characterize the folding mechanism of the mini-protein Beta3s. In this study Beta3s was folded by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and intermediate conformational ensembles were identified. The one and two-dimensional correlation spectrum was calculated for the intermediate and native states of the mini-pro...

In this article, the first general constructions of fast-decodable, more specifically (conditionally) ggroup decodable, space–time block codes for the Nonorthogonal Amplify and Forward (NAF) MultipleInput Multiple-Output (MIMO) relay channel under the half-duplex constraint are proposed. In this scenario, the source and the intermediate relays used for data amplification are allowed to employ m...

In the course of research, data on Horizon 2020 project participants with “drones” SciVoc identifiers (N = 2245) were downloaded from a database compiled Scopus tables 2245). An algorithm was then used to plot vectors participants’ contact pairs, which transformed into graph and an adjacency matrix. From intermediate, optimised graph, network connections plotted. Network metrics computed, clust...

In this paper we analyze a specific class of rateless codes, called LT codes with unequal recovery time. These codes provide the option of prioritizing different segments of the transmitted data over other. The result is that segments are decoded in stages during the rateless transmission, where higher prioritized segments are decoded at lower overhead. Our analysis focuses on quantifying the e...

spinal cord compression due to extramedullary hematopoiesis is a well-described and rare syndrome encountered in several hematological disorders including β-thalassemia. hereby, a 37-year old pregnant woman with intermediate β -thalassemia with paraparesis and lower limb hypoesthesia was presented. mri showed soft tissue masses in both sides of thoracic paraspinal area. histologically, a mixtur...
