Area preserving nontwist maps, i.e. maps that violate the twist condition, are considered. A representative example, the standard nontwist map that violates the twist condition along a curve called the shearless curve, is studied in detail. Using symmetry lines and involutions, periodic orbits are computed and two bifurcations analyzed: periodic orbit collisions and separatrix reconnection. The...

This paper presents a simple modification to the standard IS curve used, at least implicitly, by policymakers that allows capital flight to have a contractionary effect in emerging market economies. In the standard model, capital flight leads to an expansionary shift in the IS curve through an increase in net exports. However, in the presence of liability dollarization for domestic firms, a cur...

Background: Bradford protein assay is popular due to its ease of performance and relative sensitivity. Many researchers and laboratories in Iran use standard assay of Bradford by cuvette. No commercial kit was available for Bradford microplate assay in Iran. Meanwhile, imported Bradford commercial kits are very expensive and have a long delivery time in Iran. Till now no study or document on Br...

Background and Objectives: In the original in vitro method for evaluation of iron bioavailability using caco-2 cell model, ferritin formation by cells is considered as a functional indicator of both absorption and utilization of iron. However, as iron is measured in the tested material and then ferritin concentration is measured in caco-2 cell lysate, it is almost impossible to have a concrete ...

sulphide was determined spectrophotometrically at 628 nm and ph 6.7 based on its catalytic reduction of toluidine blue in the presence of se(iv) using a flow injection system. after optimization of the measuring conditions the calibration curve was found linear up to 25 mg/ml and the detection limit was 0.3 mg/ml (30 ml injections). the relative standard deviation for the determination of 10 mg...

Use of an imported external standard curve is common in real-time quantitative RT-PCR. Two practical strategies for long-term experiments include importing a grand mean standard curve to all accumulated runs or using daily imported standard curves, fixing the slope at the beginning of the experiment and calibrating successive runs with curves generated from this imported slope, adding a single ...
