objectives: herbal medicine is known as a valid alternative treatment. salvia reuterana, which has been used in the iranian traditional medicine, is mostly distributed in the central highlands of iran. salvia reuterana is a medicinal herb with various therapeutic usages. the aim of the present review is to take account of pharmacological properties of salvia reuterana. materials and methods: th...

We consider the volumetric barrier for semide2nite programming, or “generalized” volumetric barrier, as introduced by Nesterov and Nemirovskii. We extend several fundamental properties of the volumetric barrier for a polyhedral set to the semide2nite case. Our analysis facilitates a simpli2ed proof of self-concordance for the semide2nite volumetric barrier, as well as for the combined volumetri...

Successive generations of multivoltine species experience selection specific to the spatiotemporal environments encountered that may lead to adaptive divergence in reproductive traits among generations. To compare reproductive effort within and between generations, appropriate volumetric models, selected on the basis of the analysis of egg shape, are required to estimate the sizes (volumes) of ...

[1] Validation of gridded satellite observations and climate model simulations are fundamental to future improvements in retrieval algorithms and model developments. Among the metrics, the contingency table, which includes a number of categorical indices, is extensively used in evaluation studies. While the categorical indices offer invaluable information, they do not provide any insight into t...

Cobalt molybdenum nitrides are one of the most promising ammonia-synthesis catalysts future. However, selection optimal promoter composition is a challenging task. In this paper, structure–property relationship ternary cobalt as ammonia synthesis promoted with potassium was studied. A series containing 0.2–3.5 wt% analyzed by means X-ray diffraction, volumetric gas adsorption, and activity test...

a down-flow hanging sponge (dhs) reactor has been developed for sewage treatment, mainly in developing countries. this novel reactor employs polyurethane sponge material as a support medium, which promises a proliferation of a large amount of biomass, offering excellent pollutant removal capability. three types of sponge medium were evaluated with respect to water distribution and oxygen mass t...

Polyethylene wear of acetabular components is a key factor in the development of periprosthetic osteolysis and wear at the articular surface has been well documented and quantified, but fewer data are available about changes which occur at the backside of the liner. At revision surgery for loosening of the femoral component we retrieved 35 conventional modular acetabular liners of the same desi...

The internal structure and petrophysical property distribution of fault zones are commonly exceedingly complex compared to the surrounding host rock from which they are derived. This in turn produces highly complex fluid flow patterns which affect petroleum migration and trapping as well as reservoir behavior during production and injection. Detailed rendering and forecasting of fluid flow insi...
