background:   objective: we evaluated the icsi outcome in our program for (htlv-1) serodiscordant couples (sdcs) with the female infected in comparison with control group.   materials and methods: this study was performed between 2007 and 2011 in novin infertility treatment center (mashhad, iran). we examined 32 icsi cycles of htlv-1 infected women in comparison with an age matched control grou...

this paper describes a methodology for the integration of well logs and a series of grid-based attributes extracted from interpreted seismic data for prediction of porosity distributions. the studied area is located in the southwest iran. before finding a relationship between the target logs and predicted logs from 3d seismic data, we have interpreted the 3d seismic data in the studied area. al...

the extensive use of pesticides in agriculture is compromising soil and water quality. one major concern is protecting water resources from contamination. the main objective of this research was measuring 2,4- d in a silty clay soil and simulating temporal transportation of this herbicide in soil using a leachp model, in a corn root zone field. 2,4- d was applied at 3.5 kg a.i./ha, followed by ...

activities of thirty bacterial strains obtained from plants rhizosphere in different areas against phytophthora drechsleri were assessed through in vitro and greenhouse experiments. dual culture and extracellular metabolites tests were used in in vitro assays. the bacterial strains inhibited growth of p. drechsleri, the highest inhibition zones was belonged to t17-4 strain with 61.904% in dual ...

conclusions il-33 may be a potential new agent to attenuate rir injury by reducing inflammatory cell infiltration and preventing apoptosis. results our data revealed that il-33 pretreatment maintained a better retinal structure, inhibited leukocyte infiltration (il-33 vs. mg with p < 0.01 and il-33 vs. pbs group with p < 0.01), and reduced the apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells (il-33 vs. mg w...

raditionally, the function of a network has been to deliver packets from one endpoint to another. There was a distinct boundary between what is done within the network and what is done by the users. Processing within the network was limited basically to routing, congestion control and quality of service (QoS) schemes. This kind of a network can be regarded as “passive”. Several problems with “p...

selenium is an essential trace mineral and has a profound impact on immune function, health and productive performance. an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary selenium in different levels on performance and humoral immunity in broiler chicks. male broiler chicks (arbor acres, 1-d old, n= 225) were randomly assigned to 3 treatment groups of 5 replicates each including 15 ...

a new and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of 4-aryl-7-benzylidene-1,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-2h-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-2-ones through biginelli-like reaction of cyclopentanone, with urea/thiourea and aromatic aldehyde employing p-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (dbsa) as a recyclable catalyst under solvent-free condition. the recovered catalyst was recycled for further runs. the pr...

a new facile route for synthesis of 3- (aryl) -8, 9- di (alkyl) thieno [3,2-e] [1,2,4] triazolo pyrimidines derivative from the same starting material, 2- amino - 4,5 -di (alkyl) thiophene-3- carboxamide, has been developed through heterocyclization of the corresponding arylidene-hydrazino -5,6 -di (alkyl) thieno [2,3-d] pyrimidine under refluxing condition with acetic anhydride followed by air...
