Background and Objectives: Health human resources is the major asset of the health system. The status of human resources in upstream and regulatory health organizations can exert high impact on the effectiveness of health policies and the performance of health system. This study, hence, was designed to explore the possible area of human resource damage to the employees of the Iranian Ministry o...

In the present work we report the synthesis and physico-chemical characterization in terms of the viscosity and density of a wide series of cholinium-amino acid based room temperature ionic liquids ([Ch][AA] RTILs). 18 different amino acids were used to obtain 14 room temperature ILs. Among the most common AAs, only valine did not form an RTIL but it is a liquid above 80 °C. With respect to the...

Nitrobenzofurazan derivatives are well known for their fluorescence, whilst crown ethers complexing capacity toward cationic species. In this study, we present the synthesis and structural characterization of a new derivative containing both nitrobenzofurazan moieties ether core. The compound was obtained from dibenzo-18-crown-6 ether, which first nitrated, reduced to corresponding amine, subse...

A crucial component of performing sufficient dimension reduction is to determine the structural dimension of the reduction model. We propose a novel information criterion-based method for this purpose, a special feature of which is that when examining the goodness-of-fit of the current model, one needs to perform model evaluation by using an enlarged candidate model. Although the procedure does...

The genus Orbivirus consists of 12 defined serological groups of arthropod-borne viruses. The taxonomic group was formed following the demonstration that the genome of bluetongue virus consisted of 10 segments of double-stranded RNA. Viruses with morphology and physico-chemical proper­ ties similar to those of bluetongue virus were included in the genus. As viruses representative of each serogr...

delaminomycin A (1, Fig. 1), a novel compound possessing an acyl tetramic acid moiety1}, has been isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces albulus MJ202-72F3 which was deposited in the Fermentation Research Institute of the Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, Japan, with the accession No. FERMP-126742). The strain also produced some compounds related to delaminomycin A as minor ...

The structure of liquid Ge15Te85, Ge25Te75 and Ge33Te67 alloys has been studied by neutronand X-ray diffraction. Datasets obtained by the two techniques have been modelled simultaneously with the reverse Monte Carlo simulation method. As a result, the first coordination numbers and nearest neighbour distances for the studied alloys were estimated. On the base of the experimental data, Ge-Ge bon...
