The existence of a superconducting branch bifurcating from the normal state is proved in semi-infinite strips. It is proved that the critical magnetic field at which bifurcation takes place, or the onset field, for a semi-infinite strip is greater than the onset field for an infinite strip with the same width. In addition we find the loci of the vortices far away from the corners and show conve...

BACKGROUND Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic pathogen that can infect a range of animals and humans. Ingestion of T. gondii oocysts in soil is a significant transmission route for humans and animals acquiring toxoplasmosis. In the present study, we developed a new semi-nested PCR method to determine T. gondii oocysts distribution in soils in northwestern China. RESULTS The one tube semi-nested ...

testosterone level was determined in six different populations of iran using saliva steroid assay. significant difference was observed in morning and afternoon testosterone level of the same individual (p>0.00l) significant difference was also noticed among different regions studied (p>0.00 1). comparisons between alcoholics and nonalcoholic as well as smokers and nonsmokers showed significant ...

Background: Occupational health is a sensitive field in many countries where occupational exposure needs attention due to the lack of awareness. Several businesses, including leather, textile, iron, steel, and dyeing industries use a variety of mutagenic and genotoxic chemicals. Exposure to these chemicals may pose serious health risks, including genetic damage to workers. Comet assay is a tech...

In this paper is proved that the group of automorphisms of semi-group End(P [X]), if P is algebraically closed field, is generated by semi-inner automorphisms.

For the evaluation of autoantibodies in Pemphigus vulgaris (PV), an indirect ELISA assay was developed by using a semi-purified human epidermal skin extracted with approximately a molecular weight (M.W.) of 130-160 kDa. The evaluation of Pemphigus IgG, IgM and IgA autoantibodies in 75 patients and 50 control sera indicated that this indirect ELISA assay was a useful method for the detection of ...
