in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...

abstract: country’s fiber optic network, as one of the most important communication infrastructures, is of high importance; therefore, ensuring security of the network and its data is essential. no remarkable research has been done on assessing security of the country’s fiber optic network. besides, according to an official statistics released by ertebatat zirsakht company, unwanted disconnec...

    Background & Aim: Toxoplasmosis is caused by a protozoan parasite called toxoplasma gondii. SAG1 is an antigen which only exists in tachyzoite stage. This antigen which has two glycoforms is a conformational antigen. The aim of this research is to study cloning of SAG1 gene in PTZ57R and transformation of recombinant plasmid in E.coli(TG1 & DH5a). Material & Method: Tachyzoites of T.gondii ...

abstract cooperative learning refers to small groups of learners working together as a team to solve a problem, complete a task, or accomplish a common goal. in a cooperative environment one’s success is directly related to the success of other members because the focus on the individual shifts towards the group. to test the effectiveness of the method, using jigsaw technique, a study was cond...

the present study investigated construct equivalence of multiple choice (mc) and constructed response (cr) item types across stem and content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘a’), non-stem-equivalent but content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘b’), and non-stem and non-content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘c’). one hundred seventy english-major undergraduates completed mc ...

  Background & Objective: Transformation of plasmid DNA into bacterial competent cells is a key technique for molecular cloning. Transformation can be achieved using either chemical or physical methods, e.g., electroporation. The rate of success in these methods depends on experience and attention to method’s details. Therefore, the higher the efficiency and quality of a transformation method, ...
