The objective of the present study was to investigate the polymorphism of prolactin promoter and cytosolicphosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-C) intron 3 to exon 3 regions, and its association with economictraits in native fowl of Yazd province. These traits consisted of body weight at 8 (BW8) and 12 (BW12) weeks of age, age at sexual maturity (ASM), weight at sexual maturity ...

Melt electrowriting produces complex polymeric microstructures by controlling electrified polymer jet deposition. This work explores the potential of designing poly(ϵ-caprolactone) MEW with thermochromic responses. Samples up to 4 wt % dye content fibers 20.7 ± 0.9 μm have been processed without compromising printing quality. small amount filler results in desired active response color change a...

In the present study, poly(ε-caprolactone) copolymers decorated with random inclusion of thermally stable and photo-dimerizing cinnamoyl groups were synthesized for an electrically-assisted material extrusion additive manufacturing technique named melt electrowriting (MEW). The absence thermally-induced reactions between maintained molten processable at elevated processing temperature while UV ...

In next generation wireless networks, the most tempting feature is the ability of the user to move smoothly over different access networks regardless of the network access technology. In this paper we study the benefit of Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) strategies for network selection. We compare three of these methods naming Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), Multiplicative Exponentia...

Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) is one of the best candidate network selection methods used for Vertical Handover Decision (VHD) in heterogeneous wireless networks (4G). Selection of the network in MADM is predominantly decided by two steps, i.e., attribute normalization and weight calculation. This dependency in MADM results in an unreliable network selection for handover, and in a r...

In a mew method for the estimation of transferrin by iron-binding capacity iron is added as the tartrate in NaCl with about 10 mM bicarbonate. The excess iron is removed by passage through DEAE-Sephadex A-50 previously treated with the iron chelator disodium catechol-3,5-disulphonate. The iron remaining bound to transferrin is measured without protein precipitation by the use of ferrozine. The ...
