biological anthropology had been considerably changed from beginning to now. from 19th to mid-20th century, the race has been the principal concept in bio-anthropologic researches. since mid-20th, the concept of race replaced with the new subjects. the second half of 20th century can be counted as the transition period for bio-anthropology. the three last decades of 20th century are the decades...

Introduction No other European gull has shown such a dramatic and rapid change of distribution in the last decades as the Mediterranean Gull Larus melanocephalus. Whereas in the 1940s breeding locations were restricted to coastal areas of the Black Sea in the Ukraine, Mediterranean Gulls can now be found nesting in many places scattered over Europe, in locations as near to Scotland as the Nethe...

Introduction: It has been reported the alkaline response of pancreas to duodenal acidification is partly mediated through duodenal release of H2S, but till now the effect of duodenal acidification on gastric H2S release has not been investigated. Therefore, the present study designed to evaluate the effects of duodenal acidification on gastric H2S release and level of mRNA expression of cys...

theatrical works of art related to iraq & iran war are refered to as the genre of “the sacred defense theatre”. although various organizations were established to support these works but this genre have not been produced continuously. indeed, the sacred defense theatre is a kind of war theatre that not only deals with themes, situations, events and characters of war but also reflects moral and ...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been shown to protect the gastric mucosa through several protective mechanisms but till now its effect on mRNA expression of sodium bicarbonate cotransporter 1 (NBC1), trefoil factor1 (TFF1) and trefoil factor2 (TFF2) was not investigated. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of H2S on mRNA expression of NBC1, TFF1 and TFF2 in rat gastric ...

We present a system for drawing pastel media in real-time as an effective alternative to most existing digital solutions that basically allow for drawing arbitrary strokes in a particular style. Our approach is focused on the simulation of the natural material itself and on its interaction with the drawing surface and the drawing tool. Upon free-form drawing, a bidirectional transfer of pigment...

The area swept out under a one-dimensional Brownian motion till its first-passage time is analysed using a Fokker-Planck technique. We obtain an exact expression for the area distribution for the zero drift case, and provide various asymptotic results for the non-zero drift case, emphasising the critical nature of the behaviour in the limit of vanishing drift. The results offer important insigh...

abstract the present research was done to evaluate proline, proteins and sugars of flower buds of pistachio trees during phonological stages. this study was conducted using a split-plot design with three replications considered time as main factor (5 stages) and cultivars (ahmad-aghaee, ouhadi, kaleh-ghochi and akbari) as secondary factor. the experiment was conducted at ferdowsi university of ...
