islam is regarded to pay attention to the characteristics of urban life which can be practiced on the urban settings. not surprisingly, islam has made a great focus on the form and design of cities and prescribed detailed and elaborate regulations for individual and communal life. seen from other way round, the penetration of islam into various regions such as iran, europe, and africa had an un...

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune bullous disorder with urticarial pruritic papules and plaques and tense bullae in flexural surfaces of body. The localized form of the disease is a rare variant which can be triggered by different stimuli. Hereunder, we report a patient with the local type involving genitalia without any triggering factors.

Retrospective study of 59 chlidren with JLS from 3 to 17 y (M = 10.3) treated with MTX was performed. Group 1 (n = 18) – received prednisone 0.5 mg\kg for 6 weeks, taped to 0.1 mg\kg for 12 months + MTX 10 mg\body sq. weekly for 13.7 mo. Group 2 (n = 41) -MTX the same doses and duration. The efficacy was measured in 6 & 12 months using skin score, activity and sclerosis indexes (IA, IS) (1 – 3 ...

in this paper, the interaction between an oscillating dipole moment and a silver nanoparticle has been studied. our calculations are based on mie scattering theory and discrete dipole approximation(dda) method.at first, the resonance frequency due to excitingthe localized surface plasmons has been obtained using mie scattering theory and then by exciting a dipole moment in theclose proximity of...

In this paper, we introduce a neuraldynamic architecture that enables autonomous learning of sensory-motor mappings in a closed behavioral loop. Dynamic neural fields ensure stability of perceptual and motor representations, a neural-dynamic representation of the condition-of-satisfaction autonomously terminates the current action and enables activation of the next action, triggering a transien...

The relationships between the core-periphery architecture of the species interaction network and the mechanisms ensuring the stability in mutualistic ecological communities are still unclear. In particular, most studies have focused their attention on asymptotic resilience or persistence, neglecting how perturbations propagate through the system. Here we develop a theoretical framework to evalu...

Global Software Development (GSD) considers the coordinated activity of software development that is not localized and central but geographically distributed. To support coordination among sites, usually it is aimed to adopt the same development and execution platform. Unfortunately, adopting a single platform might not be always possible due to technical or organizational constraints of the di...
