Following 4 species of Mosses are reported from Hezar Masjed mountains (north of Khorasan province) as new records to Iran: Pottia lanceolata, Grimmia alpicola, Bryum badium & Ovthotrichum schimperi.The descriptions, collecting localities (habitats) and distribution of each species in the world along with their figures are given.

We investigated the prevalence of human CE among nomadic communities in 4 areas of Khuzestan province: Behbahan, Shoush, Masjed Soleiman and Izeh. Blood samples from 3446 individuals from 700 randomly selected families were examined for detection of antibody against Echinococcus granuIosus. Family members were interviewed to assess possible risk factors for infection such as age, sex, dog owner...

The results of the recent published paper by Masjed-Jamei et al. 2009 are extended to a larger class and some of subclasses are studied in the sequel. In other words, we generalize the well known Cauchy-Schwarz and Cauchy-Bunyakovsky inequalities having eight free parameters and then introduce some of their interesting subclasses.

Recently, Masjed-Jamei and Koepf established the extension of several classical summation theorems (including Gauss’s second theorem). Our aim in this paper is to establish a further exte...

Iran is a mountainous country. Hezar Mt., is an isolated mountain with the highest peak of 4465 m (above sea level) located in southeast of Iran. This paper aims to provide a general overview of alpine phytodiversity of Hezar Mt. Alpine regions are above timber-line which is dependent on the climate, slopes and human activities. The timberline at Hezar Mt., is varying from 3200 m (North slope) ...

Due to the lack of consensus on the most accurate marker of vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy and the optimal level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 25(OH)D, for its definition, vitamin D deficiency assessment during pregnancy is a compl...
