A new simple model is introduced for a liquid and an equation of state is derived based on this model and the statistical mechanical calculations. This equation of state works well for the non-polar and slightly polar liquids. The important conclusion that may be deduced from this equation of state is that if the reduced variables of state are chosen and defined appropriately, then, the pri...

Background and objectives: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of mortality among men worldwide, and the eighth cancer-related cause of death in Iran. Male sex hormones (androgens) are the main cause of prostate cancer cells. Triptorelin is considered a synthetic decapeptide analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in the treatment of prostate cancer. This study aimed to evalua...

the aim of this study was to analyse polar lipids of candida species isolated from ahwaz (iran) by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (fab ms). nine isolates of candida sp. were identified by growth at 45°c, production of chlamydoconidia on cornmeal agar, colonial colour on chromagar candida, germ tube production and id 32c kits. then polar lipids were extracted from freeze-dried cultures ...

We consider the problem of supporting H-ARQ with polar codes. For supporting H-ARQ, we propose to create redundancy versions based on different, but equivalent, subsets of a polar code. The equivalent subsets are created from an initial subset of a polar code using an inherent symmetry in polar code construction. A greedy construction is used to create the initial subset of a polar code. We dem...

Introduction: Polar codes are a major breakthrough in coding theory [1]. They can achieve Shannon capacity with a simple encoder and a simple successive cancellation (SC) decoder, both with low complexity of the order of ( ) N N log O , where N is the code block size. But for short and moderate lengths, the error rate performance of polar codes with the SC decoding is not as good as LDPC or tur...

Formation scenarios for polar ring galaxies are studied through N-body simulations that are compared with existing observations. It is shown that polar rings are likely to be formed by tidal accretion of the polar material from a gas rich donor galaxy. The distribution of dark matter in polar ring galaxies is studied: dark halos seem to be flattened towards the polar rings.

Sponges are the simplest multicellular animals that lack defense mechanisms and rely on chemical defense  that have been used by mankind to develop antimicrobial drugs against diseases.  The present study was designed to demonstrate the antibacterial and antifungal activities of marine sponge Dysidea pallescens semipolar and nonpolar extracts. In this study, D. pallescens were collected from He...

This study investigated the effects of solvents’ polarities on the geometry and electronic properties of 2-(2-nitrovinyl) furan, (NVF). The investigation was carried via theoretical approach, using an ab-initio [Hartree Fock (HF/6-31G*)] and Density Functional Theory (DFT/B3LYP/6-31G*).The properties investigated are optimized structures, energy gaps (ELUMO – EHOMO) and as...

We present a comparative study of the performance of various polar code constructions in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. A polar code construction is any algorithm that selects K best among N possible polar bit-channels at the design signal-to-noise-ratio (design-SNR) in terms of bit error rate (BER). Optimal polar code construction is hard and therefore many suboptimal polar c...
