the cotton aphid, aphis gossypii glover is a major pest of greenhouse cucumber in the world. in this study, age specific functional response of aphidius matricariae haliday and praon volucre (haliday) were investigated on a. gossypii at 25±1°c, 60±5% rh and a photoperiod of 14 l: 10 d h. the results showed that the functional response of a. matricariae was type iii during 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and...

the present study aims to investigate the association between emotional-functional evelopment and formation of creative thinking among children of 4-6 years old in mashhad city. to do this, 80 children and their mothers were selected from preschools of mashhad city based on cluster sampling method.  the level of creativity among children was measured through torrance test of critical thinking (...

the present work reports the detailed b3lyp/6-311++g(d,p) study of most stable transand cisconfigurations photoisomerization in the core system of computational photochemistry-the 5,5'-disubstituted-1,1'-azobis (tetrazole) molecules. all computations were carried out in gas phase attemperature 293.15 k and pressure 1 atm. firstly; the potential energy surface (pes) of the groundstate ...

background: today investing about the role of contributing emotional factors in etiology and treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders was an interesting subject for many researches. the purpose of the present study was to assess the relationship between emotional intelligence and somatization in patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders. materials and method: this study was ...

abstract           introduction: genetic variations in the gene encoding endothelial nitric oxide synthase (enos) enzyme affect the susceptibility to cardiovascular disease. identification of the way these changes affect enos structure and function in laboratory conditions is difficult and time-consuming. thus, it seems essential to perform bioinformatics studies prior to laboratory studies to ...

background: the safety of rehabilitation centers is of great importance to ensure the well-being of patients. the present study aimed to determine non-structural and functional vulnerability of state rehabilitation centers of tehran city welfare organization in disasters using national standard instruments in 2014. materials and methods: this study has a descriptive and cross-sectional design. ...

this study was conducted to evaluate the age-specific functional response of psyllaephagus zdeneki noyes & fallahzadeh (hymenoptera: encyrtidae) at different nymph densities of olive psyllid, euphyllura pakistanica loginova (hemiptera: psyllidae). due to parasitoid behaviour of feeding and parasitizing the host, both traits were separately explored on a daily functional response. results of...

proteins are not only considered as a nutritional source but also are responsible for a number of functional properties such as solubility, emulsification, foaming capacity and gel formation in food products. however, insolubility of the proteins (as can be seen in gluten) and therefore their insufficient functional properties have created some limita-tions for their incorporation in formulated...

in this paper we introduce the concept of topological number for locally convex topological spaces and prove some of its properties. it gives some criterions to study locally convex topological spaces in a discrete approach.

despite its numerous potential applications, two-dimensional monolayer graphyne, a novel form of carbon allotropes with sp and sp2 carbon atoms, has received little attention so far, perhaps as a result of its unknown properties. especially, determination of the exact values of its elastic properties can pave the way for future studies on this nanostructure. hence, this article describes a dens...
