Abstract Background and Aims The recurrence of IgA nephropathy (rIgAN) worsens the prognosis renal transplantation, representing third cause loss in these recipients. Several variables at time recurrence, such as worse function, greater proteinuria, previous steroid withdrawal, MEST-C histological findings have been associated with a higher risk graft after recurrence. presence clinical or subc...

a doublet of earthquakes with magnitudes of 6.5 and 6.2 in mw scale (global cmt) on 2010 december 20 and 2011 january 27 respectively struck the area that lies between the nehbandan and jiroft fault systems, southeast of iran. these earthquakes occurred in correspondence of the southwestern termination of the kahourak right lateral strike slip fault. the focal mechanisms of both the mainshocks ...

In vector model, the boundary between features is stored and shown categorically in an absolute way, in other words Membership or non-membership of a point in each polygon is known which can be 0 or 1. For showing real world and its projection on map, because of the uncertainty on the border of the boundary between phenomena and spatial data, there is some uncertainty and vagueness in drawing a...

The aim of this study was the reconfirmation of Quercus lusitanica extract as an antiviral compound against dengue virus type 2 (DV2) using conventional plaque assay technique. In vitro antiviral activity of Q. lusitanica extract was assessed in C6/36 cells employing virus inhibition assay. The result showed that Q. lusitanica extract, at its maximum nontoxic concentration of 0.25 mg/ml, comple...

Abstract Introduction: knowledge and understanding of the situation is necessary for planning to achieve optimal development that this identifying involves separating study regions to planning areas and evaluation of the separate regions by development indicators and analysis and ranking of each area in terms of having development blessings. This study aims to Stratification of Kerman Province ...

background: short golden time is important to save the injured in earthquake and to start search and rescue (sar) operation as soon as possible in affected regions. this study evaluated application of geographic information system (gis) for sar operation in rigan town, kerman province, which was hit by an earthquake of 6.3 richter scale on december 12, 2010 at 22:12. materials and methods: a gi...

in this study, we have theoretically investigated designing possibility of a seismometer using fiber bragg grating (fbg) and metal bellows pairs attached on a mechanical system. this new seismometer can record earthquakes according to sensitivity of fiber optic to changes in physical parameters such as stress and strain. firstly, in order to understand the quantity and quality of sensor perform...
