We devise a scheme for solving an iterative sequence of linear programs (LPs) or second order cone programs (SOCPs) to approximate the optimal value of semidefinite and sum of squares (SOS) programs. The first LP and SOCP-based bounds in the sequence come from the recent work of Ahmadi and Majumdar on diagonally dominant sum of squares (DSOS) and scaled diagonally dominant sum of squares (SDSOS...

Background and purpose: The performance of full-scale moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) was evaluated as an alternative for upgrading of Kish Island Mirmohana wastewater treatment plant. In this study activated sludge process upgrade to MBBR process and different operating parameters were compared. Materials and Methods: Effect of upgrading on different parameters such as organic loading rate (...

Urban morphology as “knowledge of urban form”, has notable capacities to participate in comprehension and management of urban development, specially in this days cities have faced with unprecedented changes that create problem for cities inhabitants in perception and creation of cities image and also have confronted designers with a serious question to control and guide new constructions. Use o...

AHMAdi, M. R., H. R. GHAisARi: Heat stress and different timed-Ai methods influence on pregnancy rates of dairy cows. Vet. arhiv 77, 327-335, 2007. ABsTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate three synchronization fix timed-AI protocols throughout the year on one commercial dairy farm in a semi-arid zone. Mean temperature-humidity indices (THI) were 77.5, 84.9, 70.8 and 58.8 in spring,...

Islamshahr high school students of statistical group was concise of 320 girls and boys that were selected by classification randomly selective method that boy students are 218 and girl stud...

Historically, much of the theory and practice in nonlinear optimization has revolved around the quadratic models. Though quadratic functions are nonlinear polynomials, they are well structured and easy to deal with. Limitations of the quadratics, however, become increasingly binding as higher degree nonlinearity is imperative in modern applications of optimization. In the recent years, one obse...

ing this work to humans. First, we do not know whether the molar concentration of CD3 is similarly limiting for the expression of transgenic human TCRs. If CD3 is indeed limiting, then the enhanced expression and functionality we achieve by cotransfection of CD3 and TCRs may be accompanied by enhanced toxicity. Thus, enhanced expression may increase the risk of mispairing of endogenous and tran...

Background: Tinea capitis is predominantly a disease of preadolescent children. Although worldwide in distribution, an increase in its prevalence in Kuwait has recently been reported, particularly in children. Tinea capitis frequently spreads among family members and classmates. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of tinea capitis among elementary school children of Al-Ahmadi ...
