This paper proposes the RT-Middleware for robot system integration. “RT” means “Robot Technology” which is applied not only to industrial field but also to nonindustrial field such as human daily life support systems. We have studied modularization of RT elements and have developed software platform RT-Middleware which promotes application of RT in various field. Robotic system development meth...

We evaluated the use of a newly described sodC-based real-time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for detecting Neisseria meningitidis in normally sterile sites, such as cerebrospinal fluid and serum. The sodC-based RT-PCR assay has an advantage over ctrA for detecting nongroupable N. meningitidis isolates, which are commonly present in asymptomatic pharyngeal carriage. However, in our st...

Despite routine vaccination programs against Newcastle disease (ND), sporadic cases have occasionally occurred that remain a constant threat to commercial poultry. Ten isolates of Newcastle disease viruses (NDV) from infected broiler chicken cases were obtained from various locations in Fars province during 2009-2011 and genetically analyzed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction...

soybean mosaic virus (smv) which belongs to the virus family potyviridae, causes a disease in soybean that is present in soybean-growing areas of the world, and is widely distributed in northern iran. detection of smv is very important for disease management. in the present study several serological and molecular (nucleic acid- based) methods of rapid virus detection were compared. serological ...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of endurance (ET), resistance (RT) and concurrent training (CT) on plasma levels of visfatin, insulin, glucose and insulin resistance of non-athlete men with Obesity. It was a semi-experimental study. Thirty six men [age: 21.48 (0.25), and BF%: 27.39 (0.52)], voluntarily participated in this study after public announcement in univer...
