The understudied Black-tailed toad agama, Phrynocephalus maculatus maculatus, (Anderson, 1872) belongs to the Agamidae family. Iranian specimens are rare in collections and are distributed in the central and south-eastern deserts of Iran. In this research, biological studies including food habits, morphology, behaviors and habitats of these species were performed from April to September, 2013. ...

The molecular status of nine species of the genus Alburnoides from different river drainages in Iran and additionally by seven species from Europe was assessed. mtDNA COI gene sequences from freshly collected specimens and available NCBI data revealed four major phylogenetic lineages. Based on the results, a distinct taxon from the Cheshmeh Ali (Ali Spring), a Damghan River tributary in the end...

There are many effective chemotherapeutic agents used in influenza disease which some of them inhibit virus replication by interfering with FluV (influenza virus) viral binding or its penetration into cell membrane. A series of polyoxometalates compounds such as POM-523 and PM-504 have been synthesized and have showed inhibitory effects on viruses. In this study we examined anti influenza activ...

The measurements of Ra, Th and K using gamma spectrometry and radon concentration and exhalation rates measurements using solid state nuclear track (LR-115, Type-II plastic) detectors are used to asses a first order exposure risk for the persons residing in Fatehbad and Hissar districts of Western Haryana, India. The concentration of Radium, Thorium and Potassium in the soil samples varies from...

Objective: The prevalence of leukemia is known to vary throughout the India. The observed geographic variation in incidence remains unexplained as yet. Previous studies have shown important differences in geographic, racial/ ethnic, age and trend patterns for different leukemia subtypes. Thus, suggesting that subtypes may have different etiologic factors. So, an attempt was made to find out geo...

in order to identify the prevalence of parasitic intestinal infections and to determine the impact of some factors, such as age, health houses, education, environmental health etc, on infection, this survey was carried out on 461 stool specimens and scotch tapes obtained from children resident in day-care centers in damghan city, semnan province, iran. the samples were tested using formalin-eth...

Abstract High Mountain Asia (HMA) glaciers are critical water reserves for montane regions, which readily influenced by climate change. The glacier mass balance during 2000–2021 over HMA was estimated comparing the elevations from ICESat-2 and NASADEM. Radar penetration depth could be one of intrinsic error sources in estimating using Therefore, we doubled elevation differences between X-band S...
