Abstract Introduction: not following safety tips during mobile radiography can bring about risks for nurses in ICU wards. Objective: the study aimed to determine the status of personal protection against radiation and its associated factors in nurses working in ICU wards of health care-educational centers affiliated with Guilan University of Medical Sciences in Rasht, Iran. Materials and Met...

Background: Breast milk is important for the overall well-being of infants. Although lactation is relatively robust in the face of poor nutrition, the implication of poor nutrition on non-nutritive factors in breast milk is inconclusive. Objective: This study was designed to find associations between nutritional and immune factors in maternal blood and breast milk with the aim to improve the ne...

Protection system failures have been recognized as major causes of expanded outages and thereby affect bulk power system reliability. With the rapid progress of smart grid technologies, legacy protection systems with hardwired architecture are being gradually replaced by computer and communication networks consisting of multi-functional and smart Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs). In this p...

East Coast fever (ECF) is a lymphoproliferative disease caused by the tick-transmitted protozoan parasite Theileria parva. ECF is one of the most serious cattle tick-borne diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa. We have previously demonstrated that three doses of the C-terminal part of the sporozoite protein p67 (p67C) adjuvanted with ISA206VG confers partial protection against ECF at a herd level. We ...

The present study is designed to explore the role of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the protection afforded by ischemic preconditioning (PC). We used TG mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of a Gbetagamma-sequestering peptide, betaARKct (TG betaARKct mice), to test whether the protection of PC is Gbetagamma-dependent. To test the role of G(i) protein, we used wild-type mice pretre...

In this paper, we propose a systematic method to achieve two-level unequal error protection (UEP) with generalized space shift keying (GSSK) modulation for multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) systems. GSSK is a modulation scheme that encodes the source information in the antenna indices. To enable the nonuniform arrangement of the spatial constellation of GSSK modulation, new techniques are ne...

the zagreb indices are the oldest graph invariants used in mathematical chemistry to predictthe chemical phenomena. in this paper we define the multiple versions of zagreb indicesbased on degrees of vertices in a given graph and then we compute the first and secondextremal graphs for them.
