in this paper, the concept of {sl local base with  stratifiedstructure} in $i$-topological vector spaces is introduced. weprove that every $i$-topological vector space has a balanced localbase with stratified structure. furthermore, a newcharacterization of $i$-topological vector spaces by means of thelocal base with stratified structure is given.

this paper aims to assess the application of support vector machine (svm) regression in order to analysis flexible pavements. to this end, 10000 four-layer flexible pavement sections consisted of asphalt concrete layer, granular base layer, granular subbase layer, and subgrade soil were analyzed under the effect of standard axle loading using multi-layered elastic theory and pavement critical r...

identification of host blood meal in haematophagous arthropods is an important element in their rule in transmission of vector borne diseases. the effects of post ingestion and physical conditions that killed mosquitoes are stored on the success of detecting blood meal dna of anopheles stephensi and culex quinquefasiatus was investigated by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) amplification at the h...

background : ticks are important vectors and reservoirs of crimean congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) virus. human beings may be infected whenever the normal life cycle of the infected ticks on non- human vertebrate hosts is interrupted by the undesirable presence of humans in the cycle. a total of 26 species of argasid and ixodid ticks have been recorded in iran; including nine hyalomma, two rhipi...

ba ckground: mosquitoes are well known as vectors of several disease causing pathogens. the extensive use of synthetic insecticides in the mosquito control strategies resulted to the development of pesticide resistance and fos- tered environmental deterioration. hence in recent years plants become alternative source of mosquito control agents. the present study assessed the larvicidal and ovipo...

background and aims: newcastle disease virus (ndv) is one of the major pathogen in poultry. vaccination is intended to control the disease as an effective solution nevertheless this virus is a growing threat to the poultry industry. f gene open reading frame (orf) from ndv is 1650 bp, encoding a protein of 553 amino acids that can induce protective immunity alone. the f glycoprotein on the surf...

background: water is considered as the main source of life but water resources are limited and nonrenewable. different factors have caused groundwater to decrease. therefore, modeling and predicting groundwater level is of great importance. methods: monthly groundwater level data of about 20 years (october 1991 to february 2012) from the hamadan-bahar plain, west of iran were used based on peiz...

in this paper, using clarke’s generalized directional derivative and di-invexity we introduce new concepts of nonsmooth k-α-di-invex and generalized type i univex functions over cones for a nonsmooth vector optimization problem with cone constraints. we obtain some sufficient optimality conditions and mond-weir type duality results under the foresaid generalized invexity and type i cone-univexi...
