the central alborz mountains of northern iran (figure 1) is a zone of intense active continental deformation and is the most heavily populated region of iran, including the mega-city of tehran with a population of over 10 million. the region is affected by numerous active faults, some of them having great seismic potential, and documented historical seismicity. hence, the central alborz is a pr...

It is well documented that blood neutrophils from parturient dairy cows do not perform as well as neutrophils from nonparturient cows in laboratory assays of adhesion, migration, or phagocytosis-induced respiratory burst. However, little is known about the possible molecular basis for parturition-induced changes in neutrophils. cDNA microarray analysis was used in the current study to explore p...

Anat Sakov, Ilan Golani, Dina Lipkind, Yoav Benjamini Tel Aviv University Abstract In recent years, a growing need has arisen in different fields, for the development of computational systems for automated analysis of large amounts of data (high-throughput). Dealing with non-standard noise structure and outliers, that could have been detected and corrected in manual analysis, must now be built ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the mortality trends for lung cancer, cancer of the trachea, and bronchial cancer in relation to gender and age brackets in Brazil. METHODS Data related to mortality between 1980 and 2003 were collected from the Brazilian Mortality Database. A trend analysis of mortality was carried out, nationwide and in selected states, using the LOWESS technique for rate smoothing and...

amplitudes of seismic waves decrease with distance according to anelastic properties of the earth and geometrical spreading. the attenuation of ground-motion amplitudes in the frequency domain is an important problem in engineering seismology. it is of particular practical interest in the regions such as zagros (iran). the zagros fold- thrust belt, as a part of alpine- himalayan orogenic belt i...

Statistics show that in many countries of the world holidays are associated with an increase morbidity and mortality; this is especially pronounced during New Year Christmas period. This article presents estimate excess number deaths Russia January 2011–2019 by main classes causes death age groups. The study relies on Rosstat dataset 16.83 million individual non-personalized records referring t...
