considering high population and hot and arid climate in most cities in iran, creating optimum thermal comfort during the hot periods is necessary. an experiment was conducted to examine the effect of percentage vegetation and hard surfaces on changes of temperature, humidity and thermal comfort of in three urban sites and mashhad weather station was investigated. climate and recorded data from ...

Background: central loop of the gastrocnemius-soleus H-reflex latency (T c) that looks promising in the diagnosis of S1 radiculopathy; has been investigated in a few studies and only two of them have focused on the constitutional factors affecting it. Although leg length has been shown to contribute to the T c, the role of age is controversial. More confusing, none of the previously performed s...

SOURCE/DESCRIPTION: A 4.0 kb TaqI fragment of cosmid EFD64 isolated by a HBV-3 oligonucleotide (1) was subcloned into AccI site of pUC18. POLYMORPHISM: Mspl identifies 5 allelic VNTR polymorphism with bands between 2.6 and 4.6 kb. Rsal, TaqI, EcoRI, BamHI, Hindlll and Pvull identify the same VNTR polymorphism. FREQUENCY: With Rsal, 80 % heterozygosity were observed in 80 unrelated Caucasians. N...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common severe autosomal recessive disease in Caucasoid population caused by mutations CF transmembrane regulator ( CFTR ) gene. However, course of may be modulated genetic factors other than gene and pleiotropically influenced VDR Vitamin D Receptor The aim study was to search for associations between variants (c.1206T>C(A>G), c.152T>C, c.1174+283G>A...

This study includes 47 normal subjects and 25 hemophilia B patients without inhibitor(s), showing different factor IX coagulant activity and antigen levels. Genomic DNA, digested with various restriction endonucleases, was hybridized with two different factor IX probes, ie, the cDNA and the subgenomic probe for the intragenic TaqI polymorphic site. cDNA restriction patterns suggest absence of g...

SOURCE/DESCRIPTION: A 4.1 kl) TaqI fragment from cosmid EFD145 was subcloned into the AccI site of pUC18. POLYMORPHISM: Rsal identifies a two allele polymorphism (Rl : 2.4 kb, M2 : 1.4 and 1.0 kb) with a constant band at 0.9 kb. TaqI also identifies a two allele polymorphism (Tl : 5.0 kb, T2 : 4.1 kb) without a constant band, but this observation has not been verified by pedigree studies. FREQU...

In the west of Scotland use of a single intragenic restriction fragment length polymorphism (F9(VIII)/TaqI) allowed definitive genetic counselling for 45% of females at risk of being carriers for haemophilia B. Two further intragenic RFLPs, F9(VIII)/XmnI) and F9(VIII)/DdeI, have been applied to this population and by using all three polymorphisms the carrier status could be determined in 68% of...
