The activity and efficacy of Iranian synthesized imidocarb dipropionate (imidorazi) has been tested against Babesia ovis infection in experimentally and naturally affected sheep. The results indicated that the drug is effective and could be used for treatment of sheep and goats babesiosis. The effectiveness of imidorazi is also similar to the imizol (imidocarb dipropionate) imported from abroad.

phytoplasmal big bud is one of the important diseases of tomato (lycopersicon esculentum) in the world. the disease has been reported from iranian provinces of bushehr, isfahan, fars, khorasane razavi and ardabil. during a summer surrvey in 2010, symptoms of big bud disease was observed in tomato fields of dorood area in lorestan province. characteristic symptoms of the disease were small thick...

The solar neutrino problem, atmospheric neutrino problem and the hot dark matter which seems to be required by galaxy formation can all be most economically described by three very degenerate neutrinos with a common mass of a few eV. Such neutrino masses could also be relevant for the recent data on double beta decay. We provide an existence proof for such a scenario by constructing an explicit...

We investigate the properties of a simple programming language whose main computational engine is structural recursion on sets. We describe a progression of sublanguages in this paradigm that (1) have increasing expressive power, and (2) illustrate robust conceptual restrictions thus exhibiting interesting additional properties. These properties suggest that we consider our sublanguages as cand...

One of the research goals of the field of human computer interaction is to make interacting with a computer as natural as interacting with a person. In pursuit of this goal, this thesis demonstrates a system that understands naturally conveyed explanations of mechanical devices in a way that traditional tools do not support. When using a traditional mechanical CAD program, for example, the desi...

Jim Harter, Animals: J4J9 Copyright.Free lUustralions. olmes Rolston Ill's New York: Dover, 1979 Environmental Ethics1 is a wide-ranging work containing many valuable insights and suggestions. But his account of the human treatment of animals2 is seriously confused. It contains arbitrary distinc­ tions which serve as an apologetic for the status quo in our society. In this paper I explain the p...

China leads the world in afforestation, and is one of the few countries whose forested area is increasing. However, this massive "greening" effort has been less effective than expected; afforestation has sometimes produced unintended environmental, ecological, and socioeconomic consequences, and has failed to achieve the desired ecological benefits. Where afforestation has succeeded, the approa...
