In Chaharborj, a village in north-eastern ofthe Islamic Republic of Iran, a high prevalence of congenital blindness (1.1%) has been reported. The clinical findings have not been fully described. We therefore assessed the clinical aspects of this condition in a case series of 20 congenitally blind patients and 24 of their parents. All patients had been blind since birth. There was anterior segme...

Abstract The total content of rare earth elements (REEs) and the their oxalate-soluble fraction were studied in four soil profiles (Gleyic Umbrisols, Albic Gleyic Folic Retisols (Raptic), Dystric Retisol) Central Forest Nature Reserve. REE was normalized to a local standard (the Russian Platform clay), cerium europium anomalies quantified [8]. In addition initial redistribution REEs during form...

A systematic regional geochemical stream sediment survey for base metals copper, lead, and zinc over an area of 200 sq.km was carried out around Wapsa in Solukhumbu District. samples were collected from active streams analyzed them using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) method. All chemical analysis data interpreted with geostatistical inverse distance weighing (IDW) multivariate interpolat...

Multicomponent contaminant transport models in groundwater are typically based on assumptions of local geochemical equilibrium on the grid scale. In heterogenous systems there may be significant coupling between transport processes and geochemical equilibrium at smaller than grid block scale. When these processes are upscaled to grid scale, geochemical evolution may take on a kinetic character....

We show that the discrepancy between observed value of muon anomalous moment and standard model prediction can be explained in framework nonlocal theories. compute leading order next to correction magnetic $\alpha_{NL}$ we find it depends on nonlocality scale $M_f$ fermion mass $m_f$ as $\alpha_{NL} \propto m_f^2/M_f^2$. Such a dependence momentum allows explain, flavor-blind scale, why electro...

Background: Proteins of various compositions are required by organisms inhabiting different environments. The energetic demands for protein formation are a function of the compositions of proteins as well as geochemical variables including temperature, pressure, oxygen fugacity and pH. The purpose of this study was to explore the dependence of metastable equilibrium states of protein systems on...

The geochemical discriminate diagrams help to distinguish the volcanics recovered from different tectonic settings but these diagrams tend to group the ocean floor basalts (OFB) under one class i.e., as mid-oceanic ridge basalts (MORB). Hence, a method is specifically needed to identify the OFB as normal (N-MORB), enriched (E-MORB) and ocean island basalts (OIB). We have applied Artificial Neur...
