infection is one of the important causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. it has been reported that poorly controlled patients are more susceptible to infection, hence we examined the chemiluminescence of leukocytes from insulin dependent diabetic patients in response to a soluble (phorbol meristate acetate) and particular stimulus (opsonized zymosan). the patients were divided ...

system designs, optimizing resource allocation to organization units, is still being considered as a complicated problem especially when there are multiple inputs and outputs related to a unit. the algorithm presented here will divide the frontiers obtained with dea. in this way, we investigate a new approach for resource allocation.

land mines are one of the tragic problems to human security in many countries. among many techniques suggested detecting landmines, plant-based detectors can be used as a reliable tool for unexploded ordnance detection. this study was conducted to determine different concentrations effect of trinitrotoluene (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 and 60 ppm) on germination and early seedling growth of 6 spec...

let be a stationary sequence of pair wise negative quadrant dependent random variables with survival function {,1}nxn?f(x)=p[x>x]. the empirical survival function ()nfx based on 12,,...,nxxx is proposed as an estimator for ()nfx. strong consistency and point wise as well as uniform of ()nfx are discussed

in this paper, we extend and generalize some recent results on the strong laws of large numbers (slln) for pairwise independent random variables [3]. no assumption is made concerning the existence of independence among the random variables (henceforth r.v.’s). also chandra’s result on cesàro uniformly integrable r.v.’s is extended.

reduced differental transform method (rdtm), which isone of the useful and effective numerical method, is applied to solve nonlinear time-dependent foam drainage equation (fde) with different initial conditions. we compare our method with the famous adomian decomposition and laplace decomposition methods. the obtained resultsdemonstrated that rdtm is a powerful tool for solving nonlinear par...

the microscopic and geomechanical properties of igneous building stones include the level of alteration, presence of micro cracks, peak strength, porosity, proportion of detrimental minerals, etc. porosity is reportedly of a devastating impact on the peak strength of igneous rocks. the quartz diorite rock samples in this study were selected from five quarries in natanz, iran and subject to micr...

objective(s):   zinc oxide nanoparticles (znp) are increasingly used in sunscreens, biosensors, food additives and pigments. in this study the effects of znp on liver of rats was investigated.     materials and methods: experimental groups received 5, 50 and 300 mg/kg znp respectively for 14 days. control group received only distilled water. alt, ast and alp were considered as biomarkers to ind...
