The Impulse Compton Profiles (CP’s) J(q) and the 〈pn〉− expectation values for some inert gas atoms(He-Kr) are computed and compared within the Harbola-Sahni (HS), Hartree-Fock (HF) theories and a Self Interaction Corrected (SIC) density functional model. The Compton profiles for excited states of Helium atom are also calculated. While the calculated CP’s are found to generally agree, they diffe...

In order to establish new infections HIV-1 particles need to attach to receptors expressed on the cellular surface. HIV-1 particles interact with a cell membrane receptor known as CD4 and subsequently with another cell membrane molecule known as a co-receptor. Two major different co-receptors have been identified: C-C chemokine Receptor type 5 (CCR5) and C-X-C chemokine Receptor type 4 (CXCR4) ...

Genetic variations within the species of Agropyron desertorum and 2 varieties of A. cristatum subsp. pectinatum var. imbricatum and A. cristatum subsp. pectinatum var. pectinatum were studied using morphological traits and total protein profiles (with sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis). An experiment was conducted in Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands (2012-201...

Nutrition has a significant effect on reproduction and lactation in Ruminant. Supply of require nutrient of dairy cows and ewes in early lactation is the main challenges that will be considered, since in most cases the animals facing negative energy balance after calving and the beginning of the period of lactation. Negative energy balance may sometimes result in reduced livestock production an...

Increasing of population in the world caused overusing natural resources and land destruction. Salinization and sodification are two effects of land destruction. Leaching of soil soluble salts is the most appropriate method to emend and reclaim saline and sodic soils. In this study, Examination of different leaching methods of saline from sodic soils has been evaluated in Veis Area in Khoozesta...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to use automated multiple retinal layer segmentation to compare retinal layer intensity profiles between different spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) devices with and without normalization. PATIENTS AND METHODS A graph-based multistage segmentation approach was used to identify 11 boundaries in horizontal SD-OCT B-scans ...

Cognitive dysfunction frequently occurs in aphasic patients and primarily compromises linguistic skills. However, patients suffering from severe aphasia show heterogeneous performance in basic cognition. Our aim was to characterize the cognitive profiles of patients with severe aphasia and to determine whether they also differ as to residual linguistic abilities. We examined 189 patients with s...

Developmental Dyscalculia (DD) has long been thought to be a monolithic learning disorder that can be attributed to a specific neurocognitive dysfunction. However, recent research has increasingly recognized the heterogeneity of DD, where DD can be differentiated into subtypes in which the underlying cognitive deficits and neural dysfunctions may differ. The aim was to further understand the he...

Cellular manufacturing systems (CMSs) are an effective response in the economic environment characterized by high variability of market. The aim of this chapter is to compare different configurations of cellular models through the main performance. These configurations are fractal CMS (defined FCMS) and cellular systems with remainder cells (defined RCMS), compared to classical CMS used as a be...

The genetic events leading the progression of midgut carcinoid tumors are largely unknown. The disease course varies from patient to patient, and there is a lack of reliable prognostic markers. In order to identify genes involved in tumor progression, gene expression profiling was performed on tumor specimens. Samples comprised 18 primary tumors, 17 lymph node (LN) metastases, and seven liver m...
