The Asmari Formation was deposited in the foreland basin of southwest Iran (Zagros Basin). Carbonate sequences of the Asmari Formation consist mainly of large benthic foraminifera along with other skeletal and non-skeletal components. Three assemblage zones have been recognized by distribution of these large foraminifera in the study area that indicate Oligocene age (Rupelian-Chattian). Absence...

in order to study of biostratigraphy and age dating of kazhdumi formation, based on planktonic foraminifera and correlation of identified biozones with global standard biozones, this formation at tang-e-maghar have been studied. in this study 73 samples of kazhdumi formation, with 270 meter thickness, have been collected. the main lithological units at the studied section consist of the black b...

Background Left ventricular (LV) trabeculation is highly variable between individuals, and prominent trabeculation, or non-compaction, has been considered to be evidence of abnormal cardiac development. The significance of increased trabeculation in asymptomatic healthy individuals with preserved LV systolic function is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine if excessive LV trabeculati...

OBJECTIVE Numerous studies show changes in vulnerability to false memory formation across development and into senescence. No study, however, has compared false memory formation in the critical transition period spanning late adolescence to middle adulthood. METHOD Using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm, we explored the effects of age and of emotion on false memory formation in you...

dalichai formation at the rey-abad section (northeast shahroud) along the principal road of the mayamey-jajarm has a thickness of 166 meters .in this section, middle to upper jurassic carbonate rocks are well exposed and is typically composed of massive to medium-bedded limestones with thin shale interbeds. in the studied area and most places of this region, the lower boundary of dalichai forma...

abtalkh formation is a part of late cretaceous sedimentary unit in the kopet- dagh basin, ne iran. this study deals with the study of this formation in the eastern parts of the basin in padeha village. it thickness is about 991m, and lithologically consists of grey, greyish to blue shale and marl. the lower contact with abderaz formation is conformable and transitional, but the upper boundary w...

Chronic systemic inflammation induces age-dependent differential phenotypic changes in microglia and astrocytes, yielding an anti-inflammatory cell phenotype in young rats and a proinflammatory cell phenotype in middle-aged rats. These observations prompted further investigation of the functional outcomes of the resultant differential microglial phenotypic changes. The present study examined th...

OBJECTIVES Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the most common pathogens of otitis media (OM) that exists in biofilm, which enhances the resistance of bacteria against antibiotic killing and diagnosis, compared to the free-floating (planktonic) form. This study evaluated biofilm formation by S. pneumoniae on an abiotic surface and in the middle ear cavity in a rat model of OM. METHODS In vitro...

Mauddud member with the age of late Albian to Cenomanian is equivalent to the lower Sarvak formation in the southern Persian Gulf and adjacent area. In this work, microfacies, depositional environment, and diagenetic processes affected the Mauddud member in a field in the Persian Gulf are investigated. Based on the studies of available cores and thin sections of 3 wells, five types of microfaci...
