Background: Pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and polymorphisms of their genes have been described to be involved in the pathogenesis of recurrent miscarriage (RM). Objective: To investigate the association between RM and five polymorphisms of cytokine genes, interleukin 10 (IL-10), (-592 A/C, -819 C/T, -1082 A/G), IL-6 (-174 C/G) and IL-17 (-197 G/A) in Iranian women. Method: Po...

This research is aimed to define , (1) the effects of refrigerant to the environment, (2) derive the eco friendly refrigerants by using software REFPROP, (3) describe the properties of refrigerant by mixing them in appropriate percentage, (4) reducing GWP and ODP by providing suitable substitute of CFC’s and HCFC’s refrigerants, (5) reducing the effect of refrigerant to the ODP. This analysis i...

[1] A new centennial-scale Mg/Ca temperature record from the California margin (ODP Site 1017E) reveals large millennial-scale oscillations between 10 to 60 kyr. This record indicates that sea surface temperature on the California Margin warmed rapidly on the deglacial by 7.4 0.8 C, and was preceded by a pre-Bølling temperature oscillation of 2.6 1.2 C. Millennial-scale events of the last glaci...

This paper reports on applying the ODP enterprise viewpoint in the domain of tele-education. The work is conducted as part of a research activity that aims at designing a tele-education system to support planning, execution and evaluation of dynamic distributed educational processes. We explore the ODP enterprise viewpoint as a basis for communication and co-operation between educational scient...

Recent onshore New Jersey drilling (Ocean Drilling Program Leg 150X) provided excellent recovery of lower to middle Miocene sequences that we dated with Sr isotopic stratigraphy. Sequence boundaries correlate with deep-sea dO increases (inferred glacioeustatic lowerings), indicating a primary control by global sea-level change. Maryland Miocene outcrops appear to correlate with New Jersey seque...
