Among agricultural products in Iran, pistachio is one of the major export products that can produce foreign currency. The present study evaluated factors affecting pistachio export earnings instability and its effect on agricultural export during the studied period. For this purpose, export earnings instability index was calculated using "average absolute difference between export earnings and ...

The presence of van der Waals (vdW) force can lead to mechanical instability in freestanding nano-scale actuators. Most of the previous researches in this area have exclusively focused on modeling the instability in actuators with one actuating components. While, less attention has been paid to actuators consist of two actuating components. Herein, the effect of the vdW force on the instability...

most theories in social sciences have aspects of causality, but understanding the causes of social phenomena is not possible through statistical correlation tests. to overcome this problem, fuzzy qualitative comparative analysis was developed to identify the cause of social phenomena. having qualitative roots, this method tests the necessary and sufficient causes for the emergence of a social p...

abstract   background: the polymorphic variants at codon 72 of the p53 gene, encoding either proline or arginine at residue 72, produce marked change in the structure of p53. from the evidence that the dnamismatch repair system and p53 interact to maintain genomic integrity, we hypothesized that the codon 72 variation may influence the prevalence of microsatellite instability a feature of malig...
