Food borne diseases are considered as the major problems for public health in the world and salmonella serotypes are the most important pathogens causing these types of diseases. Present study was carried out for the isolation of salmonella and determination of their antibiotic sensitivity and serovars from local, industrial and breeder poultry eggs. In this cross-sectional survey, 300 samples ...

sustainable architecture is known as an important strategy in recent years and all around the world are cooperating to achieve this by use of natural elements. there are many examples of residential buildings in iran s past and its traditional architecture that the architecture in the interim of paying attention to aesthetic issues and preserving the natural environment acts in a way that meets...

Neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies have indicated that global and local features of a visual scene are processed differentially by the two hemispheres. Although visual selective attention is suggested to play a role in the hemispheric asymmetry, the precise mechanism of attentional control for the global-local processing is not fully understood. We investigated the neural correlates of...

The Disease Control Priorities (DCP) publications have pioneered new ways of thinking about investing in health. We agree with Norheim, that a useful first step to advance efforts to translate DCP’s global evidence into local health priorities, is to develop a clear Theory of Change (ToC). However, a ToC that aims to define how global evidence (DCP and others) can be used to inform national pol...

We investigated the functional anatomy involved in sustaining or switching visual attention between different perceptual levels, using functional imaging measures of neural activity. Two experiments were carried out using hierarchically organized letters (i.e. large letters made out of small letters). In a divided-attention task, subjects were required to switch attention between local and glob...

This study investigated the individual differences of lightness filling-in on illusory contour figures with regard to the attention to figures; namely, to which information of hierarchical figures, the global information or the local information, subjects tended to allocate their attention. Subjects participated in a preliminary experiment to divide into a global group and a local group. The gl...

Background: With the increasing concern for health and nutrition, dietary fat has attracted considerable attention. The composition of fatty acids in the diet is important because they are associated with major diseases including cancers, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The fatty acid synthase (FASN) and stearoyl-CoA desaturase (delta-9-desaturase) (SCD) genes affect fatty acid compositio...

This paper addresses key theoretical and methodological challenges that have been raised regarding the use of neuroscience in organizational research. In doing so, we present the results of an fMRI study that integrated theories of attention and intentional change in proposing that coaching interactions focused on the Positive Emotional Attractor state (PEA) would be associated with big picture...
