hiv infection by maternal transmission is increasing in the world due to the increase in infected women who are not receiving appropriate antiretroviral therapy. prognosis of hiv infection in children is poor because the newborn has an immature immune system. early diagnosis and therapy are needed to avoid the development of aids. new therapies are becoming available but prevention of infection...

purpose: compaison of excyclotorsion induced by horizontal transposition of vertical rectus muscles versus vertical transposition of horizontal rectus muscles in rabbit eyes. methods: in this exprimental study, group 1 underwent full tendon nasal transposition of the superior rectus and full tendon temporal transposition of the inferior rectus (10 adult rabbits); group 2 underwent superior tran...

The water percolation loss beyond root zone in the soil is one of the important parameters to determine water requirement of rice plant. If the amount of water percolation rate into the soil is estimated more carefully, determination of water requirement will be evaluated better and designing for system of irrigation, drainage and related establishments will be more easily done. The purpose of ...

The velocity and temperature conditions in the space surrounding a single nozzle discharging hot pas vertically downwards on to a horizontal surface have been studied. Except at very loii exit velocities, the amount of recirculation to an intake situated on the axis of the jet is small. Within limits , the d;rnamic head at ground level at a point away .-,.>(0 i 'li-from the axis is indepenknl o...

Food-web population models are rather sensitive to parameterization of functional response in predation terms. Theoretical studies predict enhancing of ecosystems' stability for a functional response of sigmoid type (Holling type III). The choice of a correct type of response is especially important for modelling outcome of grazing control of algal blooms by zooplankton in nutrient-rich ecosyst...

statement of problem: some vertical changes might be observed during the first stage of orthodontic treatment, aligning and leveling. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate dental and/or skeletal vertical changes occurring in the first stage of preadjusted orthodontic treatment. materials and methods: fourteen patients with an average age of 14.1 years were selected for this study. prea...

damages due to northridge and kobe earthquakes were expressive of considerable effects of vertical components of earthquakes compared to the horizontal ones. on the other hand, thin steel plate shear wall is one of the newest resistant systems which until now it`s behavior haven’t been investigated under vertical component of earthquake. therefore, in this article, effects of vertical component...

background & aim: saffron (crocus sativus l.) formerly was important in turkey. saffron cultivation has been decreased and it is now only cultivated in three villages in this country. it is triploid and exclusively propagated in a vegetative way by corms. in turkey, saffron is traditionally planted by placing corms in rows randomly without grading or sorting; which results in placement of c...
