In the past decade, the investment in fisheries development has grown remarkably in the Persian Gulf region. A 1800 km of northern coastline of the Persian Gulf, the Oman Sea and more than 14 islands belong to Iran have provided great possibilities of economic activities. In-shore marine islands such as Kish, Farour, Hendurabi, Tonb made a good opportunity for fishing and harvesting of ornament...

We investigated transport systems for tri-iodothyronine (T(3)) and thyroxine (T(4)) in the human choriocarcinoma cell line, JAR, using a range of structurally similar compounds to determine whether these thyroid hormones are transported by common or different mechanisms. Saturable T(3) but not saturable T(4) uptake was inhibited by a wide range of aromatic compounds (nitrendipine, nifedipine, v...

The synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the title compound (phen)Pb(02CMe) is described. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 /c, a = 7.823(3), b = 12.421(4), c = 9.262(2) ?, ? = 79.92(3)", Z = 4, yielding R 0.048 for 3210 independent reflections. The coordination number around the lead atom is six. [Pb-N 2.54(2), 2.56(4)],[Pb-0, 2.19-2.22]

The flow behavior around a cam shaped tube in cross flow has been investigated experimentally using flow visualization and pressure distribution measurement. The range of attack angle and Reynolds number based on an equivalent circular diameter are within 0 ≤ α ≤ 360˚ and 2 x 104 < Reeq < 3.4 x 104, respectively. The pressure drag features are clarified in relation to the flow behavior around t...

This paper presents an intelligent scissoring operator for meshes. Unlike common approaches that segment a mesh using clustering schemes, we introduce a method that concentrates on the contours for cutting. Our approach is based on the minima rule and part salience theory from cognitive theory. The minima rule states that human perception usually divides a surface into parts along the concave d...

We report the discovery of a star-forming loop around the young, Crab-like supernova remnant (SNR) G54.1+0.3 using the AKARI infrared satellite. The loop consists of at least 11 young stellar objects (YSOs) embedded in a ring-like diffuse emission of radius ∼ 1. The YSOs are bright in the mid-infrared and are also visible in the Spitzer Space Telescope Galactic plane survey images. Their Spitze...

AIM One of the clinical presentations of intracranial aneurysm is unilateral oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP). The most common location is the posterior communicating artery. Surgical clipping and/or endovascular coiling of the aneurysm are the treatments. The aim of this study was to identify the factors that influence the postoperative recovery of patients who have posterior communicating aneurys...

In this study, the behavior of a subject consisting of a cylinder with 4 plates perpendicular to it with a rotational degree of freedom under airflow both through the numerical approach, known as improved discrete vortex and experimental approach were investigated. The experimental and numerical results have shown that oscillating regime occurs in low velocity and length. This movement is vibra...
