our plankton and semi-plankton collections from twelve floodplain lakes (beels) of majuli river island, upper assam reveal 124 rotifer species (32 genera and 17 families); these merit biodiversity value as ~52.0% and ~30.0% of species, ~68.0 and ~45.0% of  genera and ~74.0 and ~65.0% of the families of the phylum known from northeast india (nei) and india, respectively. two species are new to i...

there is very little information about the mosquito fauna of mahshahr district. the present study gives an overview of data on the species composition and distribution of mosquitoes in the mahshahr district, khuzestan province, southwest of iran. in order to study the mosquito fauna, the samples were collected from may to november 2012 using dipping and total catch methods from seven village...

despite having some useful properties, stainless steels suffer from lack of suitable surface hardness. in this research electroless ni-b-tl coating was used with the aim to increase their surface hardness. the effects of nickel chloride, sodium borohydride, thallium nitrate and ethylendiamin on the chemical composition of coating were studied. to achieve an increase in hardness, the effects of ...

effects of partial docking on feedlot performance and body fat characteristics were studied in a fat-tailed sheep breed. thirty-eight male lambs with an average weight of 4.44 ± 0.48 were randomly divided into two groups. the lambs in one group were partially docked at 3-4 h after birth, using rubber rings, and the lambs in another group remained intact (control). after weaning, 20 male lambs f...

tea might be considered as the most popular drink in iran as well as some other parts of theworld. its popularity to some extent depends on its flavor and some other constituents present in its leaves orextract. black tea samples from various agro climatic zones of northeast of iran were evaluated for the chemicalconstituents, polyphenols and metal analysis that determine the quality perception...

abstract: the significance of financial performance of companies makes factors affecting it significant. as a mixed-method research, this paper aimed at investigating the effect of human resources composition in of an organization and the management stability on the financial performance of the organization. first, based on the grounded theory, the indices of human resources composition were id...

We improve current visual component composition environments by introducing composition patterns as first class objects that can be defined, stored and reused independently of the components. We document both components and composition patterns using an extended sequence diagram notation. For a component, typical usage protocols are specified while a composition pattern specifies how a set of r...

Ahead of the multiplication of specialized applications, needs for application composition increase. Each application can be described by a pair of a visible part –the User Interface (UI) –and a hidden part –the tasks and the Functional Core (FC). Few works address the problem of application composition by handling both visible and hidden parts at the same time. Our proposition described in thi...

The success of component-based development has been impeded by interoperability concerns, including component model, semantic, syntactic, design and platform incompatibilities, that often come into play when composing two or more independently developed components. In this paper we propose a CoCo composition model that elevates compositions to first class citizenship status. The model defines a...
