the gold standard to assess jaundice in neonates is the serum bilirubin measurement. blood sampling for the determination of total serum bilirubin (tsb) is painful for newborns and stressful for parents. the bilicheck®, a new transcutaneous bilirubinometer, is considered as a more accurate measurement of bilirubin compared to the previous bilirubinometers courtesy of its advanced technology. th...

Background: Febrile seizures are one of the most common neurological conditions of childhood. It seems that zinc deficiency is associated with increased risk of febrile seizures.Aim: To estimate the serum Zinc level in children with simple Febrile seizures and to find the correlation between serum zinc level and simple Febrile seizures.Materials and Methods: The proposed study was a hospital ba...

the present study compared simple thermal indices and the indices derived from energy budget models in the northwest of iran. for this purpose, the air temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, cloud, cover and wind speed of 13 meteorological stations in the northwest of iran during the  the period of 1986 to 2007 were selected for comparison. the results which were extracted using biokl...

In a hydroelectric power plant or in a pumping station in order to avoid sudden large increase of pressure due to instantaneous valve closure sometimes a surge tank is installed. The height of surge tank is designed by the highest possible water level during the operation. The theoretical treatment of oscillation in a surge tank is difficult because of the non-linearity of friction term in the ...

the genetic diversity among 56 almond (prunus dulcis) genotypes was analysed using 35 microsatellite markers and 14 morphological traits. analysis of morphological traits revealed a wide range of variation among the studied genotypes. out of 35 simple sequence repeats (ssrs) markers, 25 were polymorphic, producing 215 alleles that varied from 2 to 16 with an average of 8.76 alleles per locus. r...

Abstract The problem of the reliability ammunition storage environment is a hot topic in field modern military research, and key to find out main factors that affect sensitive components. Grey relational entropy analysis method can order influencing factors, but it can’t judge influence size correlation. Pearson analyze linear correlation better. Therefore, this paper proposes for complex probl...

in order to study morphological traits, yield and yield components of 34 hybrids of corn, an experiment was carried out based on of randomized complete block design with three replications under normal irrigation condition in khorasan razavi agricultural research and natural resources center, mashhad, iran on 2009. results of analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences b...
