in order to study biostratigraphy of the surgah formation in zagros sedimentary basin, two subsurface sections of this formation in maleh kuh and sarkan oil fields at pol-e-dokhtar area, lorestan province, have been selected. the thickness of surgah formation at maleh kuh and sarkan, was 82 and 46 meters respectively and is composed of shale with intercalation of limestone and calcareous shale....

In this research, 12 species of Agaric Fungi including, Agaricus arvensis, A. bisporus, Coprinus comatus, C. sterquilinus, Lentinus tigrinus, Inocybe griseovelata, I. subnudipes, I. terrifera, Leucoagaricus carneifolius, L. leucothites, Volvariella volvacea,and Volvupluteus gloiocephalus belonging to Agaricaceae, Inocybaceae, Pluteacae, and Polyporaceae were identified from Kermanshah and Harsi...

The carbohydrate antigen, sialyl Le x, is known to be a ligand for the cell adhesion molecule called ELAM-1 (E-selectin, endothelial cell leukocyte adhesion molecule-l), which is present on cytokine-activated human endothelial cells. Recently, we reported that another carbohydrate antigen, sialyl Le a, can also serve as a ligand for ELAM-1 (A. Takada, K. Ohmori, N. Takahashi, K. Tsuyuoka, K. Ya...

  The underlying mechanisms leading to the development of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) in HTLV-I infected individuals are not fully understood. Host genetic factors appear to be involved as risk factors for developing HAM/TSP. We investigated the possible contribution of interleukin-10 (IL-10) as a risk factor to HA...

OBJECTIVES From the ancient era, emergence of Agriculture in the connecting region of Mesopotamia and the Iranian plateau at the foothills of the Zagros Mountains, made Iranian gene pool as an important source of populating the region. It has differentiated the population spread and different language groups. In order to trace the maternal genetic affinity between Iranians and other populations...

kuh-e-siah is located in the north of gavkhuni lagoon and east of the varzaneh (se of isfahan) and is a part of urumieh-dokhtar magmatic arc (udma). the volcanic rocks of this area are vesicular basalt and basaltic andesite with late miocene age. the most common textures of these rocks are porphyry, microlitic porphyritic, hyaloporphyric and vesicular. plagioclase, olivine and clinopyroxene are...
