The study was carried out with 38 collected garlic (Allium sativum L.) cultivars from 3 important garlic production area in Iran (Zanjan, Hamadan and Mazandaran). The cloves were planted in 30 × 30 cm pots in control conditions (average temperature: 20 °C and 60 % RH). Randomized complete block design with 3 replications was conducted. The bulbing characteristics such as bulb weight, bulb circu...

‎In this paper, a new class of fuzzy sets called fuzzy strongly ${{g}^{*}}$-closed sets is introduced and its properties are investigated. Moreover, we study some more properties of this type of closed spaces.

OBJECTIVES To determine if the International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society (ISN/RPS) 2003 classification of lupus nephritis (LN) is helpful in predicting renal outcome. METHODS A total of 92 patients with LN who underwent renal biopsy in our hospital were re-classified according to the ISN/RPS 2003 criteria. RESULTS The mean patient age was 36.8 yrs and the median observatio...

We study a new dynamic of generalized networks of queues. We consider networks with multiple classes of customers and signals, and three types of service disciplines: FIFO, LIFO/PR and Processor Sharing. Moreover, we consider a probabilistic deleting mechanism based on iterated deletions of customers according to an arbitrary list of service stations. We prove that these networks have a steady-...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral cell membrane proteins of relevance for pharmacology. The complete tertiary structure including both extracellular and transmembrane domains has not been determined for any member of class C GPCRs. An alternative way to work on GPCR structural models is the investigation of their functionality through the analysis of their primary structure. For ...

We consider multiple class G-networks of processor sharing queues with negative customers which destroy all the customers in a queue. We prove that these networks have a product form solution for steady-state distribution. These networks may have some applications in reliability or performability as the negative customers may clearly model breakdown of computer or communication systems. We also...

Let  $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $I$ be an ideal of $R$. We say that $I$ satisfies the persistence property if  $mathrm{Ass}_R(R/I^k)subseteq mathrm{Ass}_R(R/I^{k+1})$ for all positive integers $kgeq 1$, which $mathrm{Ass}_R(R/I)$ denotes the set of associated prime ideals of $I$. In this paper, we introduce a class of square-free monomial ideals in the polynomial ring  $R=K[x_1,ld...

Let G be a simple graph with vertex set and edge set   V G   E G . An edge coloring C of G is called an edge cover coloring, if each color appears at least once at each vertex   v V G  . The maximum positive integer k such that G has a k edge cover coloring is called the edge cover chromatic number of G and is denoted by . It is known that for any graph G,   c G    1 c G      ...

Selective expression of the human class Ib HLA molecule HLA-G in immunologically protected sites and its function in the inhibition of NK and T-cell effector functions support an important role of this molecule in immunoregulation. Here, we demonstrate that HLA-G is constitutively expressed in the endocrine compartment of the human pancreas. Surface expression of this HLA determinant in endocri...
