background: cytomegalovirus (cmv) disease is an important cause of death and possibly transplant rejection in kidney transplant (kt) patients. this study was conducted to investigate the incidence and risk factors of cmv disease in kidney transplant patients. methods: all end-stage renal disease (esrd) patients who underwent kidney transplantation during 1998-2014 and their donors were assessed...

background : cancer incidence rate is increasing in the world particularly in developing countries. the awareness regarding cancer incidence and distribution helps policy makers and researchers to design comprehensive plan for controlling cancer. the aim of this study was to determine the incidence rate and trend of cancer in yazd province, centeral iran. methods : data from yazd cancer registr...

background : hamadan is a province with high incidence rate of suicide. the present study was conducted to assess suicide and its associated risk factors in this province. methods : in this cross-sectional study, all cases of suicide occurred in the province, were investigated from april 2008 to march 2010. the data were collected from provincial health center and forensic medicine's databases ...

the investigation of this paper focuses on eastern part of shahroud fault system in middle-east alborz. this fault system is an important part in the seismotectonic map of the area. we used two local temporary dense seismological networks data installed around the fault system for several months during 2007 and 2008 and simultaneously micro-earthquakes data recorded by the permanent seismologic...

quantum dot cellular automata (qca) is one of the important nano-level technologies for implementation of both combinational and sequential systems. qca have the potential to achieve low power dissipation and operate high speed at thz frequencies. however large probability of occurrence fabrication defects in qca, is a fundamental challenge to use this emerging technology. because of these vari...

Quite recently, codes based on real field are gaining momentum in terms of research and applications. In high-performance computing, these codes are being explored to provide fault tolerance under node failures. In this paper, we propose novel real cycle codes based on expander graphs. The requisite graphs are the Ramanujan graphs constructed using incidence matrices of the appropriate projecti...

Much effort has been devoted to the development and empirical validation of object-oriented metrics. The empirical validations performed thus far would suggest that a core set of validated metrics is close to being identified. However, none of these studies control for the potentially confounding effect of class size. In this paper we show a strong size confounding effect, and question the resu...

studying active faults behavior for earthquake prediction and recognition is a concentrated subject in earth science. precise measurements of earthsurface deformation by geodetic observation provide a good reference for studying different geodynamic phenomena.  applying geodetic measurements in postseismic and interseismic intervals is an important tool for estimating strain accumulation and rh...
