BACKGROUND The association between sickness presence (SP), sickness absence (SA) and health is not well known although research on these phenomena has grown in recent years. AIMS To identify the health outcomes of different combinations of self-reported SP and SA while controlling for background and work-related factors. METHODS The study group was a representative three-wave sample of 1886...

the aim of this study was to develop a methodology to identify suitable habitat of the eurasian nuthatch (sitta europea) at kheyrood forest, northern alborz, iran. this study was carried out during spring to summer 2008. with attention to the area and topographic condition of kheyrood forest, patom, namkhane, gorazbon, cheler and baharbon were selected as data collecting series. the present stu...

on the basis of experimental data a kinetic model for the heterogeneous interaction between alkylperoxyradicals and organic compounds in langmuir- hinshelwood approach at room temperature has been offered.the effect of oxygen on the kinetics of process in the presence, [o2]o = 1 x 1011 – 1.6 x 1012 molecules.cm-2, and absence of oxygen has been analyzed. over time the chain degenerate branching...

The interaction between nano-SiO2 and lysozyme was investigated by the method of UV-Visible  detection and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. The thermal denaturation of lysozyme has been investigated in the presence and absence of nano-SiO2 over the temperature range (293-373) K in different buffers and pH values, using temperature scanning spectroscopy. The presence of nano-SiO2 caused th...
