Antibody detection is the most versatile and commonly used method for measles diagnosis. Detection of specific IgM antibodies in a single serum specimen collected within the appropriate time after rash onset can provide a good presumptive diagnosis of current or recent measles infection and is the test of choice for rapid diagnosis of measles cases. So, optimal timing for collection of a sing...

This paper contains a strain gradient theory to capture size effects in rotating nanodisks of variable thickness under thermal and mechanical loading. Material properties of nanodisks have been taken homogeneous material. The strain gradient theory and the Hamilton’s principle are employed to derive the governing equations. Due to complexity of the governing differential equation and boundary c...

Based on length frequency data of miter squid ( Uroteuthis chinensis ) collected in the northeastern South China Sea 1975–1977, 1997–1999, and 2018–2019, asymptotic length, optimal at first capture, relative mortality, biomass stock were estimated using length-based Bayesian estimation (LBB). The LBB-estimated for 2018–2019 was smaller. Optimal lengths capture later far exceeded average catches...

background: since most clinical treatments of persian children’s language impairments are based on either the therapist, clinicians’ experiences (mostly), or english language norms (sometimes), comparing two minor indices of speech quality, namely “mean length of utterance” (mlu) and “mean length of five phrasal utterances” (mlfpu) between different age groups of children, would be unequivocall...

This study was conducted to examine morphometric and meristic characteristics alongside pigmentation patterns of bream larvae, Abramis brama orientalis, in four stages of larval development. Morphological characters including total length (TL), standard length (SL), notochord length (NL), head length (HL), head depth (HD), eye diameter (ED) and mouth width (MW) were examined from hatching time ...

concerning purpose of man’s creation there, at least, can be two viewpoints. first, man has no purpose but to participate in the competition of gathering wealth, reaching high ranks in the society, and taking power ignoring all human virtues and principles, as if he would live for good and death would never capture him. this is the practical conduct of human beings in general. the second is tha...
