this study presents a new method for interpolation by use of copula for groundwater quality zoning. in this regard, the data of the concentration of bicarbonate in 87 piezometric wells on the plains of kerman and ravar in september 2013 were examined. for this purpose, four archimedean copula including clayton, frank, gumbel and joe have been used. then, the obtained results were compared to th...

important thermodynamic parameters including denaturant equilibrium m values (meq) and heat capacity changes (δcp) can be predicted based on changes in solvent accessible surface area (sasa) upon unfolding. crosslinks such as disulfide bonds influence the stability of the proteins by decreasing the entropy gain as well as reduction of sasa of unfolded state. the aim of the study was to develop ...

Abstract This work presents the preparation and investigation of blended nylon (N)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based polyelectrolytic membranes that are modified with different concentrations sulfuric acid (SA), chlorosulfonic (CSA), sulfonated activated carbon (SAC) as a filler. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs illustrated good membrane homogeneity, no cracks or phase separation were...

Transient splenial lesion (TSL) of the corpus callosum is associated with various disorders, including encephalitis, seizure and metabolic disturbances (1). We herein report a patient showing TSL after switching antiepileptic medications. A 46-year-old woman with epilepsy had been taking carbamazepine for decades. Asymptomatic hyponatremia (125 mEq/L) was detected, and carbamazepine was switche...

A childless 24-year-old housewife was admitted to hospital in May 1969. At Easter she had begun to develop generalized muscular pains and feelings of faintness. She then became increasingly depressed and subject to outbursts of tears, complained of lethargy, anorexia, and bouts of nausea and vomiting, and more recently had developed polyuria, thirst, and nocturia and a liking for salty food. Sh...
