introduction: a strategic plan provides the context for improving organizational performance by accurate, extensive, and in-depth identification and analysis of interior and exterior environments. this study was performed to develop and execute a strategic plan at the medical sciences universities of iran. methods: this analytical and cross-sectional study was performed in 2012-2013. the study ...

A new series of peptide-like derivatives containing different aromatic amino acids andpossessing pharmacophores of COX-2 inhibitors as SO2Me or N3 attached to the para positionof an end phenyl ring was synthesized for evaluation as selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)inhibitors. The synthetic reactions were based on the solid phase peptide synthesis methodusing Wang resin. One of the analogues, i...

Sexual dimorphism in digit ration is related to genetic differences between species in response to prenatal exposure to hormones. In this study, the development of tetrapod digits, preliminary the ratio between the length of digit II and IV (2D: 4D) was investigated in 34 samples of Darevskia cholorogaster in the North of Iran. The results showed no significant differences between sexes in any ...

Flight planning is one of the essential factors airline operation. The selection routes will determine economic value flight. However, some conditions may prevent flight to use most optimum route due airspace restriction or weather condition. research aims develop a search engine program that uses dynamic parameters considers fusion System Wide Information Management (SWIM) data including and N...

The computing industry is rapidly moving from a programming to learning area, with the reign of von Neumann architecture starting fade, after many years dominance. new paradigms non-von architectures have started leading development emerging artificial neural network (ANN)-based analog electronic intelligence (AI) chipsets remarkable energy efficiency. However, size and advantages processing el...

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the dose calculation accuracy of EclipseTM treatment planning system (TPS) in a heterogeneous chest phantom with the intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) technique using EBT3 film and Delta4. Materials and Methods: Two IMRT plans (A and B) were prepared for radiotherapy of the heterogeneous chest phantom. Plan A was between the left lung and the surro...

BACKGROUND The two-dimensional phantom dose verification (2D-PDV) using hybrid plan and planar dose measurement has been widely used for IMRT treatment QA. Due to the lack of information about the correlations between the verification results and the anatomical structure of patients, it is inadequate in clinical evaluation. A three-dimensional anatomical dose verification (3D-ADV) method was us...

Objective: Detection and evaluation of adrenal glands are complex problems in conventional ultrasonography in dogs. Using three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography (US) in adrenal gland volume evaluation can add new potential for further adrenal studies. Design: Descriptive study Animals: a total of 10 mix breed dogs Procedures: The dogs underwent two dimensional (2D) and 3D US of the adrenal g...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we introduce the two-dimensional Legendre wavelets (2D-LWs)‎, ‎and develop them for solving a class of two-dimensional integro-differential equations (2D-IDEs) of fractional order‎. ‎We also investigate convergence of the method‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎we give some illustrative examples to demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the method.
