Since the advent of Islamic Revolution in 1979 and due to foreign exchange controls by the Central Bank of Iran, the black market value of the Iranian rial had declined substantially as compared to its official value. In several articles published in professional journals I have first identified factors which has caused the rial to decline. I have then investigated the impact on Iranian economy...

The main aim in this study was to collect the experiences of Iranian researchers about sulfur mustard (SM) and provide a guideline for the prevention of abuse for this dangerous agent. We searched valid national and international databases using related key words in the two languages. We found 193 articles which had been published in medical journals. Among them, 25 articles had some implicatio...

Knowing the importance of this kind of research in generating therapeutic evidence, many clinical researchers in developing countries including Iran are getting involved in performing clinical trials. Authors performed a quick search in ISI Web of Knowledge database (May 2008) which shows interesting res...

To obtain the SVA objective from the parametric MJP model, we begin by scaling the exponential distribution f(t;λ) = λ exp(−λt), which is an exponential family distribution with natural parameter η = −λ, log-partition function ψ(η) = − ln(−η), and base measure ν(dt) = 1 [1]. To scale the distribution, introduce the new natural parameter η̃ = βη and log-partition function ψ̃(η̃) = βψ(η̃/β). The new ...
