In the rape case presented here, no semen, hair, or other biological evidence were left by the perpetuator at the crime scene or on the victim. The alleged assailant was arrested soon after the crime. A classical stain recovery technique using cotton swab moistened with sterile water was taken for recovering potential female epithelial cells and leukocytes deposited on the alleged assailant's p...

The second virial coefficients are given as a spherical-core contribution plus a series of nonspherical perturbation terms. A revised analysis is given of the effect of long-range nonspherical terms in the intermolecular potential on the second virial coefficient given by a preferred HFDIDl spherical core treatment of the integration for small intermolecular distances. This effect is consid...

amelogenesis imperfecta is a group of genetic disorders that affects both the morphology and quality of tooth structure. although the disease entity is primarily associated with abnormalities of dental and oral structures, it has been reported to be associated with a few syndromes. a 9-year-old girl with minor thalassemia referred to the department of pediatric dentistry of the mashhad faculty ...

background: deltamethrin (dm) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that can elicit neurotoxicity, and lead to apoptosis. there is accumulating evidence that oleuropein (oe) has anti-apoptotic effect. this study aimed at determining the dm toxicity and anti-apoptotic effect of oe pretreatment in cerebellar purkinje neurons. materials and methods: rats were randomly divided into four groups as f...

OBJECTIVES The study was done to determine the diagnostic accuracy of echocardiography alone in the preoperative diagnosis of children with major congenital heart defects undergoing primary complete repair. BACKGROUND Although echocardiography is well established as the first-line imaging technique for the diagnosis of all forms of congenital heart disease, most institutions continue to perfo...

A Non-light-of-sight (NLOS) mitigation approach based on GBSBEM was proposed in this paper. The main idea is to model the NLOS errors to the elliptical model and mitigate them with a novel method. At the first step, the semi-minor of GBSBEM is estimated, then a way to restrain the NLOS errors with the help of the semi-minor is used. When the semi-minor can not be estimated, an optimization meth...
