This study aimed to investigate the potentiality of inflation-protected investments for investors in Iran. The objective present was applied, and methodology correlational, which an ex-post facto research design developed explore correlation between variables. Here this study, required data (e.g., time series pertaining total stock price index, housing, bond, gold, coin prices as well dollar un...

Soil conservation (SC) is an important ecosystem regulating service. At present, methods for SC mapping to identify priority areas are primarily based on empirical soil erosion models, such as the RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation) based model. However, the parameters of the empirical soil conservation model are based on long-term observations of field experiments at small spatial sca...

As today’s supply chain (SC) networks are globalized complex systems planning and optimizing SC processes is harder than ever. Unexpected deviations and disruptions can lead to devastating and far-reaching consequences. Hence, the management of SC risk (SCR) is of fundamental importance. The literature on SCR is, however, mostly of anecdotic nature; only few authors present empirical research. ...

Nonlinear mixed models were used to describe longitudinal scrotal circumference (SC) measurements of Nellore bulls. Models comparisons were based on Akaike's information criterion, Bayesian information criterion, error sum of squares, adjusted R2 and percentage of convergence. Sequentially, the best model was used to compare the SC growth curve in bulls divergently classified according to SC at...

Nerve damage, a characteristic of leprosy, is the cause of patient deformities and a consequence of Schwann cells (SC) infection by Mycobacterium leprae. Although function/dysfunction of SC in human diseases like leprosy is difficult to study, many in vitro models, including SC lines derived from rat and/or human Schwannomas, have been employed. ST88-14 is one of the cell lineages used by many ...

As females of many species mate with more than one male, ejaculates often face competition from the sperm of other males. In recent years, numerous papers have been published on theoretical predictions of evolutionary, behavioural and physiological responses to variation in the strength of sperm competition (SC). These theoretical predictions have also been extensively tested. However, although...
