During a period of 2 years we prospectively studied 116 infants up to 8 weeks of age with suspected sepsis. Each infant was assessed clinically before laboratory evaluation for sepsis. Depending upon impression of sepsis, temperature abnormality, micro ESR (mESR), WBC counts and toxic granulations infants were assigned to either high (n = 74) or low (n = 31) risk group for serious bacterial inf...

introduction dominant process in arid and semi-arid region is dynamic of wind that carries the sand and caused damage to several facilities and human settlements. there are many human settlements with low population and mostly small and scattered in different parts of foothills of dasht-e lut (lut desert), especially in mountainous margins of alluvial fans. residential and cultivation area of t...

The aim of the CIMPA-ICTP-UNESCO-MESR-MICINN-PAKISTAN Research School on Local Analytic Geometry at Abdus Salam School of Mathematical Sciences, GC University Lahore, Pakistan (organized by A. D. Choudary, Alexandru Dimca and Gerhard Pfister) was to introduce the participants to local analytic geometry and related topics. A basis of the course was the book entitled Local Analytic Geometry (cf. ...

the kashan erg is one of the most important sand dune complexes in iran. being affected by wind erosion, theerg's borderlands face numerous problems as a result of sand movement. to evaluate the risk of sands moving intoresidential areas near the kashan erg, anemometry data from synoptic stations located in kashan, ardestan, meimeh,naeen, and qom were collected and analyzed to calculate the san...

wind regime and sand grain size are two of the factors that determine the morphology and dynamics of sand dunes in desert areas. regarding the importance of wind effects on sand dunes especially in iran, in this study, khartooran erg was analyzed to determine wind direction and to detect sand source sites. khartooran erg is located on eastern north of iran and lies in khorasan razavi and semnan...

purpose: to determine normal values of standard full field electroretinography (erg) and to evaluate variation with age in an iranian population. methods: the amplitudes and implicit times of ergs from 170 normal subjects aged 1 to 80 years were recorded according to the international society for clinical electrophysiology of vision. study participants included subjects who refered to our clini...
