in recent decades, the textile industry, one of the major industries in iran, has faced increasing challenges. these challenges are mainly due to unequal competition of internal firms with imported products, obsolescent machineries, lack of sufficient investment and etc. use of advanced countries’ experiences in this regard as well as providing required facilities has been the major solutions f...

This paper deals with the structural behaviour and strengthening of adobe vaults representative from historical buildings city Yazd, Iran. Eight destructive tests were performed on 1:3 scaled vault models by loading them at 30% span in loading–unloading cycles increasing vertical displacement. The tested considering both unstrengthened strengthened conditions, where consisted an externally bond...

In this experiment, the chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from Ferula assa-foetida oleo-gum resin collected from two different sites of Yazd province (Tabas and Yazd) in the center of Iran, were identified. The gas chromatography mass-spectroscopy (GC/MS) data showed that the qualitative composition of the components appeared to be constant in two different regions. Moreover, ...

t has been shown that stress can induce hyperglycemia in several animal models of type II diabetes (1). Cori theorized a link between the physiologic stress response and development of hyperglycemia. In his experiments with rabbits, Cori demonstrated that continuous infusion of epinephrine exacerbated hyperglycemia (2). Van Loon continued these researches by infusing beta endorphins intracister...

BACKGROUND Prehospital emergency medical services, a subsystem of Emergency Medical Services (EMS),provides early care to critically ill and injured patients in the field. Time is an important factor in pre-hospital care and the length of time it takes to reach care, has a significant impact on patient outcome. This study aims to calculate the response time in EMS stations of Yazd, Iran. METH...

BACKGROUND Northern Iran (Ardabil) is characterized by a high gastric cancer (GC) rate, whereas Southern Iran (Kerman and Yazd) has a low GC rate. The aim of this study is to verify the potential for pepsinogen I and II to detect atrophic gastritis (AG) in both high and low risk populations for GC. METHODS Sera of blood donors and patients with GC from Ardebil, Kerman and Yazd were used to me...

iabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine metabolic disorders. Dual endocrine deficits of impaired insulin action (insulin resistance) and inadequate insulin secretion create an environment of chronic hyperglycemia and general metabolic disorder (1). Development of novel medicine prototypes with systematic and intensive investigations of plants for new agents to treat diabetes mellit...

Gas turbines incur a loss of output power during hot seasons due to high ambient air temperatures, and input air cooling systems are often used to partly offset this problem. Here, results are reported for an investigation of the utilization of a heat pump to cool the inlet air of a gas turbine compressor. The analyses are carried out for two climates: the city of Yazd, Iran, which has a hot, a...
