The present research aims to assess the potential use of the Norway rat, Rattusnorvegicus as a bio-indicator for lead and cadmium accumulation in 10 urban zones in Tehran, the metropolitan city, Iran. During April to May 2014 we collected twenty adult Norway rats from the different predefined zones. By referring to the air pollution data collected over 15 years, the sampling areas were detected...

this essay aims to put forward a new explanation of “sârt” problem from an iranian viewpoint. its main focus is to represent those signs which could be helpful to introduce sârt people as inheritors of old iranian culture of central asia. to attain this purpose it has been organized in four parts; the first part discussed with the history of russia’s rule over the region and its dealing with in...

Background: Due to geographic conditions, Indonesia has gotten exposed sun rays consistenly for the whole year. Besides, Many parts of Indonesian coastline are open areas while at same time there's not much place take shelter caused exposure become more frequent. This condition puts people around coasts high risk Age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
 
 Content: AMD is a chronic eye...

Vertical distribution of zooplankton biomass and abundance, copepod taxonomic composition and species diversity were analyzed at eight stations during an oceanographic expedition along the Straits of Malacca. Samples were collected in vertical hauls (140 μm mesh using 45 cm diameter NORPAC net) from four depth strata. Zooplankton biomass was higher at 10-20 m depth in the central and southern p...

We present a new version of TaylUR, a Fortran 95 module to automatically compute the numerical values of a complex-valued function's derivatives with respect to several variables up to an arbitrary order in each variable, but excluding mixed derivatives. The new version fixes a potentially serious bug in the code for exponential-related functions that could corrupt the imaginary parts of deriva...

We present an extensive analysis of low-energy, electroweak precision, and cosmological constraints in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with Gauge-Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking (GMSB) and including the possibility of Non-Minimal Flavour Violation (NMFV). Using detailed scans over the parameter space, we show how NMFV allows to relax the stringent constraints excluding large pa...
