muhammad baqir is probably the most important of a group of post safawid painters, who practiced a highly eclectic style. decorative floral compositions which were widly used for lacquer- work from the later safawid period onwards, also become a popular genre in 12th century h. persian painting. muhammad baqir also has produced floral design and composition. owing to the building programs conne...

Domestication greatly increases phenotypic variation in a short time span, with selection for a single phenotype and a plethora of associated phenotypic changes as an outcome of the process. The domestication process influences the underlying genomic architecture of a species, and the success and speed of the process is likely influenced by it. The main aims of my thesis was to study how domest...

This dissertation presents new signaling schemes and circuit architectures for reducing the power and cost of high-speed chip-to-chip links. After an overview on chip-to-chip interconnects and its building blocks, a new signaling scheme is proposed that can provide many advantages of a fully-differential signaling scheme while employing as few as N + 1 signal paths for communicating N different...

It has been argued that simple conceptualizations of usage are inadequate for understanding and studying use of complex information technologies. In this paper we contend that quality of use, instead of the dichotomy of use versus non-use, is appropriate for understanding the extent to which a complex information technology is being used. An inductive case study of the implementation of a compl...

introduction tekieh lead-zinc ore deposit that is located in the sanandaj-sirjan structural zone has been recognized as one of the most important mineralized regions in malayer-isfahan metallogenic sub-state, south east of arak (momenzadeh and ziseman, 1981). carbonate host units have been developed along (or across) the vishan-tekieh anticline as the main structure extended in nw-se trends (an...

Many biological processes rely on specific protein-protein interactions, for example immune responses, cell signaling, transcription, and blood coagulation. Blood coagulation is initiated when a vessel wall is damaged, exposing tissue factor (TF) to the circulating factor VII/factor VIIa (FVII/FVIIa) which results in the formation of the TF:FVIIa complex and thereby the initiation of blood coag...

Organic materials, such as conjugated polymers, have emerged as a promising alternative for the production of inexpensive and flexible photovoltaic cells. As conjugated polymers are soluble, liquid based printing techniques enable production on large scale to a price much lower than that for inorganic based solar cells. Present day state of the art conjugated polymer photovoltaic cells are comp...
