the investigation and determination of the significance of neovascularization in the progression of soft tissue sarcoma is currently of increasing clinical importance. microvessel density is the morphologic evidence of neoangiogenesis in the process of malignant progression of sarcomata. this brief review of the markers commonly used in clinical practice was undertaken to determine the validity...

background: systemic candidiasis is a major complication in neutropenic cancer patients undergoing treatment. most systemic fungal infections emerge from endogenous microflora so the aim of the present study was to identify candida species isolated from the different regions of body   in neutropenic patients in compare with the control group. methods: a total of 309 neutropenic cancer patients ...

desert truffles, hypogeous pezizales (ascomycota), are difficult to identify due to evolutionary convergence of morphological characters among taxa that share a similar habitat and mode of spore dispersal. in this paper we document the presence of picoa lefebvrei (pat.) maire (=phaeangium lefebvrei) in iran and use phylogenetic analysis of the its and 28s rdna to show that this species belon...

corrosion of reinforcing steel and other embedded metals is the main cause of severe deterioration in reinforced concrete structures which subsequently imposes adverse effects on ultimate and serviceability limit state performance of the whole structure. in this paper, a new corrosion detection method for reinforced concrete beams, based on wavelet analysis is presented. to evaluate the capabil...

conclusions to avoid unfair competition and to assure consumers of accurate labeling, using this method is recommended for regulatory agencies. results the limit of detection of cow’s milk in buffalo’s milk, yogurt and cheese is 1, 2 and 4%, respectively. undeclared presence of cow’s milk was detected in 70% of the milk samples, 64% of the yogurt and 52% of the cheese samples. in 10% of the yog...

Knowledge of the distribution of rare segments across the languages of the world might be used in identifying languages within an open set. Segments which are both discriminatory (i.e. rare) and robust (i.e. easy to identify) are the best targets for efficient language identification. Considering several properties at the same time allows to use more common segments and/or features in a still v...
