BACKGROUND Pasteur Institute of Iran was established in 1919 with the aim to produce vaccines and prevent communicable diseases in Iran. Over time, their activities extended into areas of research, education and services. Naturally, such a vast development begs establishment of a comprehensive management and monitoring system. With this outlook, the present study was carried out with the aim to...

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is advocated as the major supporting technology for the next generation wireless Internet satisfying the needs of anywhere-anytime broadband Internet access. In order to support secure ubiquitous communications for mobile users, WMN must have an efficient key setup procedure to secure control packets as well as data packets. In this paper we apply four different cryp...

Hypertension (HTN) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) affecting more than a quarter of the world’s adult population. The aim of this survey was to determine the prevalence of HTN, pre-HTN, and awareness of HTN in an Iranian population, and to assess the factors associated with HTRN and preHTN. The MASHAD study started in 2010 and will continue until 2020. The demograph...

The tremendous growth of the Internet coupled with newly emerging applications has created a vital need for multicast traffic support by backbone routers and ATM switches. Considerable research work has been done on Input Queued (IQ) switches to handle multicast traffic flows. Unfortunately, all previously proposed solutions were of no practical value because they either lack performance or wer...

As buffer-less crossbar scheduling algorithms reach their practical limitations due to higher port numbers and data rates, internally buffered crossbar (IBC) switches have gained a lot of interest recently due to their great potential in solving the complexity and scalability issues faced by their buffer-less predecessors. The IBC switching architecture combined with the virtual output queueing...

INTRODUCTION Attention to the needs of the elderly is a social necessity, and it seems that evaluating the social network and quality of life of the elderly can be useful in a better understanding of their needs. This study was performed to determine the relationship between the social network and the quality of life of the elderly in the city of Bojnoord in Iran. METHODS In this cross-sectio...
