this study conducted during 3 years period (2002-2004). tick sampling was randomly carried out from domestic animals during seasonal activity of ticks from six provinces of iran. 2170 ticks from 151 cattle , 629 sheep, 336 goats and 32 camels were collected proin 30 prosseces with a mean number of 1.9 tick per animal. 209 dermacentor ticks collected from six provinces( kordestan, ardebil, east ...

This paper presents a novel data mining technique, known as Post Sequential Patterns Mining. The technique can be used to discover structural patterns that are composed of sequential patterns, branch patterns or iterative patterns. The concurrent branch pattern is one of the main forms of structural patterns and plays an important role in event-based data modelling. To discover concurrent branc...

The freshwater polyp Hydra produces buds which separate from the parent. Other Hydrozoa produce branches which remain connected to the parent, thus forming a colony. Some Hydrozoa grow by means of an organ that is like a shoot apical meristem. Others display a sympodial type of growth. In this article, I propose that these different types of branches are organized by a common pattern-forming sy...

A Monte Carlo simulation exploring uncertainties in standard stellar evolution theory on the red giant branch of metal-poor globular clusters has been conducted. Confidence limits are derived on the absolute V -band magnitude of the bump in the red giant branch luminosity function (MV,b) and the excess number of stars in the bump, Rb. The analysis takes into account uncertainties in the primord...

Our main aim was to study the mylohyoid nerve, but during cadaveric dissections an unnamed branch of the lingual nerve was encountered incidentally. Dissections of sublingual and pterygomandibular spaces on 13 cadavers preserved in formalin showed an unnamed branch present bilaterally in 11 specimens, which had not been identified before in any of the anatomical textbooks. The branch extended h...

Conditional branches frequently exhibit similar behavior (bias, time-varying behavior, ...), a property that can be used to improve branch prediction accuracy. Branch clustering constructs groups or clusters of branches with similar behavior and applies different branch prediction techniques to each branch cluster. We revisit the topic of branch clustering with the aim of generalizing branch cl...
