shortage of water in arid and semiarid regions of the world can reduce growth and production of medicinal and aromatic plants, especially mentha species. in order to evaluate response of mint species to water deficit stress, an experiment was carried out using a completely factorial-randomized design with five replications at college of agriculturae, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. the fa...

abstract background ulcerative colitis (uc) is characterized by recurrent episodes of inflammation limited to the mucosal layer of the colon. calprotectin is a zinc and calcium binding protein derived from neutrophils and monocytes. it is easily detectable in tissue samples, body fluids, and stools, which makes it a potentially valuable marker of inflammation. the aim of the current study is to...

Abstract Controversy exists regarding the association between Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA), iron status, and Febrile Convulsion (FC) during childhood. In this article, a systematic review and meta-analysis is conducted in order to determine possible association and the degree of association between these statuses and FC. To identify all studies related to IDA and FC, various references such as ...

electric arc furnaces (eafs) are unbalanced, nonlinear and time varying loads, which can cause many problems in the power system quality. in steel industries, the two arc furnaces often perform in parallel and stand on a single bus, which surely deteriorate the power quality. in this paper, in order to study and analyze the harmful effects of parallel operation of eafs, first, a three phase arc...

The sensitivity of regional climate model simulations to domain size and position is becoming increasingly important for generating reliable scenarios. In this study, the Central America CORDEX (CCA) at 50 km horizontal resolution with a relaxation zone 10° around boundaries (CCA+) was taken as basis increase in RegCM4.4 model. low-level circulation precipitation patterns over America, western ...
