introduction: the information recorded in medical sheets can help us facilitate the treatment process, recognize the quality of performance of the medical staff, plan health care programs and make accurate and appropriate decisions. this study intends to compare the quality of recording information in admission and summary sheets of three hospitals in isfahan in the first six months of 1381. ma...

Ozone is well established as an important oxidising agent in many industrial applications and the high-voltage pulsed streamer discharge technique has emerged as an efficient method for its production. The paper investigates the parameters that are important in this process, including the magnitude of the applied pulse voltage, the air flow rate and the electrode dimensions and spacing, when us...

Shape computation in design is never purely limited to visual aspects and ideally includes material aspects as well. The physicality of designing introduces a wide range of variables for designers to tackle within the design process. We present a simple design exercise realised in four stages where we physically manipulate perforated cardboard sheets as a case to make material variables explici...

Arahidopsis thaliana plants were stably transformed with DNA encoding green fluorescent protein and with sequences ensuring retention in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Confecal laser scanning microscopy shows fluorescent ER in many cells of seedlings so a]lowing developmental changes to be documented. The arrangement of the cortical ER changes as cells mature in the hypocotyl and root epidermi...
