background: this study aims to investigate the patterns of bioaccumulation and depuration of copper in the selected kidney and liver of capoeta fusca. methods: the fish were collected between september and november 2010 from a qanat in birjand. they were exposed to two types treatments with copper (0.25 and 0.75 mg/l) for a period of 41 days. the fish under study were exposed to the above-menti...

objective: successful bonding of a dental implant to bone, which was referred to as osseointegration by branemark has been well documented. however, long-term prognosis of an implant depends on adequate maintenance and long-term care. an effective maintenance program is required to preserve the health of peri-implant tissues. several techniques have been suggested for this purpose but it is not...

In many organisms, memory after training can be separated into a number of processes. We now report that separable memory processes are also initiated by a training procedure affecting Aplysia feeding behavior, a model system for examining the neural mechanisms underlying the regulation of a complex behavior. Four distinct memory process were identified: (1) a very short-term memory that declin...

Session variability in speaker recognition is a well recognized phenomena, but poorly understood largely due to a dearth of robust longitudinal data. The current study uses a large, longterm speaker database to quantify both speaker variability changes within a conversation and the impact of speaker variability changes over the long term (3 years). Results demonstrate that 1) change in accuracy...
