The fundamental differences between the leading-order jump conditions, often assumed at a flame sheet in combustion theory, and the actual effect of a chemical reaction that satisfies Arrhenius kinetics with a finite activation temperature, need to be understood. These differences are “higher order” in terms of a large activation temperature analysis. However, they do provide a quantitative est...

The Fusarium mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEN) can be conjugated with polar molecules, like sugars or sulfates, by plants and fungi. To date, the fate of these modified forms of ZEN has not yet been elucidated in animals. In order to investigate whether ZEN conjugates contribute to the total ZEN exposure of an individual, ZEN (10 µg/kg b.w.) and equimolar amounts of two of its plant metabolites (ZEN-...

abstract the whole blood potassium concentration has shown the bimodal distribution in sheep, which has been classified into lk and hk types; hk allele is recessive to lk with a single gene inheritance. this polymorphism showed different behavior in different environment, which could be due to adaptation process. this research was conducted on the zel and kermani breed research station, which k...

Foreseeing the era of high spatial resolution measurements of the Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effect (SZE) in clusters of galaxies, we present a prototype analysis of this sort combined with Chandra X-ray data. It is applied specifically to RX J1347–1145 at z = 0.451, the most X-ray-luminous galaxy cluster known, for which the highest resolution SZE and X-ray images are currently available. We demonstra...

selective signatures in whole genome can help us to understand the mechanisms of selection and to identify the genomic regions that have been under natural or artificial selection during long years. the objective of this study was to identify the genomic regions that have been under artificial and natural selection in baluchi and zel sheep breeds. 143 sheep from baluchi (n=96) and zel breeds (n...

in shallow foundations, the third bearing capacity factor, n, has been found to show a decreasing tendency with increasing the foundation size. it is supported by experimental observations and related mainly to stress level dependent nature of the soil. on the other hand, the bearing capacity is often obtained theoretically without consideration of the foundation vertical displacements. in thi...

genotypes of iranian zel sheep for calpastatin(cast) locus were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) and polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (pcr-sscp) methods and for calpain(capn) locus by pcr-sscp. blood samples were collected from 200 purebred zel sheep of zel breeding station located in golestan province i...
