normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: the h-reflex is a useful electrophysiological procedure for evaluating the status of the peripheral nervous system, especially at the proximal segment of the peripheral nerve. the purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between triceps surae h-reflex and m- response latencies and thigh length in normal population, in order t...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa carotid body tumor (cbt) is paraganglioma and mainly found in the carotid bifurcation. the manifestations of the tumor are variable; in most cases, it presents as a non-symptomatic slow-growing mass, rarely compression of carotid body induces bradycardia and hypotension and repeated syncope, prolonged syncope can cause convulsion. convulsive syncope...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: increased pro-inflammatory factors, metabolic profile and biomarkers of oxidative stress during pregnancy have been associated with development of several complications. to our knowledge, no reports are available indicating the effects of vitamin d supplementation on serum hs-crp, metabolic profile and bio markers of oxidative stress amo...

sizing of paperboard has a distinctive position in packaging grade paperboard material. optimization of sizing by alum-rosin at neutral ph in 4 layered paperboard (330 g/m2) wereevaluated in this study to find the optimum ratio of alum- rosin loading in the process. fixed amount of 1% cationic dispersed rosin together with alum as a fixing agent at 5 different levels of 1, 1.5, 2, 3, and 4% (ba...

in this research, nanoporous silica (sba-15) was physically functionalized using2-(2-nitrobenzylideneamino) guanidine compound. this functionalized sba-15 was utilized as a new sorbentfor separation and preconcentration of some lanthanide ions. inductively coupled plasma optical emissionspectrometry (icp-oes) was used as a detection technique. the preconcentration factor of the method is 100and...

precise application of the n fertilizer rate is critical to achieve maximum yield. in major regions, empirical methods were used for determining n fertilizer requirement. these methods cannot take into account variation in management and environmental conditions on determining fertilizer requirement. crop simulation models can provide an alternative means of determining the optimum crop n requi...

low seed germination and seedling emergence is one of the main problems in saline areas. seed priming technique has been known as a challenge to improve germination and seedling emergence under different environmental stress. the objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of seed priming with gibberellin, nacl and water on seed germination and seed reserve utilization and germination...

1. introduction isfahan oil refinery (isfahan, iran) is responsible for the production of huge amounts of oil waste. as the released organic compounds are highly toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic, they can potentially contaminate the soil and groundwater resources of the adjacent area. this is particularly important in isfahan where arid/semi-arid climate has limited the access to adequate sur...

introduction earth has ever been exposed to environmental hazards. the hazards are continually occurring in the world in the recent years. among them, atmospheric elements have created many human and financial losses in different regions. one of the hazards is dust events and in its severe case is dust storm. it happens more frequently in arid and semiarid regions in deserts and their surroundi...
