the study area, paykola anticline, is located in the southwestern part of kermanshah province. the aim of this research is to evaluate the geomorphological indexes of active tectonics in paykola anticline as well as to study the effect of tectonic in the form and direction of geomorphological landforms. to achieve the aim of study, the lithological and tectonic characteristics of study area wer...

Stochastic matrix factorization (SMF) has proposed and it can be understood as a restriction to non-negative matrix factorization (NMF). SMF is useful for inference of topic models, NMF for binary matrices data, and Bayesian Network. However, it needs some strong assumption to reach unique factorization in SMF and also theoretical prediction accuracy has not yet clarified. In this paper, we stu...

A novel optical coupling scheme that uses a lensed fiber integrated with a long-period fiber grating (LPFG) is proposed. Two experiments are performed to demonstrate the validity of such a scheme in single-mode-fiber-single-mode-fiber (SMF-to-SMF) and laser-diode-single-mode-fiber (LD-to-SMF) coupling setups. The measured results show that for an appropriate lens radius the addition of a LPFG w...

Power over fiber (PoF) with sleep mode operation in centralized radio access networks (C-RAN) of low power Remote Radio Heads (RRH) helps to reduce consumption. This proposal includes bundles single optical fibers (SMF) as part the 5G C-RAN front-haul solution for providing control on consumption by selectively activating some parts RRH. We experimentally demonstrate a PoF system based 14.43 km...

Reductions in estrogen function lead to adiposity and peripheral insulin resistance. Significant metabolic changes have been found in adipocytes and skeletal muscle with disruptions in the estrogen-signaling axis; however, it is unclear if intercellular communication exists between these tissues. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of isolated adipocytes cocultured with single a...

The aim of this study was to explore the influence of a moderate static magnetic field (SMF) of different densities on Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida that are commonly found in wastewater treatment plants. In line with literature reports that SMF increases the efficiency of wastewater treatment the findings of this study indicated that SMF negatively influenced the growth but positivel...

Rats suffering from adjuvant arthritis (AA) were used to examine the effect of a static magnetic field (SMF) upon pain relief. Rats were divided into SMFtreated AA rats, non-SMF treated AA rats and control rats. Following SMF stimulation, we measured blood flow volume in the paw and then reactive speed response to thermal stimulation. The AA groups exhibited significantly lower blood volume and...

In several bacterial species that show natural transformation, dprA has been described as a competence gene. The DprA protein has been suggested to be involved in the protection of incoming DNA. However, members of the dprA gene family (also called smf) can be detected in virtually all bacterial species, which suggests that their gene products have a more general function. We examined the funct...
