Today, the electricity power system is the most complicated engineering system has ever been made. The integrated power generating stations with power transmission lines has created a network, called complex power network. The reliability estimation of such complex power networks is a very challenging problem, as one cannot find any immediate solution methods in current literature. In this pape...

network expansion studies normally offer new power lines, new substations or expansion of existing substations. they are generally proposed based on technical requirements, but financial restrictions are not considered. because of financial restrictions, ranking of network expansion plans is required. in this paper an algorithm for such ranking, based on technical and financial view points and ...

the new cereal, primary tritipyrum is a synthetic amphiploid derived from crossing between durum wheat varieties (triticum durum, 2n=4x=28, aabb) and wild coach grass species (thinopyrum bessarabicum, 2n=2x=14, ebeb). in this study the genotype × environment interaction effect containing change in rank and value for grain yield of seventeen genotypes including eight primary and combined primary...

objective(s):berberine, a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid, has shown antitumor properties in some in vitro systems. but the effect of berberine on breast cancer has not yet been completely studied. in this study, we evaluated anticancer properties of berberine in comparison to doxorubicin. materials and methods: the antiproliferative effects of berberine and doxorubicin alone and in c...

Background: Non-Iranian Primary Tritipyrum (2n=6x=42, AABBEbEb) set seed after Triticale (2n=6x=42, AABBRR) and Tritordeum (2n=6x=42, AABBHcHc) but, due to a few undesirable agronomic traits, it cannot fulfil the commercial expectations of farming. Objectives: To remove these deficiencies, six hexaploid Tritipyrum lines were crossed with four Iranian bread wheat cultivars which led to the...

  The sporozoites of Theileria annulata invade bovine MHC II cells, where they differentiate into schizonts. The later can immortalize and induce fundamental changes in their host cells. Live attenuated vaccine is an important way of controlling T. annulata infection of cattle. Production is by prolonged cultivation of macroschizont-infected cells. The mechanisms underlying this transformation ...
