Throughout evolution, a wide number of organisms specialized in parasitizing plants. Plants are not exceptions; certain plant species evolved as parasites of their own kind. Parasitic angiosperms evolved at least 12 times and show various lifestyles. For example, facultative parasitic plants can complete their life cycle and produce seeds without hosts, whereas obligate parasitic plants totally...

sporotrichosis is a chronic subcutaneous fungal infection with global distribution. it is a rare fungal infection with nine reported cases in iran, including eight humans and one animal, within the past 30 years. among the human cases, seven were of the fixed cutaneous type of sporotrichosis and one had sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous. the reported patients were within the age range of 23-60 year...

aim : the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence rate of cryptosporidium and other enteropathogen parasites among patients with gastroenteritis in western cities of mazandaran province, northern iran, during one year. background : as specific characterization, high humidity, ecological conditions, superficial water sources, municipal water supplies, domestic and industrial animal husb...

background: helicobacter pylori is the most common cause of chronic infection in the human stomach. the infection has universe prevalence in all age groups. probably, this bacterium is the cause of most common chronic bacterial infection in human beings and infects approximately half of the world population. h. pylori produces urease, an enzyme that degrades the urea in the stomach’s mucous to ...

This paper proposes a channel capacity maximization method for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antennas with parasitic elements. Reactive terminations are connected to the parasitic elements, and the reactance values are determined to achieve stochastically high channel capacity for the environment targeted. This method treats the S-parameter and propagation channel of the antenna, includ...

I propose the first strictly compositional semantic account of same. New data, including especially NP-internal uses such as two men with the same name, suggests that same in its basic use is a quantificational element taking scope over nominals. Given type-lifting as a generally available mechanism, I show that this follows naturally from the fact that same is an adjective. Independently-motiv...
