a graph g = (v,e) with p vertices and q edges is said to be a total mean cordial graph if there exists a function f : v (g) → {0, 1, 2} such that f(xy) = [(f(x)+f(y))/2] where x, y ∈ v (g), xy ∈ e(g), and the total number of 0, 1 and 2 are balanced. that is |evf (i) − evf (j)| ≤ 1, i, j ∈ {0, 1, 2} where evf (x) denotes the total number of vertices and edges labeled with x (x = 0, 1, 2). in thi...

in order to investigation of collembola fauna, several soil and leaf litter sampling were carried out during 2011 in kermanshah regions and species were extracted by berlise funnel. in sum, eight species from eight genera from seven families were collected and identified. the species characterized by one star (*) are new for kermanshah fauna. the species characterized by two star (**) are repor...

This paper discusses the preservation of some stochastic orders between two interdependent series and parallel systems when the survival and distribution functions of all components switch to the exponentiated model. For the series systems, the likelihood ratio, hazard rate, usual, aging faster, aging intensity, convex transform, star, superadditive and dispersive orderings, and for the paralle...

Abstract- Efficient message delivery in city environment is required to ensure driver’s safety and passenger’s comfortability. In cities of developed nations, routing of data in vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) faces many challenges such as radio obstacles, mobility constraints and uneven nodes distribution. These factors primarily makes communication between vehicles complex. To overcome and t...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the cardiac and hepatic iron-overload as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging t2 star (mrit 2 -star) technique and serum ferritin level in patients with thalassemia major. methods: in this cross-sectional study we evaluated 170 patients in sayed shohada hospital in isfahan in the year of 2009, cardiac and hepatic iro...

objective: the role of wnt signaling and its antagonist; secreted frizzled related protein type 4 (sfpr4) was reported in rodent ovarian follicular development. this study examines immunolocalization of sfrp4 in ovaries of polycystic ovary (pco) rat model and evaluates its role in follicular growth arrest and its premature differentiation. materials and mathods: pco was induced with daily admin...

background: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is one of the most common endocrine women’s disorders in reproductive age. hyperandrogenism has a critical role in the etiology of pcos and it can cause fault in steroidogenesis process. during steroidogenesis, steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (star) seems to increase the delivery of cholesterol through mitochondrial membrane. therefore, polymo...
