successful clearance of hepatitis b virus (hbv) is a promising event in which host's immune system will attempt to get rid of the virus. the immunological events of hbsag seroclearance have attracted great attention in both natural history investigations and therapeutic trials. recent genome-wide association studies (gwas) has confirmed polymorphisms in the human leukocyte antigen (hla)-dp locu...

peanuts, an oilseed crop, contain about 46% oil. the peanut shell can be used as fuel or pallets and its dry matter as feedstuff. the whole pods consist of 1-6 kernels. shelling is done at harvest time when the pod moisture content is 5-10%. in this research, a peanut sheller was designed and developed to separate the shell from the pod. the sheller included a hopper, sheller cylinder, concave,...

as one of the most promising distributed generation (dg) sources, wind power technology has been widely developed in recent years. doubly fed induction generator (dfig) is currently employed as one of the most common topologies for wind turbine generators (wtgs). this generator operates as a synchronous/asynchronous hybrid generators. therefore, it is necessary to power engineers find understan...

dose-dependent pharmacokinetic of phenytoin necessitates the estimation of the maximum rate of metabolism (vm) and the michaelis-menten constant (km) in a concerned population. the aim of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of phenytoin in a sample of iranian patients to optimize the antiepileptic pharmacotherapy. fourty patients who received a constant dose of phenytoin ...

Background: The airway surface liquid (ASL), which is a ï‌‚uid layer coating the interior epithelial surface of the bronchi and bronchiolesis, plays an important defensive role against foreign particles and chemicals entering lungs.Objective: Numerical investigation has been employed to solve two-layer model consisting of mucus layer as a viscoelastic fluid and periciliary liquid layer as a New...
