common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) is one of the most important food legumes worldwide. the development of a core collection could facilitate easier access to bean genetic resources and enhance their applications in crop improvement program. in this article development of a core collection from 1425 accessions of common bean germplasm available from the national plant gene bank of iran (npggbi...

the purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effects of infrastructure and strategy of knowledge management on acquisition of core competencies through knowledge management process in ‘iran khodro company’. research method was descriptive-correlation. statistical population encompassed 400 members of supervisors, middle managers, and senior managers in iran’s ikco. the opinions of 198 members w...

background: hepatitis c virus (hcv) is a main public health problem causing chronic liver infection and subsequently liver cirrhosis and lethal hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc). vaccination based on hcv capsid proteins has attracted a special interest for prevention of viral infections. the core protein is a basic and evolutionary most conserved protein, which regulates the cellular processes rel...

The routine measurement of direction-dependent reservoir rock properties like permeability often takes place along the axial direction of core samples. As permeability is a tensor property of porous materials, it should be fully described by a tensor matrix or by three main permeabilities in principal directions. Due to compaction, cementation, and other lithification processes, which take plac...

This paper present the approach and results of a mapping process to define a common metadata format for cross-searching distributed and heterogeneous subject gateways in the EU project Renardus. The outcome in Renardus is a well defined data model with semantic and syntactical definitions of each metadata element. It results in richer and semantically controlled cross-searching. The metadata el...

The iPalletnexus development group has currently developed a viewer application, iPalletnexus. The application allows browsing of large volumes of digitized images such as pictorial diagrams, maps and paintings over networks. On iPalletnexus, it is necessary to provide metadata that describe information such as the title and the author of each resource, and the metadata must be adaptable to any...

Neurosciences are progressively moving into a mass computational intensive era with the fusion of numerous large heterogeneous data sets from cellular to system level. To process and share this mass of information in a consistent and computational amenable form, computerized techniques – among them, ontologies are currently designed to store, analyze and access this information. Recently, we pr...

The acoustic lance is an instrument developed to obtain in situ compressional wave velocity and attenuation ~Q! profiles for a sedimentary layer of several meters thickness at the sediment– seawater interface. The self-contained instrument consists of ten independent recording channels with a linear array of receivers embedded in the seafloor below a broadband acoustic source. It provides in si...
