The tau neutrino is a neutral third generation lepton contained within the Standard Model Family Several experiments have been studying the properties of the tau neutrino nevertheless it has yet to be directly observed Several di erent methods that can allow one to study the mass of the tau neutrino are presented in this review The measurements of the lifetime and magnetic moment of the tau neu...

abstract the aim of this paper is to investigate annual and seasonal precipitation trends of some selective meteorological stations of central region in iran using non-parametric methods. two non-parametric methods including mann-kendall and sen's estimator slope methods were used here to analyze the seasonal and annual trends of precipitation data. some 48 meteorological stations in centr...

The expressions of MMP2, -7, -9, -13 and TIMP1, -2, -3 were examined in biopsies and cell lines of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) to determine the association between the expression profile and TNM-staging of the primary. The expressions of MMP2, -7, -9, -13 and TIMP1, -2, -3 were analyzed in 30 HNSCC biopsies, 7 HNSCC cell lines and 1 keratinocyte cell line using RT-PCR. Negati...

A non-antigenic mucoid polysaccharide similar to that described by Kendall, Heidelberger, and Dawson was isolated from group C hemolytic streptococci. A simple method for its quantitative estimation is described. By means of this quantitative method, as well as by the direct isolation of the carbohydrates, the size and persistence of capsules in young cultures of various strains have been relat...

The primary physics goals of a high luminosity e+e− flavor factory are discussed, including the possibilities to perform detailed studies of the CKM mechanism of quark mixing, and constrain virtual Higgs and nonstandard model particle contributions to the dynamics of rare Bu,d,s decays. The large samples of D mesons and tau leptons produced at a flavor factory will result in improved sensitivit...

Computing similarity between short microblogs is an important step in microblog recommendation. In this paper, we investigate a topic based approach and a WordNet based approach to estimate similarity scores between microblogs and recommend top related ones to users. Empirical study is conducted to compare their recommendation effectiveness using two evaluation measures. The results show that t...

drought is one of the natural phenomena which occurs in all climates in different parts of the world. iran is located in the dry belt of the world. the increase of desertification, drought reoccurrence, and destruction by human in this geographical region needs more studies on spatial and temporal trend of rainfall. in this study, trends of climatic drought during 1975-76/ 2004-05 in seasonal a...
