Currently, the main asset for every country is the produced and acquired science and technology in the country. [Alidousti, 1996]. In Islamic Republic of Iran, as Iran 1404, the Vision Document or 20-Year Document dictates the country will be the first in the region. [Iranian 1404 Perspective Document, 2006] This has resulted in a national research movement and hence, the number of scientific d...

and remarkable for its clinical heterogeneity. Despite recent advances in chemotherapy, the prognosis of advanced neuroblastoma is still very poor. However, some favorable types of neuroblastoma, especially in infants under 1 year of age, are known to regress spontaneously or mature even if widespread metastases to bone marrow, skin and/or liver (special stage: stage IVS) are present. Apoptosis...

stances from plants and endophytic fungi, the ethyl acetate extract from the culture broth of the endophytic fungus Botryosphaeria mamane PSU-M76 exhibited interesting antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 (SA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus SK1 (MRSA) with MIC values of 32 and 64 mg/ml, respectively. The endophytic fungus B. mamane PSU-M76 was isolated from the l...

A group of 1404 middle-aged men from Aalborg who were examined in 1974 with interview and lung function tests were re-examined in 1985 using a postal questionnaire. Of the 1404 men, 1045 could be classified into well-defined occupational categories using information up to 1974. Of these men, 791 were alive at the time of the questionnaire survey. Questions on lung symptoms, occupation and smoki...

Many practical applications can make use of robot collectives that can manipulate objects and construct structures. Examples include applications in warehousing, truck loading and unloading, transporting large objects in industrial environments, and assembly of large-scale structures. Creating such systems, however, can be challenging. When collective robots work together to manipulate physical...

We present the results of an analysis of data from XMM-Newton and CHANDRA observations of the high luminosity narrow-line quasar PG 1404+226. We confirm a strong soft X-ray excess in the X-ray spectrum and we find rapid variability (a factor of two in about 5000 s) in both XMMNewton and CHANDRA data. When the X-ray spectrum is fit with a two component model which includes a power-law (Γ ∼ 1.6) ...
