Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to formaldehyde was investigated on four semiconductor photocatalysts (FeS, FeS/FeS2, NiO and TiO2). The reaction was carried out in continues flow of CO2 gas bubbled into the reactor. Semiconductor photocatalysts were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopic (DRS) methods. Sulfide ion was used as hole scavenger. T...

Three Iranian native strains and three Japanese commercial lines of the silkworm Bombyx mori were analyzed using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. A set of ten PstI/TaqI primer combinations amplified a total of 322 bands out of which 251 (%78) were polymorphic. Estimates of Nei’s gene diversity for all loci in individual strains and commercial lines indicated a higher degre...

Based on recent studies by Guy Jumarie [1] which defines probability density of fractional order and fractional moments by using fractional calculus (fractional derivatives and fractional integration), this study expands the concept of probability density of fractional order by defining the fractional probability measure, which leads to a fractional probability theory parallel to the classical ...

inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) is a chronic disease of unknown etiology, in which genetic factors, seem to play an important role in the disease predisposition and course. assessment of tumor necrosis factor (tnf-α) gene polymorphisms in many populations showed a possible association with ibd. considering the genetic variety in different ethnic groups, the aim of the present study was to inve...

Bayesian probability theory is an inference calculus, which originates from a generalization of inclusion on the Boolean lattice of logical assertions to a degree of inclusion represented by a real number. Dual to this lattice is the distributive lattice of questions constructed from the ordered set of down-sets of assertions, which forms the foundation of the calculus of inquiry—a generalizati...

three iranian native strains and three japanese commercial lines of the silkworm bombyx mori were analyzed using amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) markers. a set of ten psti/taqi primer combinations amplified a total of 322 bands out of which 251 (%78) were polymorphic. estimates of nei’s gene diversity for all loci in individual strains and commercial lines indicated a higher degre...
