Skeletal muscle satellite cells are a muscle stem cell population that mediate posthatch muscle growth and repair. Satellite cells respond differentially to environmental stimuli based upon their fiber-type of origin. The objective of this study was to determine how temperatures below and above the in vitro control of 38°C affected the proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells isolat...

The research used the satellite image (Landsat 7 ETM ) within the thermal infrared sixth band (TIR6) and geographic information system (GIS) to determine the air pollution and its relationship with the land cover (LC) and land use (LU) of Baghdad city. Concentration of total suspended particles (TSP), lead (Pb), carbon oxides (CO, CO2), and sulphur dioxide (SO2) were obtained from 22 ground mea...

Fixed GEO satellite communications are impaired by long RTTs (especially GEO) and the possible presence of packet losses on the satellite radio channels. Moreover, when the satellite receiver is mobile, short and long disruptions due to line of sight obstructions associated with the presence of shadowing can cause further performance deterioration. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of a dis...

An interference channel is a network consisting N senders and N receivers. There exists a oneto-one correspondence between senders and receivers. Each sender only wants to communicate with its corresponding receiver, and each receiver only cares about the information form its corresponding sender. However, each channel interferes the others. So an interference channel has N principal links and ...

The studied region in this research (Alborz province) is structurally located in Alborz poly_orogenic system of northern Iran. The purpose of this research is combining the remote sensing and geology sciences to show fault lineaments by analyzing satellite data in a vast region and also comparison between lineaments layer and recognized faults in geology maps. Firstly, two scenes of Landsat ETM...

Remote sensing has changed modern oceanography by proving synoptic periodic data which can be processed. Since the satellite data are usually too much and nonlinear, in most cases, it is difficult to distinguish the patterns from these images. In fact, SOM (Self-Organizing Maps) model is a type of ANN (Artificial Neural Network) that has the ability to distinguish the efficient patterns from th...

Satellite cells are responsible for growth, maintenance and repair of postnatal skeletal muscle. On the search for a specific marker molecule for the identification of satellite cells by light-microscopy, we examined M-cadherin, a Ca-dependent cell adhesion molecule which is present in quiescent as well as activated satellite cells but not in other cell types in skeletal muscle. To determine th...
