The main objective of the present study was to estimate genetic and phenotypic trends for body weight traits in Guilan province sheep. Traits included were birth weight (BW, n=14,549), 3-month weight (3MW, n=13,109) and 6-month weight (6MW, n=10,141). Data and pedigree information used in this study were collected during 1994 to 2011 by the Agricultural Organization of Guilan province in Iran. ...

The modern wind turbines (WT), equipped with power converters (full or partial power converters) connected to the grid, have increased rapidly in recent years. Harmonic assessment of the power quality is a necessary study for interconnection of future wind farm to the grid. Normally, the power quality assessment in wind farm is done considering the power converter as an ideal harmonic current s...

Effective control of energy storage system (ESS), supplying an ancillary service to a grid, requires effective and critical calculation state-of-charge (SoC). Charging discharging values from battery operations are essential in calculating the efficiency performance system. This information can also be key understand forecast peak demand performance. Missing data is real problem any system, it ...

introduction lori sheep is one of the most important breeds in iran that is mostly bred in lorestan province, north-east of khuzestan and some areas of ilam provinces. the name of this breed is derived from lori tribe, which is one of the major nomadic groups of zagros mountain in western areas of iran. lori sheep is resistant to mountain conditions and hot and dry plains. this sheep breed has ...

PURPOSE The 6 minutes walk test (6MWT) is often shown to be the best predictor of mortality in pulmonary hypertension (PH) probably because it challenges the failing heart to deliver adequate cardiac output. We hypothesised that the 6MWT elicits maximal cardiac output as measured during a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). METHODS 18 patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonar...

Gait assessment using inertial body sensors is becoming popular as an outcome measure in multiple sclerosis (MS) research, supplementing clinical observations and patient-reported outcomes with precise, objective measures. Although numerous research reports have demonstrated the performance of inertial measures in distinguishing healthy controls and MS subjects, the relationship between these m...

Radio frequency electromagnetic field (RF EMF) exposures due to Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) window frequencies were investigated in this study. 158 Swiss Albino mice in unrestrained conditions were used as surrogate and divided into four groups. The average field strength generated and measured inside the cages placed at a far field from the antennas was 6mW/m and the specific ...
