the age and growth of the persian sturgeon, acipenser persicus, obtained from the iranian coastal waters of the caspian sea, were studied through analysis of the pectoral fin ray section from 180 specimens, ranging in fork length (fl) from 66 to 203 cm. the specimens were obtained from commercial fisheries between october 2008 and june 2010. interpretation of growth bands in the pectoral fin ra...

reliable estimates of river stream fl ow and fl ood zoning maps are needed for water resourcesmanagement such as fl ood mitigation, water supply, dam construction and irrigation. flood zoning needsaccurate data and is one of the non-structural fl ood management methods. this paper describes theapplication of hec-ras and gis model to determine fl oodplains maps for the part of sardabrud rivertha...

In this conceptual paper we look at the concept of mediation in foreign language learning from a translation studies perspective. Through an analysis most important European teaching policy document, namely Common Framework Reference for Languages (CEFR), will study conceptualizations and CEFR identify elements that are with respect to understanding translatoriality its role framework. We argue...

A fluorescent compound 3,4-bis(2,4-difluorophenyl)-maleimide from the 3,4-diaryl-substituted maleimides was synthesized and determined to have a Stokes shift of 140 nm (λ(abs) 341 nm, λ(em) 481 nm), a high fluorescent quantum yield (Φ(fl) 0.61) and an extinction coefficient ε((340)) of 48 400 M(-1) cm(-1) in dichloromethane. For the first time we demonstrated the successful implementation of a...

Background and Aim: The new nomenclature of metabolic syndrome (MeS) associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is characterized by hepatic steatosis (FL) the presence at least one following i.e. Type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity dysregulation. aim this study was to determine risk factor profile individual components MAFLD. Methods: From October December 2022, 341 patients coming in for master heal...

INTRODUCTION Yttrium 90-ibritumomab tiuxetan (90Y-IT) radioimmunotherapy has proved to be effective in relapsed follicular lymphoma (FL). We conducted a clinical trial in which 90Y-IT followed by maintenance rituximab (MR) was evaluated as initial therapy for high-tumor-burden FL. METHODS Eligible patients had histologically confirmed FL and met the GELF (Groupe d'Etude des Lymphomes Follicul...

We compared the survival, growth and fecundity of the Ponto-Caspian amphipod Echinogammarus ischnus and the North American amphipod Gammarus fasciatus across a range of conductivities in a fl uvial lake at the confl uence of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers (Quebec, Canada). Previous work has found that water chemistry (conductivity) regulates the direction and intensity of intraguild predati...

Diamond thin films grown on high resistivity, (100) oriented silicon substrates by the hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) method have been characterized by four-point probe and current-voltage (through film) techniques. The resistivities of the as-grown, chemically etched and annealed samples lie in the range of 1 O* fl cm to 10’ 0 cm. The Raman measurements on these samples indicat...

background: glass ionomer (gi) restorations exposed to fl uoride have the ability to slowly release fl uoride. therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate fl uoride release from three gis before and after exposure to sodium fl uoride (naf) and acidulated phosphate fl uoride (apf). materials and methods: fifteen disc-shaped samples (6 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness) from three gis ...
