accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration plays a key role in water resources management and irrigation scheduling. the fao penman-monteith (f-p-m) is a reference method for calculation of evapotranspiration that needs temperature, humidity, wind speed and solar radiation. in many stations, it is not an easy task to measure the whole weather variables. thus, in this situation, one mus...

Multidrug therapy is recommended for treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) bacteremia in patients with AIDS. Azithromycin, clarithromycin, rifabutin, ciprofloxacin, ethambutol, clofazimine, and amikacin have all been suggested for use in treating MAC bacteremia, but the most active combinations of these drugs have not been identified, nor has the minimum number of drugs needed for effe...

Comparative studies were carried out using various antimetabolites in order to determine whether the synergistic cellkilling effect on L1210 murine leukemia cells induced by a treatment combining 6-thioguanine (6-TG) and 3-[(4-amino2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)methyl]-1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea hydrochloride (ACNU) resulted from "complementary inhibi tion." The combinations of ACNU plus 5-fluoro...

Ribbonfish, Trichiurus lepturus (Linnaeus, 1758), is an important component of subsistence fisheries throughout its tropical and subtropical distribution. The catch rate of ribbonfish has increased seven-fold in a decade in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. We collected monthly biological samples from T. lepturus, to estimate growth and mortality parameters, and identify species reproductive patte...

The presence of morphine alkaloids, anti-microbial and anti-cancer metabolite, sanguinarine, in different species of Papaver genus has made it one of the most valuable plants in the pharmaceutical industry.With regard to the influence of drought and salinity on the increase of secondary metabolites, the present study attempted to investigate the effect of the mentioned stresses on the key genes...

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of n-fold obstinate pseudo-hoop and n-fold obstinate filter in pseudo-hoops. Then we investigated these notions and proved some properties of them. Also, we discussed the relationship between n-fold obstinate pseudo-hoop and n-fold obstinate filter and other types of n-fold pseudo-hoops and n-fold filters such as n-fold (positive) implicative filter and ...

Previous studies in the lab identified a series of alanine substitutions in the mucin domain-deleted Ebola virus glycoprotein 1 (EBOVΔO GP1) that enhance EBOV GP pseudovirion transduction efficiency by about two fold above wild type glycoprotein (1). To determine if combining these alanine substitutions resulted in even higher transduction levels, a series of mutants were generated and assessed...
