The efficiency of four culture media was compared for the isolation of Mycobacterium avium complex from 197 procine tissues. In 82 tissues with microscopic granulomas and acid-fast bacilli, a significantly greater number of isolates were obtained on Middlebrook 7H10 medium with sodium pyruvate than on Stonebrink medium, Herrold egg yolk agar medium, or Lowenstein-Jensen medium (P=0.01). In 46 t...

using low quality water on agricultural lands in south of tehran has increased the risk of soil salinity and created problems for some agricultural crops. this study was carried out to determine of soil salinity distribution and to produce salinity map. the mapping of salinity can also identify the saline and non-saline regions that are very effective for land management and choosing kind of cr...

Instruments for microanalysis are now able to provide several images of the same specimen area. In this paper, two groups of methods are described for handling these multivariate maps. One group concerns dimensionality reduction, i.e., the projection of N-dimensional data sets onto a M-dimensional parameter space (M<N). It is shown that, in addition to linear mapping which can be performed by M...

Jensen et al. present a simple and elegant program model, within a speciication and veriication framework for checking control ow based security properties by model checking techniques. We gener-alise this model and framework to allow for compositional speciication and veriication of security properties of multi-application programs. The framework contains a program model for multi-application ...

one main group of a transportation network is a discrete hub covering problem that seeks to minimize the total transportation cost. this paper presents a multi-product and multi-mode hub covering model, in which the transportation time depends on travelling mode between each pair of hubs. indeed, the nature of products is considered different and hub capacity constraint is also applied. due to ...

Based on a completely distributive lattice $M$, base axioms and subbase axioms are introduced in $M$-fuzzifying convex spaces. It is shown that a mapping $mathscr{B}$ (resp. $varphi$) with the base axioms (resp. subbase axioms) can induce a unique $M$-fuzzifying convex structure with  $mathscr{B}$ (resp. $varphi$) as its base (resp. subbase). As applications, it is proved that bases and subbase...
