introduction: mcgill pain questionnaire (mpq) is the most useful standard tools for pain assessment. due to cultural differences, the questionnaire has been translated into several languages. we aimed to translate and adapt mpq into persian language and assess its reliability in iranian cancer patients. methods: the mpq was translated by translation-base method with preserving the original stru...

introduction: misunderstanding enzyme structure and function is a major problem of biochemical education. the purpose of this work was to consider the general features of structure and function of proteins and enzymes relevant to an understanding of structure and function of proteins and enzymes by modeling experiments. methods: a total of 109 medical students of babol university of medical sci...

This study aims to develop seismic fragility curves for a typical pile-supported wharf. Fragility curve is one of the popular tools in seismic performance evaluation of a structure. The software FLAC2D was used to simulate the seismic performance of the wharf structure. Using eight time history records, occurred in past, as seismic loading, incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) was applied for sei...

Protein tertiary structure prediction methods have matured in recent years. However, some proteins defy accurate prediction due to factors such as inadequate template structures. While existing model quality assessment methods predict global model quality relatively well, there is substantial room for improvement in local quality assessment, i.e. assessment of the error at each residue position...
