pomegranate (punica granatum. l) is one of the popular edible fruits believed to be native iran. it is presently widely grown in many other tropical and subtropical countries. in this study, anthocyanin profiles for four cultivars of iranian pomegranate (punica granatum. l) juice were determined and quantified through high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to uv-vis detector (hplc-uv) u...

Background: Anemia is one of the most important nutritional disorders among children and adolescent in Iran and developing countries. Despite the possibility of anemia prevention, there is a high proportion of this problem in school children and especially infants. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence rate of anemia in 6 to 12 months old children. Methods: This was a cross-sec...

In underground excavation, where the road-headers are employed, a precise prediction of the road-header performance has a vital role in the economy of the project. In this paper, a new model is developed for prediction of the road-header performance using the non-linear multivariate regression analysis. This model is able to estimate the instantaneous cutting rate (ICR) of roadheader based on r...

Braces with intentional eccentricity (BIE) are recently proposed to improve the seismic behaviour of conventional buckling braces (CBBs) by inserting along brace length. Due this and resultant bending moment, BIE bends uniformly from small storey drifts moves smoothly into postbuckling under compression sustains trilinear tension. This delays appearance midlength local which causes unstable ene...

Dynamic behavior of ground supported cylindrical storage tanks (CST) is of crucial importance because of its applications in industrial complexes. Seismic behavior of tanks is greatly affected by the height to diameter ratio, fluid height and fluid type. Five CSTs with different height to diameter ratios, three CSTs with the same height and diameters but various fluid heights and one CST with t...

two hundred samples were taken from various sites in iran, including coal storage areas, waste water in the tabas and zirab coal mines, and sulphur containing acid springs in ramsar and abask , and were screened for thlobacillus ferruuxidans. during this investigation , seven strains were isolated which could oxidize sdphm , pyrite , thiosdphate and ferrous iron as the sole energy source. macro...

In advance longwall mining, the safety of mine network, production rate, and consequently, economic conditions of a mine are dependent on the stability conditions of gate roadways. The gate roadway stability is a function of two important factors: 1) characteristics of the excavation damaged zone (EDZ) above the gate roadway and 2) loading effect due to the caving zone (CZ) above the longwall w...
