BACKGROUND Aesthetic surgery procedures have been performed at dramatically increased rates in recent years in Iran.

Body image inflexibility, the unwillingness to experience negative appearance-related thoughts and emotions, is associated with negative body image and eating disorder symptoms. The present study investigated whether body image inflexibility mediated the relationship between body image evaluation and maladaptive body image coping strategies (appearance-fixing and experiential avoidance) in a co...

1. A specific complement fixation reaction test for Plasmodium knowlesi malaria in rhesus monkeys is reported with details involved in the preparation of the antigen and procedures employed in setting up the test. 2. It was found that specific complement-fixing antibodies appeared early in the course of the experimental disease and persisted during the course of the chronic infection. 3. The fi...

The fungal cell wall viewed through the electron microscope appears transparent when fixed by the conventional osmium tetroxide method. However, ruthenium tetroxide post-fixing has revealed new details in the ultrastructure of Penicillium sp. hyphae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. Most significant was the demonstration of two or three opaque diverse electron dense layers on the cell wall of...

We formulate the quark meson coupling model as a many-body effective Hamiltonian. This leads naturally to the appearance of many-body forces. We investigate the zero range limit of the model and compare its Hartree-Fock Hamiltonian to that corresponding to the Skyrme effective force. By fixing the three parameters of the model to reproduce the binding and symmetry energy of nuclear matter, we f...

Measurement of the distribution of the photosynthesis product in the symbiotic association of a legume, a mycorrhizal fungus, and nitrogen-fixing bacteria showed that the fungus incorporated 1 percent of the photosynthesis product and respired 3 percent. The nodules of a 5-week-old plant utilized 7 to 12 percent of the photosynthesis product. The legume compensated in partfor the needs of its m...

‎A set of vertices $S$ of a graph $G$ is called a fixing set of $G$‎, ‎if only the trivial automorphism of $G$ fixes every vertex in $S$‎. ‎The fixing number of a graph is the smallest cardinality of a fixing‎ ‎set‎. ‎The fixed number of a graph $G$ is the minimum $k$‎, ‎such that ‎every $k$-set of vertices of $G$ is a fixing set of $G$‎. ‎A graph $G$‎ ‎is called a $k$-fixed graph‎, ‎if its fix...
