Abstract: In this paper the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is used to identify and model a real debutanizer column in one of the Iranian refineries. The outputs of dynamic model in addition to recent inputs depend on previous outputs and inputs. Selected inputs and outputs are those that will be used as manipulated and controlled variables. The type and number of membership functions obtain from error and trial approach and optimal configuration is chosen by root mean square error (RSME) criterion. According to RMSE between real and simulated outputs, the obtained model is acceptable with the aim of control.

Abstract: In this paper, the main focus was on designing a concurrency control mechanism which is suitable for mobile database systems. In the suggested plan, a new architecture is proposed for mobile environments, which causes acceleration when committing the transactions and reduces the communication overload of this environment. In addition, we enhance the conventional optimistic concurrency control with an early termination mechanism on conflicting transactions, called "intermediate validation phase". By using this phase, conflicting transactions can be identified timely and terminated before reaching the validation phase. This mechanism is highly desirable in the mobile environment, because allowing conflicting transactions to continue, not only wastes constrained computing power and low bandwidth, but also exacerbates conflicts. This observation leads to ignore some conflicts and reduce restarts.

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the resistance of pistachio plants (Iranian Badami cultivar) to drought stress via different treatments of humic acid. A total of 108 one–year–old pistachio seedlings were used in a 4×3 factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 replicates and 3 plants for each replicate. The two factors involved were drought stress and humic acid. The former was used in three levels, namely D1) 80% of field capacity (control), D2) 40% of field capacity (medium stress), and D3) 20% of field capacity (severe stress); the latter in four levels of H1) 0, H2) 500, H3) 1000, and H4) 1500 ppm, respectively. Traits measured in this experiment included leaf chlorophyll content, relative water content (RWC), proline amino acid, abscisic acid hormone (ABA) in fresh leaf, and root dry weight. The results of this investigation revealed that drought stress (severe type) increased proline amino acid and ABA. Whereas, it decreased root dry weight, relative water content (RWC), and leaf chlorophyll content (P≤0.05). The effect of different levels of humic acid on all measured parameters was significant (P≤0.05). According to the results, humic acid treatments resulted in a reduction of proline amino acid and ABA in comparison to those of plants without humic acid treatments. Conversely, leaf chlorophyll content, root dry weight, and relative water content (RWC) were increased by humic acid treatments in combination with drought stress (severe stress).

Abstract: The best choice for evaluating the bioavailable deduction among thousands of toxic and hazardous pollutants is whole-cell bacterial biosensors. Major advantage of biosensors in detection of environmental contaminants is real-time perception and on-site monitoring. In bacterial biosensors reporter gene are located alongside of promoter that is sensitive to specific pollutant. Pollutant- responsive promoter in the presence of target through biochemical pathways within the cell cause the reporter gene is expressed. The activation of reporter gene can be created a detectable and measurable response. An effort has been made to construct the whole-cell biosensors by using cadR gene and its related promoter/operator from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO1, gfp gene as the reporter, plasmid pET28a and genetic engineering technique that is be able to clearly show the presence of cadmium in water samples. Cadmium detection by using this biosensor was done by means of microscopy and fluorometry techniques. Our results demonstrate that there is a strong positive correlation between the number of fluorescent cells and concentration of cadmium in samples. Constructed biosensor could be used successfully as a device to determine the biologically relevant concentrations of cadmium in contaminated wastewater.

Abstract: The present paper mentions the importance of agricultural sector in major development and increasing public welfare and discusses an important purpose as eradicating poverty in the society by fast growth in the agricultural sector. With respect to poverty eradication the results achieved from different studies (including Dat & Ravalvin, 2002) indicate that the role of agriculture in decreasing poverty is more significant than the industrial and urban development sectors in several cases. The main purpose of this paper is presenting theoretical principles with respect to the place of agricultural sector in decreasing poverty and analyzing direct and indirect effects of FGT (Foster-Greer-Thorbecke) poverty index separately for different economic activities against increase in production or request of a determined pat of the economics as a results of application of general economic policies using fixed price multiplier coefficients approach in the scope of social accounting matrix pattern. Using the technique presented in this paper along with analysis of the presented index can be used as a useful instrument for relating the growth pattern with the decrease in poverty. In this paper by using social accounting matrix of the year 2006 in Iran in 14 different economic activities plus the statistics related to the families budget it has been indicated that the development in rural agriculture sector has the most share in decreasing poverty.

Abstract: Dipel 2x (Bacillus thuringiensis) was used to detect its antibacterial effect against group of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, including Clostridium perfringens type B, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Actinomyces pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. The agar gel diffusion technique as well as biochemical analysis were used to obtain the results. The tested biological substance were effective against some common bacteria (E. coli and S. typhimurium), but less effective against C. perfringens. Dipel 2x was effective against aerobic bacteria (E. coli and S. typhimurium) but less effective against anaerobic bacteria, including (C. perfringens type B). Satisfactory results were obtained by oral administration of Dipel 2x in doses of 50 mg/100 gm b.wt. for 7 successive days into mature infected rats, which produced a significant decrease in the serum level of total protein, AST, AP activity, creatinine, bilirubin and ALT. Rats orally administered with antibiotic (chloramphenicol and enrofloxacin in doses of 27 mg and 0.5 mg/100 gm b.wt.) after infection by E. coli showed significant increases in total protein, creatinine, bilirubin levels, ALT, and ALK phosphates in serum.

Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus has a common occurrence in the urinary tract infections thereby necessitating a regular monitoring of the susceptibility of organism to antibiotics. Fifty isolates of S. aureus from urine samples of patients attending University College Hospital, Ibadan were collected and screened by standard biochemical and microbiological procedures. Antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates was carried out by disk-diffusion method; their ability to produce beta-lactamase was tested by the cell suspension iodometric method. The minimum inhibitory and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MIC and MBC) of augmentin, ceftriaxone and penicillin G against twenty of the isolates were determined by the tube-dilution technique. All the isolates investigated were Staphylococcus aureus, and 84% of them produced beta-lactamase. The S. aureus strains were highly sensitive to nitrofurantoin (78%), ofloxacin (70%) and augmentin (66%) but showed high resistance to cotrimoxazole (80%), tetracycline (60%), nalidixic acid (78%), amoxicillin (78%), gentamicin (60%) and novobiocin (44%). Over 70% of all the isolates exhibited multiple antibiotics resistance. Sixty percent of the twenty (12) isolates whose MIC and MBC were determined were sensitive to ceftriaxone while only 25% (5) were sensitive to augmentin. All the isolates were resistant to penicillin G. S. aureus remains a common aetiology of urinary tract infection among patients and the drugs of choice could be nitrofurantoin, ofloxacin, augmentin and ceftriaxone. The high multiple antibiotic resistance observed underscores the need to conduct antibiotic susceptibility testing before prescription in order to avoid therapeutic failure.

Abstract: Water and ethanol leaf extracts of five plant species significantly (P≥0.05) reduced the in vitro radial growth, sporulation, fresh weight and dry weight of Botrydiplodia theobromae as well as the development of rot disease in Kolanut seeds during storage. Ethanol extract of Terminaliasuperba gave significantly (P>0.05) highest rot reduction of 96.3% when it was used to treat unwounded kolanut seed for 12hours. This was followed by ethanol extract of Pycathus angonensis that gave a rot reduction of 91.4%. In the control untreated kolanut seed zero percent rot reduction was observed. Ethanol extract of all tested plants significantly inhibit the growth and sporulation of Botrydiplodia theobromae as well as subsequent rot development. Terminaliasuperba and Pycathus angonensis appears to have the potentials to be used for managing kolanut seed rot during storage.

Abstract: Leaves of Alphonso mango cultivar showed a repellant effect toward the mango shield scale Kilifia acuminata (Signoret) in the laboratory bioassay. The volatile components of Alphonso leaf were extracted with hexane and fractionated with tow successive silica gel column chromatography using tow different solvent systems. Results of chemotaxis assay and gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis of the isolated fractions showed that α-pinene, β-pinene and d-limonene are three volatiles present in Alphonso leaves and possess insect-repellant properties. It is suggested that the combined action of α-pinene, β-pinene and d-limonene could be responsible –at least in part -for non-preference of K. acuminata to leaves of Alphonso mango cultivar.

Abstract: For many years, one could clearly see the influence of unconscious in the artworks of many artists around the world. But, what we are studying in this thesis is the focus and attention of Iranian miniatures in using unconscious in a conscious way by incorporating time and movement and sometimes just by ignoring them. Unconscious is a part of human mind in the absence of consciousness. When several events happen in the same time and conscious mind could barely remember one or two of them, the unconscious mind keeps them all in the memory so it could be recalled in another time when the right stimuli exists. An Iranian painter try to give it a chance for being by setting up simultaneous events in one scenario so he could find a common space between what he makes as an artwork and his audiences history of past. He could then challenge the mind of his audiences in the process of every movement and invite them to think and therefore enjoy the artwork. The aim of this research is to understand and study the existence of unconscious in Iranian miniatures in which the simultaneousness of story elements plays a great role and also to answer this question that how unconsciousness has created this simultaneousness. First I have studied young’s and freud’s point of view about unconsciousness and its influence on everyday human life And what could influence the action and the reaction of human as time goes by Then the memory and its different kinds, time and its influence on unconscious has been studied and finally I have discussed that the reason for ambiguity in Iranian paintings, is the existence of such an elements in creating the unconscious.

Abstract: By rapid growth of science and technology in various areas accompanying with lack of familiarity of young generation with rich folklore culture, gradual ignorance of this valuable repository is of concern. This culture in form of monograph can help considerably preserve this valuable repository. This research is aimed to review briefly monographic background in Iran, rural, urban and neighboring monographs in Kerman regarding necessity and significance of monograph. The present research was done by a library based methodology derived from Al-Ahmad, Saedi, Shahri’s monographs and Kermani monographs. Research results show that monograph dated back to one hundred years ago based on Lorimer’s book “Kerman folk culture”. After establishment of Kerman studies center in 1989 and conduction of 18 seminars, provincial researches have been specially paid attention and valuable works of monograph have been registered in the province such as Koohbanan folk culture (2005), Shahr-e babak culture and history (2004). But there is no published work about villages and suburbs of Kerman except the book “a trip on Chatroud town”. Since it is not possible to write all details of folk culture, because of high expansion of cities, so pay attention to neighboring monographs including the book “history of mosque and neighborhood of Khajeh Khezr is very vital in order to preserve folk culture.

Abstract: In the mobile environments, due to some specific features such as the bandwidth restriction, displacement in various geographical regions and disconnection, the efficient and cost-effective design of the concurrency control mechanisms, require techniques that are completely different from the distributed databases. Although the concurrency control protocols which are suggested for the distributed environments can be developed for the mobile environments, their efficiency might be very different from that of the distributed environments. In the suggested plan, it's offered a new architecture for the mobile database in which a set of cells form a region and one of these cells under the name ‘mobile transaction manager’(MTM) is responsible for the transactions concurrency control which is very suitable for the mobile databases. Also, the suggested concurrency control mechanism which is adopted from an optimistic approach is able to significantly reduce the aborting rate of the transactions in the mobile environment using the transactions early termination mechanism and ignoring some conflictions.

Abstract: Purpose: To observe whether early cleavage can be a predictor of pregnancy and implantation rates. Methods: A total of 193 infertile couples, attending the ART unit, International Islamic Center for Population Studies and Research (IICPSR), -Al- Azhar University in the period from December 2010 to September 2012, were included in this study. The controlled ovarian hyperstimulation protocol was performed according to a long GnRH agonist protocol starting in the midluteal phase (day 21) of the preceding cycle. Embryos were assessed at 25 – 27 hr after ICSI for early cleavage. Embryos which reached the two cell stage at this interval were classified as Early Cleavage (EC) embryos, and the remaining as Non Early Cleavage (NEC) embryos. Embryos were assessed again at 64 - 68 hours post-ICSI for day-three embryo morphology. Day 3 embryo transfer was done. The best two or three embryos, according to day 3 embryo morphology were transferred. The patients were subdivided into two subgroups; one will transfer early cleavage embryos (EC) and the other will transfer non early cleavage embryo (NEC). Results: We found that transfer of early cleavage embryos (EC) led to significantly higher pregnancy rates as compared to non early cleavage embryos (NEC) (43.30 % versus 21.88 %; P = 0.005), and also higher implantation rates (25.58 % versus 11.35 %; P = 0.000). Also we found that the EC embryos had significantly higher proportion of good quality embryos when compared to NEC embryos (P = 0.000). Conclusion: early cleavage could be an additional factor for selecting embryos with a higher potential of implantation and successful pregnancy

Abstract: This study is aimed at determining the biochemical effect of Nicotine on male testis ices by evaluating, serum concentration of testosterone, androgen binding protein (ABP), FSH and LH. Nicotine caused a significant malfunction (P < 0.05) in the mean values of serum sexual hormones, testosterone, ABP, FSH and LH concentration in the testis when compared with the control. It was concluded that nicotine caused decreasing of testosterone and increasing of ABP, FSH and LH concentrations in the serum. Also the toxic effect of nicotine on the germ cell layers in somniferous tubule with concomitant reduction in reproductive potentials of the male rat was exerted. Nicotine should therefore be taken with caution in cases of infertility. A total of adult 30 male rats weighing from (250-300 g); were divided into three groups: Group 1 (n=10), the control group; group 2 (n=10), nicotine - low dose "0.25mg/kg" body weight; group 3 (n=10), nicotine – high dose “0.5mg/kg” body weight. After sacrifice, blood samples were collected in tubes, and separated the serum for the determination of testosterone, androgen binding protein (ABP), FSH and LH. The results showed that serum testosterone levels were significantly decreased in both treated rats groups, low and high dose, compared with control animals (P < 0.05). On the other hand, serum androgen binding protein (ABP), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels were significantly increased in both treated rats groups, low and high dose, compared with control animals (P < 0.05). The present investigation was designed to study the biochemical effects of nicotine on testis of adult male albino rats.

Abstract: Background and Aim: Since reducing the waiting time is one of the effective factors in patient’s satisfaction on quality of services, eliminating of additional process could contribute more to increase utilization of operating room and satisfaction of patients. This research was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of Six Sigma on decreasing of waiting time for starting operation surgery for patient of spine surgery in operating room of Shohada-ye- Tajrish Hospital in Tehran. Material and Methods: This study was conducted with the benefit of Six Sigma model in four stages , with qualitative and quantitative methods. The study sample comprised all patients who have spine surgery in Shohadaye Tajrish hospital in three kind of operation: Lumbar fusion, Lumbar laminectomy, Cage implant, in six month duration before and after implementation of six sigma. The sample size was 198 persons. Data collection tools were: Chronometer clock, time measurement forms, and surgery operation registration notebooks. After entering raw data into the software( Minitab) has been calculated by descriptive statistics and central measures, scissoring (average, standard deviation). Results: Average waiting time for surgery reduction for patient with lumber laminectomy 51.4 minutes with standard deviation of 21.2, in Cage implant 62.6 with standard deviation of 18.3, and in Lumbar fusion surgery 51.6 with standard deviation of 20.7 has been reached after implementation of Six-Sigma. Conclusions: postponement of personnel attendance in recovery room in order to transfer the patient to operating room, transferring the patient to the operating room until changing the nursing shift, nursing resource shortage, prematurely attendance of second and third patient at recovery and lack of physical space of recovery were main factors of increasing patient waiting time. Improvement were taken in order to reduce the average of waiting time for start of the operation surgery by cooperating the attendance of patient after changing the nursing shift, estimating the completion time of the first operation and calling the next patient to the operating room then, and preparing sufficient manpower and enlarging recovery physical space.Keywords: Waiting time, Six Sigma, DMAIC cycle, Operating Room, Surgery.

Abstract: There are numerous references and sources including the pre-Islamic era poems considered for the Holy Quran by western Quran researchers. The most disputed one is the poems of Imrau Al-Qais, according to effect on the prophet’s thoughts and formation of the Holy Quran. But the documental and textual investigation of these poems shows that this claim is groundless according to the attributions of the claimed poems to the owner and weaknesses in structure and the lack of proportion with social and cultural situation of pre-Islam Arabs.

Abstract: Silver engineered nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the most widely used nanoparticles and expected to enter natural ecosystem. Here, we examined the effect of different sizes of AgNPs (65, 50 and 20 nm) on germination percent, root growth, Mitotic Index (MI) and chromosomal aberrations at 50 ppm for time intervals (6, 12 and 24 hrs) in Vicia faba. As compared to the control (untreated), the results clearly revealed that the germination percent not affected after treatments whereas root length, mitotic indices as well as chromosomal morphology much more affected. As the nanoparticle size decreased, the mitotic index and root growth values were found to be decreased with the increasing in duration of treatment (hrs), at the same time, the numbers of aberrant cells were observed to be increased. Cytological changes were observed viz. disturbed chromosomes at metaphase and anaphase, laggards, fragments, bridges, chromosome stickiness and micronuclei (Mn). Our findings suggest that seed germination of the tested plant is resistance to AgNPs whereas root length as well as mitotic cell cycle were susceptible to both size particles and duration of treatment.

Abstract: Malaria causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Improvements in malaria diagnostics should facilitate the identification of individuals infected with the malarial parasites and the treatment of such cases with appropriate drugs. Traditional diagnosis, based on the microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained thick and thin films remains the main standard for diagnosis. Although it has good sensitivity and allows species identification and parasite counts, it is time consuming, requires microscopically expertise and maintenance of equipment. Advanced diagnostic techniques based on the detection of nucleic acid (including PCR) are now available. A total of eighty six (86) blood specimens were collected from all patients associated with symptoms that admitting physicians on duty considered indicative of a malaria infection (fever, abdominal pain, jaundice and black urine). Among the 86 suspected cases revealed 46(56%) were positive while 40(44%) were slide negative by microscopic examination compared to 61(70%) examined by PCR diagnosed positive for Plasmodium genus given 153 base pair PCR product. The thin films showed parasitaemia ranged from 1+ to 4+.

Abstract: Lactose intolerance (LI) is a disturbing problem for patient who can’t digest lactose owing to deficiency in their intestinal β-galactosidase enzyme. β-galactosidase enzyme is a one of hydrolysis enzymes that splits lactose into glucose and galactose and each of them are easily digested in intestine. Two possible processes can be used for solving LI problem, the augment of lactase or the addition of probiotics that have the ability to metabolize lactose. To accomplish the two goals, sixteen Escherichia coli strains were investigated for their ability to produce β-galactosidase enzyme and the highest β-galactosidase producer strain, MS-29, was selected for UV manipulation. The enzyme productivity of the best 5 mutants, MS-29-M3, MS-29-M4, MS-29-M30, MS-29-M40 and MS-29-M44, were increased more than one fold. To check lactose removing ability, potent mutants were cultivated on various milks including cow’s milk, goat’s milk and drinkable yogurt with lactose content as 4, 3 and 6% respectively. Lactose removing ability was enhanced by all mutants and complete lactose removing from goat’s milk samples was done successfully within 72h cultivation. MS-29-M3, best mutant either in β-galactosidase productivity or lactose removing ability, could be recommended as lactase producer strain and  LI probiotic.

Abstract: A field study was carried out during the two successive winter seasons of (2009/2010 and 2010/2011) at El-Nubaria Agricultural Research Station, (ARC), El-Behera Governorate, Egypt. This study aims to investigate the effect of two tillage systems, minimum (Tm) and conventional (Tc), and also to study the effect of two organic manures FYM (F), Compost (M) in compare with and no addition (C) on  some physio-chemical properties of calcareous soil, productivity and NPK uptake of faba bean cultivar, (Vicia faba L., var. Egypt 1). In general, all of soil parameters under study showed significant response to tillage systems and to organic manures addition. The results revealed that tillage methods had significantly effects on the physical and chemical properties of soil i.e., increase both of hydraulic conductivity and total porosity. As well as, decreasing in bulk density, organic matter content and EC of soil under conversional tillage method (Tc) compared to minimum tillage method (Tm). Also, the results indicated that organic manures can be used successfully to improve the physical and chemical properties of the soil whereas; they cause decreasing in bulk density, pH and EC. On the other hand, its cause increasing organic matter content, total porosity and hydraulic conductivity of soil. Faba bean productivity and NPK uptake were significantly responded to tillage systems and organic manures. Conventional tillage and addition manures (Tc) + (M) or (F) cause enhance yield and NPK uptake of faba bean in compare to minimum tillage without addition manures (Tm) + (C).

Study Design: Prospective cross sectionalstudy. Place and duration of study: the present study conducted at Gynecological and Diagnostic Radiological departmentat AL ZahraaUniveristy Hospital, fromMay 2010 to Septemper 2011.  Methodology: Fifty women complaining of postmenopausal bleeding were included transvaginal ultrasound, sonohysterography were done followed by endometrial biopsythen findings of both Tvsand sIswere comparedwith Histopatholgical results. Results: Histopathologic correlation was obtained in the 50 patients who underwent successfultransvaginal ultrasound, sonohysterography, by means of subsequent endometrial biopsy.Endometrial pathologic conditions were present in 49 cases of 50 patients (98%). Diffuse pathologic conditions were demonstrated in 20 patients (40%) they includedhyperplasia in 15 cases (30%), diffuse atrophic endometriumin 2 cases (4%) and endometrities in3 cases (6%). Focal pathologic conditions were demonstratedin 29 patients (58%): theyincludedendometrial carcinoma in 4 cases (8%), endometrial polyp in 11cases (22%), submucous fibroid in 7cases (14%), mural fibroid in 6cases (12%)and liomyosarcoma in one case (2%).  Coclusion: TVS had high accuracy in detecting endometrial hyperplasia. However, saline Sonohystrography (SIS) compined with endometrial biopsy seems to be superior to transvaginalsonography in detecting uterine abnormalitiesin postmenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding includingpolypoid lesions, intramuralmyoma, endometrial atrophyand may reduce demand for hysteroscopy.
