An empirical electrical conductivity assessment of nanofluids comprising CuO nanoparticles water-based in different CONCENTRATIONs, particles size AND various TEMPERATUREs of nanofluids has been carried out in this paper. These experimentations have been done in deionized water with nanoparticles sizes such as 89, 95, 100 AND 112 nm AND CONCENTRATIONs of 0.12 g/l, 0.14 g/l, 0.16 g/l AND 0.18 g/l so nanofluids obtain in TEMPERATUREs such as 25oC, 35oC, 45oC AND 50oC for investigation of their electrical conductivity. It is observed that, in water-based nanofluids, the electrical conductivity increases with increasing in both nanofluids TEMPERATUREs AND CONCENTRATION respectively in the range 25-50oC AND 0.12-0.18g/l. But in nanoparticles size rising in nanofluids we observe that electrical conductivity has a few increase when nanoparticles have 95nm diameters, so decrease for biggest nanoparticles such as 100 AND 112nm. It seems that there is an optimum in electrical conductivity with resize of nanoparticles.

Introduction: Canning is the most effective way to food preservation. Starch- based foods include the major food materials such as porridges. These foods due to sensitivity to high shear rates used in rotary retorts AND thus texture decomposition, usually sterilized in static retorts. Broken heating behavior, can headspace AND initial TEMPERATURE have important role on heat transfer rate AND the position of cold area in these products. Heat breaking phenomena in the thermal curve, which can be seen in foods containing starch, is essentially related to gelatinization AND destroying of starchgelstructure. Starchmaybe naturally exist in foods ormay be added to food formulations as an additive to create the consistency, filler, volumeproviders, emulsionstabilizer AND etc. However, during thermal processing of foodscontaining high amounts of starch, complexstructural CHANGES occur which leads to viscosity increases. …

Introduction: This study addresses the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the CHANGES in Outlook Questionnaire (CiOQ) questionnaire following disaster for injured athletes. CiOQ has been designed to measure both positive AND negative CHANGES following disaster. The aim of this study is to translate the short form of the questionnaire (CiOQ-S) into Persian AND examine its validity AND reliability in a sample of the injured athletes. Materials AND Methods: The 10-item English version of CiOQ was translated into Persian AND completed along with the Hospital Anxiety AND Depression Scale (HADS) in a sample of injured athletes deprived of competition (n = 207). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) AND confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to evaluate the construct validity. In addition, the Cronbach’ s alpha AND split-half coefficients were applied to measure reliability. Moreover, the convergent validity was measured using the Pearson’ s correlation coefficient. Results: The Persian version of CiOQ demonstrated a similar factor structure to that of the English version, high internal consistency, AND convergent validity with measures of anxiety AND depression support. The reliability obtained using the Cronbach’ s alpha AND split-half coefficients were higher than 0. 7 for both positive AND negative CHANGES. There was a negative correlation between positive change AND depression (P < 0. 001). However, there was a positive correlation between negative CHANGES with anxiety AND depression (P < 0. 001). Conclusion: Data indicated that the the Persian version of CiOQ is a reliable AND valid measure for assessing positive AND negative CHANGES following an adversity.

BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) is an anabolic growth factor that affects nitrogen balance AND its changing trend is not clearly understood in critically ill patients. This study was carried out to evaluate the association between serum IGF-I levels AND its changing trend in critically ill patients.METHODS: In this nested case-control study, all consecutive patients admitted to the medical ICU of Rasoul-e-Akram AND Firuzgar hospital (Tehran, Iran) from January through October 2008 were included. IGF1 CONCENTRATION was measured within the first 24h of ICU admission AND the fourth, seventh AND tenth day since admission. Patients were followed until discharge from ICU or expiration.RESULTS: The study population consisted of 90 patients (mean age: 58.01 ± 22.56), 31 (34.4%) of who died AND 59 (65.6%) were discharged. On admission, 43 patients (47.7%) had low IGF-I levels, whereas 47 (52.3%) had normal or high levels. The CONCENTRATION of IGF-I was not significantly different in every 4 measurements between expired AND discharged patients. Significant decrease was seen between first to fourth day IGF-I CONCENTRATION (p=0.005). Changing trend was not statistically different in two groups of patients.CONCLUSIONS: There was no relation between low IGF-I CONCENTRATION on admission day AND increased adverse outcome, but overall these patients had lower IGF1. No clear association was found between changing trend of IGF1 AND mortality. Stress on admission time may cause decreasing pattern of IGF-I in the first 4 days of admission.

A Study of Geometry in Islamic Architecture by Professor Golroo Najibaaghlou is a valuable work in the field of Islamic architecture. This book has a detailed preface, a brief introduction, AND five main sections. As it is known from the introduction of the book, this book was originally written for a non-Iranian audience. The first purpose of writing this book is to try to moderate public belief about geometry AND the stages of compilation AND discussion in Islamic architecture. Another purpose is to correct the negative view of the geometric documentation of Islamic architecture in the West, because such a view has created a kind of reluctance to equate the works of Islamic architecture with the great works of classical Western architecture. In addition, Najibaaghlou wants to reject AND respond to Western criticism that reduces Islamic architecture to the level of an unedited work. In the final chapter of the book, Najibaaghlou looks at the compiled documents of Islamic architecture from a Western perspective AND highlights some of the missed points of geometric sciences, including clarifying conceptualization, recording, AND transferring architectural design in the Islamic world.

In the present study, age AND growth of (Capoeta damascina) in Daleki-Hele River in Boshehr province, the south part of Iran was studied. Five age classes, ranged from 0+ to 4+ years, were determined for males AND females. The most frequent size classes belong to 11-13 cm AND 15-17 cm for males AND females, respectively. The length ranged from 72 to 224 mm AND total weight ranged from 4.9 to 226 gr. Also, the condition factor ranged from 0.68 to 1.36. The females were dominant over males (1:1.55). Significant relationships were found between total length with weight for females (lnY=2.895 lnX-10.895, R2=0.965) AND males (lnY=2.836 lnX-10.895, R2=0.959). The possible reasons for different age AND growth condition of Capoeta damascina with other studied areas are discussed.

Verticillium dahliae is an economically important pathogen causing vascular wilt on more than 160 plant species. Most strains have a wide host range. Forty-five wild isolates of V. dahlia recovered from different woody AND herbaceous plants throughout Iran. Genetic diversity of the isolates was assessed through vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) using nitrate non-utilizing (nit) mutants. Nit mutants were generated using water agar supplemented with 5-7% KClO3. Nit mutants from different isolates were used in all possible combinations. Three VC local groups were identified AND designated as VCGA, VCGB AND VCGC which correspond to VCG2B (88.8%) AND VCG 2A (8.8%) AND weakly to VCG2A (2.2%) Most of the isolates were assigned to VCG2B. The results indicated that genetic diversity of V. dahliae is very low AND there were no relationship between VCGs AND geographicalorig in of the isolates. Host specificity of V. dahliae using 18 isolates was determined on 11 different hosts plant species. Different plants reacted differently to the isolates AND were divided into three groups: very sensitive (eggplant, pistachio, cotton AND okra), semi-sensitive (sunflower, radish AND rapeseed) AND low sensitive (pepper, tomato, small radish AND cabbage). Each plant species reacted differently to each isolate. Mint was less sensitive to the pathogen (5 isolates) than other plant species tested.

In this prospective study the body TEMPERATURE were evaluated among 100 Patients with myocardial infraction (MI) between 1377-1378. The TEMPERATURE was individually AND daily recorded using a stANDard method AND the maximum TEMPERATURE AND its duration as well as its onset AND termination date was recorded. The following results were obtained:1- Following the MI onset the highest TEMPERATURE elevation was observed among females as compared to male subjects. Also it was more common among the younger subjects as compared to the elderly. However among the male subjects the time required to reach the maximum TEMPERATURE is shorter.2- The most common TEMPERATURE change, ranged between 37.5 AND 37.9 AND the maximum TEMPERATURE most commonly occurred on the second day after MI followed by the third AND first days respectively. The duration to reach the maximum body TEMPERATURE was no longer than five days.3- The most common duration of fever after MI (58%) was one day AND the extent of affected cardiac tissues did not change this time.4- In this study the most prevalent type of MI was of the inferior wall type (43%) AND there was a clear correlation between the maximum body TEMPERATURE, the extent of affected area AND location of the affected wall.5- The most common risk factors of the MI were found to be a previous history IHD (51%) AND hypertension (48%).6- Among male subjects it takes 1-3 days to reach the maximum body TEMPERATURE as compared to 3-5 days among female subjects.

TEMPERATURE CHANGES affect the productivity of employees AND production devices of companies AND, consequently, the operating profit of companies. According to the Rotating model, the value of a company is the result of the reduction of the company's dividends for life. As air TEMPERATUREs change over time, if investors consider risk-taking to bear the risk of TEMPERATURE CHANGES, the value of companies will change over time. In the present study, the relationship between TEMPERATURE CHANGES (through mere TEMPERATURE risk) AND the value of companies over time examined. In this study, a different method called "tracker portfolio" is extracted without risk of TEMPERATURE CHANGES AND then the expected return of investors in different periods estimated by the two-factor model. Finally, using the vortex model, the value of the companies calculated over time. For this purpose, a sample of about 160 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange between 2006 AND 2017 reviewed. The time series method used to investigate the research hypotheses. The results of the study indicate that only the risk of TEMPERATURE in the Tehran Stock Exchange priced AND the increase in global warming over time has reduced the value of companies, so investors need the fundamental analysis AND investment strategies. The role of TEMPERATURE CHANGES itself is considered to be an increasing factor in the expected return to achieve better results AND at the same time contribute to the efficiency of the capital marke.
