Introduction: In this study, we investigated the hypothesis of whether short term and moderate intense treadmill exercise could lead to a sustained reversal of peripheral neuropathy induced cold aversion by activation of endogenous opioidergic systems. Materials & Meth...

Introduction: Current data on changes in contraceptive use is required to prevent unintended pregnancies. This study aims to study trends, and patterns of contraceptive use from 2000 to 2014. Methods: This survey research uses data from three fertility surveys conducted...

The high costs of experimental works on the nanocomposites can be reduced through implementation of analytical and numerical studies. To study the effect of impact energy on the nanocomposites, a nanocomposite composedof polyurethane and clay nanoparticles is selected a...

The allelopathic effects of leaves at rosette stage of the hoary alyssum (Berteroa incana L.) against some associated grasses like, prairie June grass (Koeleria macrantha), Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis), blue-bunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata) and cheat gras...

This study focuses on the online morphology development of a typical immiscible polymer blend subjected to a shear flow field in the presence of the high percentage of an interfacial modifier. The blend components were fluid at room temperature. To follow the details of...

Monogenic basaltic cinder cones and lava flows from west of Khash are part of volcanic arc of northern Makran, formed as a result of subduction of Oman oceanic lithosphere beneath the Eurasian plate. The basalts belong to medium-K calc-alkaline series as they contain hi...

The effect of microwave thermal treatment on mechanical properties of composites made from MDF dust-polypropylene was investigated. In this regard, nanoclay (Cloisite 15A) was added in three different (2, 4 and 6 %wt) levels into the composites. Furthermore, polypropyle...

Objectives: Social participation is an important aspect of health in ageing. It is also a part of life and a key element in function that improves physical and psychological health in the elderly. Using assistive mobility devices may influence social participation in th...

Polymer/clay nanocomposites are considered as a new subject of research in Iran and the world. Addition of a minimum amount of clay (2-5wt%) can improve the mechanical properties, enhance barrier properties and reduce flammability dramatically. Polystyrene (PS) exhibits...

Background: The so-called “Islamic State” slaughtered theYazidis in 2014 on Sinjar, when it was marked by utmost violence including genocidal acts against the Yazidis population. This study aims to investigate the resulting psychological problems in Yazidis children and...
