In order to study the genetic control of resistance to COMMON smut in maize, two resistant inbred lines, K1264/1 and K47/2-2-21 and two susceptible inbred lines, K3304/1-2 and K47/2-2-1-3-3-1, were crossed as K1264/1 × K3304/1-2, K47//2-2-21 × K3304/1-2 and K1264/1 × K47/2-2-1-3-3-1. The F1, F2, BC1 and BC2 progenies were produced and evaluated along with parents using randomized compelet block design with three replications. All generations were artificially inoculated with spordia of Ustilago maydis suspension. Inoculation was carried out 7-10 days after silking through injection of 3 ml of 106 spores/ml fungal suspension, using tip injection method. At maturity, disease severity was determined based on ears infection and analysed according to generation means analysis method for three crosses. Joint scaling test showed that the presence of additive, dominance and epistasis effects, especially additive × additive and dominance × dominance type, and in lesser extent, additive × dominance, in genetic control of resistance to maize COMMON smut. Average broad and narrow-sense heritability based on three crosses data were estimated 80.3 and 57.3, respectively.

The use of zeolite was investigated to improve the environmental condition of COMMON carp. The fingerlings of 13 grams were tested in 4 treatments. Each treatment contained 60 fish and 3 replications, in RBD experiment design. The treatment was performed 20, 40, 80 and 120 mg/l and one without zeolite as control. EC, T, O2 and salinity was equal but the amount of No2, NO3, NH4 and total hardness, was lower in zeolite treatment compared to the control group. Other parameters such as TDS, pH and sulfide were not different. The results showed that using zeolite can improve the water condition but the SGR, PER, FCR and total weight, in spite of pronounced difference between the dosage of 8 and 120 mg/l, the difference was not significant. In treatment of 80 mg/l, weight increased for 31%, GR for 29%, SGR for 29%, PER for 42%, more than the control group. FCR in the control group was 3.07 while in treatment with 80 mg/l zeolite, it was 2.34.The present study showed by using zeolite and by good management to improve the water condition, it is possible to improve the growth parameters of fish.

This paper is proposed a novel topology of a single phase grid connected inverter in order to conquest the COMMON mode leakage current. There are many topologies presented so far, But none of them has the efficiency more than 98 percent. In this paper, a modern configuration is presented that, not only delete the COMMON mode leakage current, but also increase the efficiency and power density and is affordable. this inverter consists of 6 switches and 2 diodes that in compare with similar ones, it has less element number. Than the famous topologies like H5, H6 and HERIC, the power loss and voltage stress on switches are decreased. These aspects are appears due to exclusive leg configuration and the placement of switches and diodes. The freewheel path revealed, decoupled DC side from AC side of Inverter which results in disconnecting the COMMON mode current. This issue will modify the network reliability indices and maintain safety standards. Finally the performances of proposed inverter will be compared and evaluated with some available Inverters.

Background: COMMON variable immune deficiency (CVID) is the COMMONest symptomatic primary immunodeficiency and represents a heterogenous collection of disorders resulting mostly in antibody deficiency and recurrent infections. The syndrome includes impaired B-cell maturation, impaired somatic hyper mutation, reduced numbers of circulating memory and isotype-switched memory B cells, and absent or reduced plasma cells. B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a tumor necrosis family receptor superfamily member 17 (TNFRSF17), expressed only on B cell lines, and is essential for survival of long-lived plasma cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate mutations in BCMA in patients with CVID in compare with normal individuals in Isfahan, Iran.Methods: Blood samples were collected from 10 CVID patients with substitutive immunoglobulin therapy before immunoglobulins (Ig) infusion and 10 normal controls in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) tubes then DNA samples were extracted and after the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was done, samples were sequenced.Findings: After reviewing the results of the sequence and alignment of the sequences, no mutations in the gene were seen.Conclusion: In addition to the study of mutation in BCMA gene, BCMA gene and protein expression level should be considered to understand more aspects of this disease.

Mullā Sadrā appeared in the philosophical field when the prevalent philosophical questions were principality of existence and principality of quiddity. Although he first held the theory of principality of quiddity, later in a cognitional rotation he accepted the theory of principality of existence. Such a rotation gradually causes a wide revolution in the realm of philosophy, and consequently it yields principles such as unity of existence, ANALOGICITY of existence, and intensification of existence. He propounds external objectivity of existence, knowledge, beauty and other qualities of perfection as his philosophical principles. Thus, due to Mullā Sadrā 's basic principles, we can attain to principles such as principality of beauty, unity of beauty, ANALOGICITY of beauty, and intensification of beauty.      

In the Islamic philosophy and Sufism there has. put forward different points of view on the unity and multiplicity of existence. This paper seeks to develop the above-mentioned subject in a comparative discussion. To achieve this, it first refers to the point of view ascribed to the Peripateticism, and next it indicates the viewpoint of the transcendent theosophy; then, it explains the viewpoint of Sufism and finally, comparing the two recent points of view, it attempts to show their similarities and differences.

In this study, the effect of onion powder, savory and inulin (prebiotic) in different treatments containing control group, 1% inulin treatment, 1% savory treatment, 1% onion treatment and 1% a mixture of savory and onion treatment (each one in the amount of 0.5%) on some activity of antioxidant enzymes and blood parameters of juvenile carp were examined in triplicate for 45 days. In each 300 liter water tank, 10 fish with initial average weight of 19.96 ± 0.08 g were storage. The fish were fed to satiation triple daily. At the end of the period, the activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase), malondialdehyde(MDA) value as an indicator of lipid peroxidation in blood plasma of fish and blood factors (hematocrit, hemoglobin) were evaluated. The results showed that the activity of antioxidant enzymes was higher in all treatments compared to the control group, which was significant in the treatments of herbal supplements (P<0.05).Also, the hemoglobin and hematocrit values were increased more significantly in 1% savory and 1% inulin treatments compared with the control group (P<0.05).Furthermore, the value of MDA reduced more significantly in 1% savory and 1% inulin treatments compared with the control group (P<0.05). So, based on the results, in order to reduce lipid oxidation and improve the physiological status of fish, it is recommended to use 1% savory powder or 1% inulin in the diet of juvenile carp fish.
