One of the characteristics of children with developmental coordination disorder is height control disorder. Because they respond to balance and motor function disorders more slowly compared to their peers. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the effect of yoga and suspended exercises on the static and dynamic balance of children with developmental coordination disorder. This was a quasi-experimental study with a control group conducted in the spring 2023 in Tehran. In this study, 45 children with developmental coordination disorder were randomly divided into three groups of suspension exercises, yoga exercises, and control group (15 people in each group). The suspension training group and the yoga training group practiced for 6 weeks and 3sessions of 45 minutes each week, but the control group did not do any activities. In order to evaluate dynamic and static balance, the Sharpened Romberg test and the sit-up test were used in the pre-test and post-test stages, respectively. The data were analyzed using multivariate covariance analysis. The results showed that static and dynamic balance in the suspended exercise group (p<0.001) and static balance (p<0.001) and dynamic balance (p<0.01) in the yoga exercise group were significantly different from the control group. The results show that yoga and suspension intervention exercises are likely to be effective for improving the static and dynamic balance of children with developmental coordination disorder, and these exercises can be used along with other common treatments to improve the mentioned indicators.

The Marun oilfield is located in the middle part of the folded Zagros structural zone, in the Dezful embayment. In this study, using subsurface data and Geolag software, the separation zones of the reservoir anticline were determined lithologically. Factors such as porosity and shale volume were considered in determining the reservoir zones. Petrophysical studies using neutron-density, neutron-sonic, density- sonic and M-N cross plots show that the predominant lithology in this reservoir is carbonate. Based on the analysis of well log data and using neutron-density cross-plot, the Asmari Formation has a good porosity especially in the upper parts of the formation. For this reason, these parts have better reservoir quality than the lower parts. Also, the accuracy of the evaluation performed in the studied borehole had an acceptable correlation with the calculated porosity of the core. In the present study, the average shale volume based on the CGR log is 25.33%, of which the highest shale amount is concentrated in the lower part of the formation. Since each sedimentary sequence can be composed of one or more reservoir zones with their own lithological and petrophysical characteristics, so 5 reservoir zones (A, B, C, D, E) were identified in the studied borehole. In this study, zone A belongs to the upper part and zone E belongs to the lower part of the Asmari Formation sequence. Analysis of available data, appropriate porosity in the whole formation and low shale volume, especially in zones A, B, C and D indicate that almost the entire formation in the Marun oilfield has a suitable reservoir potential.

Considering the importance of heat exchangers in operational units, in this research, the differential evolution (DE) algorithm was used to optimize compact heat exchanger aim to minimize the number of entropy generation units. The number of total entropy generation units of heat and pressure in the compact heat exchanger as an objective function and six decision variables including heat exchanger length, fin frequency, fin length, number of layers of flow on both sides of the offset strip fin, fin height, and fin thickness with a series of restrictions were Investigated. The results obtained from DE optimization were compared and validated by genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The level of this algorithm in minimizing entropy generation (by 1.5 and 17.6% compared to the PSO method and GA) revealed high ability of the DE method in optimizing compact heat exchangers. Moreover, the effect of changes in control parameters in the DE algorithm on convergence and the degree of optimization of the objective function was studied

The exploration methods are divided into the direct and indirect categories. Among these, the indirect geophysical methods are more time- and cost-effective compared with the direct methods. The target of the geophysical investigations is to obtain an accurate image from the underground features. The Induced polarization (IP) is one of the common methods used for metal sulfide ore detection. Since metal ores are scattered in the host rock in the Zarshouran mine area, IP is considered as a major exploration method. Parallel to IP, the resistivity data gathering and processing are done to get a more accurate interpretation. In this work, we try to integrate the IP/RS geophysical attributes with borehole grade analyses and geological information using the cuckoo search machinelearning algorithm in order to estimate the silver grade values. The results obtained show that it is possible to estimate the grade values from the geophysical data accurately, especially in the areas without drilling data. This reduces the costs and time of the exploration and ore reserves estimation. Comparing the results of the intelligent inversion with the numerical methods, as the major tools to invert the geophysical data to the ore model, demonstrate a superior correlation between the results.

Chronic low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems. This disease, in addition to causing pain and disability affects the gait parameters in patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aquatic exercises therapy on the severity of pain, disability and Spatiotemporal parameters and kinetic of gait in women with chronic low back pain. Twenty-four women with chronic low back pain (with a mean age of 26.6 years) participated in this study. The exercise protocol was conducted in water for 8 weeks. The severity of pain and disability were measured by Quebec and Oswestry questionnaires respectively. gait parameters were evaluated using a foot pressure device. Aquatic exercises therapy significantly decreased pain and disability severity and significantly improved gait parameters in the experimental group (p≤0.05). Fore there more, the significant difference between the variables in the post-test was obtained between experimental and control groups (p≤0.05). No significant difference was observed between the pre-test and post-test comparisons in the control group (p≥0.05). Regarding the reduction of pain and disability and improvement of gait parameters after eight weeks’ intervention in experimental group, the use of this protocol is recommended to improve patients with chronic low back pain as a new method.

The elicitors are biotic and abiotic compounds that by stimulation of defensive responses causes biosynthesis and accumulation of secondary metabolites. In this research, the expression of KO, UGT85C2, UGT74G1 and UGT76G1 genes involve in production pathway of steviol glycosides in the Stevia rebaudiana were investigated under chitosan, yeast extract and methyl jasmonate as elicitors.
For this purpose, the stevia plants were treated by the elicitors in 3 concentrations of 20, 40 and 80 mg/L and then apical leaves were harvested after one month. The results showed that chitosan in the concentration of 20 (mg/L) significantly increased the expression of UGT85C2 and UGT76G1 genes compared to control plants (16 and 5%). Plus, Chitosan in the concentration of 40mg/l significantly increased the expression of UGT85C2 gene (14%). Methyl jasmonate 20mg/l caused the highest expression of KO gene, which increased by 13% in comparison with control plant. Also, the expression of UGT85C2 gene under the concentration of 20 methyl jasmonate showed a significant increase. According to the results, it was found that increasing the concentrations of chitosan and methyl jasmonate had a negative effect on gene expression profiles of steviol glycosides. Yeast extract in the concentration of 40mg/l significantly increased the expression of UGT85C2 and UGT76G1 genes, which showed 11 and 5% increase in expression, respectively. It was specified that concentration of 40mg/l compared to concentrations of 20 and 80mg/l of yeast extract had a better effect on gene expression enhancement. Hence, according to the results, it can be concluded that chitosan and methyl jasmonate at low concentrations and yeast extract in a moderate concentration can stimulate of the gene expression profiles that involved in the production of steviol glycosides, so increasing the amount of chemical compounds can be effective in the production of secondary metabolites in s. rebaudiana.

Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is a chronic disease which influences different aspects of human’s life such as the psychological and social dimensions. The patients’ recovery of balance in these dimensions needs proper and pre-planned care.The aim of this study was to biologically examine the effects of a care plan upon the extent of the patient’s adaptability with psychosocial dimensions in reference to Roy’s adaptation mod. In this clinical trial, 50 CVA patients in selected hospitals of Isfahan during 2014-2015 were selected through accessibility sampling and randomly assigned to two groups of similar size. The data were collected via researchers’ developed form of recognition and review of Roy’s Model. The care plan was developed based on the maladaptation behaviors and their stimuli which were implemented in the study group and follow-up study was also done. The control group received routine cares. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 18 and the statistical tests were analyzed. The mean score of adaptation before intervention in two groups showed there was no significant difference between psychological adjustment (i.e. self-perception, independence-dependence) and social dimension (role-playing) while a significant difference was found between two groups after intervention (P<0.001). The results of the present study showed that the designed care plan based on the Roy’s model with holistic approach and care based on cooperation among the units are able to enhance the adaptation of psychosocial dimensions among patients with CVA.
