To observe how differences in forest management affect the genetic structure of Fagus orientalis Lipsky (oriental beech), we evaluated thirteen beech sites across Hyrcanian forests, based on six microsatellite loci. Significant differences between managed (mostly shelter wood system) and unmanaged populations was revealed. Inbreeding coefficient in managed populations was higher than unmanaged populations. A low, but significant, differentiation among all populations was found which reveals a clear geographic structure. Although the results indicate that the shelter wood system has minimum impact on the genetic diversity on a short term in oriental beech, but definitely inbreeding can increase in beech populations under intense management for long periods of time. According to these results, 4 populations from different part of Hyrcanian forests are suggested as potential in situ conservation sites.}, keywords = {Fagus orientalis Lipsky,Forest management,In situ conservation,Genetic diversity,Hyrcanian forests}, url = {https://jsciences.ut.ac.ir/article_22208.html}, eprint = {https://jsciences.ut.ac.ir/article_22208_9bf0098dd94148f35d1a1efbb408361a.pdf} } @article { author = {Omidinia, E.}, title = {New Enzymatic Colorimetric Method for the Quantitative Determination of Phenylalanine in Dry-Blood Spots}, journal = {Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran}, volume = {22}, number = {1}, pages = {5-24}, year = {2011}, publisher = {University of Tehran}, issn = {1016-1104}, eissn = {2345-6914}, doi = {}, abstract = {Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder, which is characterized by severe mental retardation, microcephaly and seizures. The symptoms of this disease can be prevented if detected soon after birth. Therefore, blood Phenylalanine (Phe) measurement is essential for the early diagnosis, treatment and dietary monitoring of PKU patients. The goal of this research was to introduce a rapid, precise and effective enzymatic colorimetric method using the recombinant Bacillus badius phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH; EC 1.4.1.20) for the quantitative determination of Phe in dry-blood spots. This test was based on the enzymatic reaction of PheDH coupled with an artificial electron acceptor system composed of phenazine methosulfate (PMS) and iodonitro tetrazolium chloride (INT). This assay system contained PMS to transfer the electrons of NADH to INT, enabling the formation of formazan with an absorbance at 490 nm. Calibration curve was plotted and the experimental data were fitted by linear regression analyze. The regression equation and correlation coefficient (R2) were Y= 0.0109x + 0.032 and R2=0.996, respectively. This method showed a recovery in the range of 95.1%-102.6% and had the limit detection of 0.5 mg/dl for Phe. The between run coefficients of variation (CVs) mean was between 3.8% and 9.1%. The within-run CVs was between 8.5% and 18.6%. Furthermore, no interferences from other amino acids and Phe derivatives were observed. Altogether, we here presented a quick and reliable enzymatic colorimetric assay for application in newborn screening and monitoring of PKU patients.}, keywords = {nzymatic method,Phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH),Phenylketonuria (PKU),Phenylalanine (Phe)}, url = {https://jsciences.ut.ac.ir/article_22209.html}, eprint = {https://jsciences.ut.ac.ir/article_22209_39be697f70fc19b157a0a02f83bf3519.pdf} } @article { author = {Shafiee, A.}, title = {Synthesis of 4-(2-Methylthiazol-4-yl)-Hexahydroquinoline and 1,4-Dihydropyrimidin Derivatives}, journal = {Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran}, volume = {22}, number = {1}, pages = {21-45}, year = {2011}, publisher = {University of Tehran}, issn = {1016-1104}, eissn = {2345-6914}, doi = {}, abstract = {A series of new hexahydroquinoline and 1,4-dihydropyrimidine derivatives were synthesized.

This anticline is affected by the Balarud fault zone, which is a part of Mountain Front Fault between the Lurestan and Dezful Embayment zones. Based on the measurement of the elements of fold style, this anticline is analyzed. According to these measurements, this anticline is a noncylindrical, asymmetrical and disharmonic fold. The anticline is a z-fold and verges slightly to the southwest. The tightness and bluntness of folding suggests that fold is gentle to close and subangular respectively. Broad to wide is suggested as disccriptive term of the aspect ratio. Based on Ramsay's classification the fold is subclass 1B to 1C. The field observations, seismic profiles, cross-sections, analyses of the geometric parameters and comparison of the anticline with the fault-related fold models suggest the anticline as a detachment fold that is probably sheared by this zone. The sinistral shear of this zone, due to a system of shear fractures is discussed. These fractures (C, D, E, F, and G sets) which occur obliquely with respect to fold axis are shear fractures. Another fracture system including A and B sets are parallel and perpendicular to fold axis respectively. These fractures formed in association with folding. It seems that two phases are responsible for forming of these fractures. A and B sets were formed in first phase and associated with formation of anticline. The shear fracture system was formed in second phase and is under effect of this zone.}, keywords = {Balarud fault zone,Zagros fold-thrust belt,Khushab anticline,Detachment folding}, url = {https://jsciences.ut.ac.ir/article_22212.html}, eprint = {https://jsciences.ut.ac.ir/article_22212_38e23d91043fbcf719af911ad674c677.pdf} } @article { author = {Ivaz, K.}, title = {Newton-Product Integration for a Stefan Problem with Kinetics}, journal = {Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran}, volume = {22}, number = {1}, pages = {51-111}, year = {2011}, publisher = {University of Tehran}, issn = {1016-1104}, eissn = {2345-6914}, doi = {}, abstract = {Stefan problem with kinetics is reduced to a system of nonlinear Volterra integral equations of second kind and Newton's method is applied to linearize it.
