Evaluation of Factors Influencing Internet Banking Acceptance by Internet Users in Iran

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT ---------------------------------------------------------- Purpose – The purpose of the study was to identify the factors underlying the decision to adopt online banking in Iran. Design/methodology/approach – The samples used in this empirical study includes 560 persons who were among Iranian Internet users and completed the interactive questionnaires. The statistical analysis which has been used in regard to the dichotomous decision of whether to adopt Internet Banking services was Logistic Regression. Findings – The results show that one of the dominant relationships that have been observed in our study is the link between the decision to use Internet Banking and the experience of using Internet. Certain demographic variables like gender also proved to be robust predictors of the adoption status. This inquiry documents that perceived level of security of Internet transactions in Iran Internet users don’t have impact on acceptance of Internet Banking. These findings can provide a valuable tool for the expansion of Internet Banking and remove impediments of Internet Banking acceptance. Practical implications – The results presented in this paper can be of assistance to financial institutions that either operates in Iran or Islamic countries. Useful insights are also provided with regard to security and strategies fostering the acceptance of Internet Banking. Originality/value – The analysis is based on a random sample of Internet users at Iran that rarely discussed in previous literature.
Pathogen profile and MMP-3 levels in areas with varied attachment loss in generalized aggressive and chronic periodontitis

Introduction The progression of periodontitis depends on the changes in bone and connective tissue homeostasis and the imbalance of the biofilm and the host immunoinflammatory response, particularly matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). Aim of the study To assess the probable relation between subgingival anaerobic flora and the expression of MMP-3 in patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis (AgP), chronic periodontitis (CP) and healthy subjects, and to evaluate these levels according to varied tissue loss severity. Material and methods The plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment levels (CAL) were evaluated. MMP levels obtained from gingival sulcus fluid (GCF) were measured with Enzyme Linked Immuno Assay (ELISA). The bacterial counts were determined with Parocheck®. Results Higher levels of MMP-3 in patients with AgP compared to subjects with CP and healthy individuals were observed. The microorganisms responsible of possible tissue destruction in both AgP and CP are red complex bacteria. T. denticola, T. forsythia, P. intermedia and F. nucleatum show positive correlation with MMP-3 levels. Conclusions MMP-3 is a biomarker associated with AgP, and red complex bacteria levels are correlated with increasing periodontal tissue loss in both periodontitis forms. The diagnosis of aggressive periodontitis, or site-specific treatment strategies can be orchestrated based on the evaluation of MMP-3 and the bacterial counts in patients with periodontitis.
Correlation of Leptinemia with Components of Metabolic Syndrome in Moroccan Youths: Influence of Obesity, Blood Pressure, Gender and Stage of Puberty

Objective: To evaluate correlation of leptinemia with components of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in Moroccan youths, and effect of obesity, Blood Pressure (BP), gender and puberty stage on MetS-components. Study design: Anthropomorphic, metabolic and clinical parameters [Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist Circumference (WC), energy intake, Blood Pressure (BP), Plasma levels of lipids, leptin, Alanine-Amino Transferase (ALT), Apo-B, Uric Acid (UA), glucose, insulin and Insulin Resistance (IR) (Homeostasis-Model-Assessment (HOMA-IR) and Fcβ (intra hepatic-IR)] were determined in 82 obese and 51 non-obese, male and female youths at different stages of puberty. Results: Obesity was a major but not the only determinant of levels of leptin, BP, triglycerides, insulin, UA and ALT, and HOMA-IR, Fcβ; BMI was correlated with WC, BP and UA. Girls had higher leptin levels than boys, irrespective of obesity. Higher puberty stage was associated with higher values of BP, leptin, and ALT, irrespective of gender. Leptinemia was correlated with MetS-components: BMI, WC, BP, cholesterol, triglycerides, Apo-B, insulin, UA and HOMA-IR in all subjects; 10.8 16.2% of obese youths had MetS. Conclusions: Leptinemia was correlated with several MetS-components. Hyperleptinemia in youths, indicating leptin resistance and IR, could predict development of MetS and cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Early detection of MetS may be helpful in identifying those at risk for T2DM and CV disease, and preventive measures may be protect them from development of metabolic and cardiac disorders in the future. *Corresponding author: A.

Endodontic Treatment of a Maxillary First Premolar with an Unusual Working Length: A Clinical Case Report

Purpose: To report a clinical case of unusually long maxillary first premolar submitted to nonsurgical endodontic treatment. Case presentation: A 32 year old male patient that presented on account of severe toothache in upper right quadrant of 3 weeks duration. His medical history was not contributory. Clinical examination revealed no soft tissue abnormality in relation to the tooth, however there was distooclusal carious lesion which affected less than one third of the crown of the maxillary right first premolar. There was severe tenderness to digital percussion. Periapical radiograph showed unusually long tooth 14 with coronal radiolucency communicating with the pulp, there was minimal periapical radiolucency and widening of periodontal ligament space. Diagnosis of apical periodontitis secondary to class II dental caries was made and patient planned for root canal treatment with subsequent Porcelain Fused to metal crown. Anaesthesia was achieved by infiltration technique using (2% lidocaine 1:100,000 adrenalin) and access cavity made on tooth 14 after appropriate isolation. Palatal and buccal canals were located and working length determined by tactile method confirmed radiographically to be 29 mm and 28 mm respectively which required using the longest files 31 mm available for the biomechanical preparation. Tooth was obturated with Gutta percha using the cold lateral compaction technique. Conclusion: This case described a maxillary first premolar with unusual working length of 29 mm during a routine non-surgical endodontic procedure as compared to the mean value of 21.5 mm reported in the literatures.

Evaluation the Effect of Single and Multiple Administration of Tramadol on Sedation and Analgesia in Sheep's

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate effect of single (acute) and multiple-dose(chronic) of tramadol intramuscular injection on pain threshold after stimulation by electrical stimulator. Martials and Methods: Eight male sheepwere used in the study were randomly divide into two groups. Group1 (control): receiving 0.9% normal saline intramuscular. Group2 (single-doseadministration): receiving tramadol 5mg/kg intramuscular. The animals in Group 1and 2 were treated dailywith intramuscular injection of normal saline IM (5 mg/kg) and tramadol IM (5 mg/kg) respectively for three days. The pain threshold were evaluated at 0 15, 30, 45, 60 minute after administration single dose in all group by using electrical stimulator. The intensity of pain response (analgesia) were recorded and sedation were evaluated. Results: The estimated showedsignificant increase in pain threshold between pre and post treatment that which represent the analgesic activity of tramadol.Increase in pain thresholdwere significantly higher than baseline values at all estimation times after administration of tramadol and were lower tonear to the baseline after 60 minute. The peak of analgesic activity was at 45 minute in single and multiple administration and there is no significant difference in peak of analgesic activity between single and multiple administration. Sedation are the adverse effects were observedin single and multiple administration but the degree of sedation is more in multiple dose than in single doseafter administration of tramadol. Results showed that no significant differences between singleI.M administration of tramadol at 5mg/kg and multiple-dose regimen for three days on bone marker (Specific Bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) and Osteocalcin (OC)). Conclusions: Single and multiple administration of tramadol produce good andintensity analgesic activity, thus can be use tramadol in sheep as a good analgesic drug with little side effects and without effect on bone density.
Optimization and quality evaluation of infrared‐dried kiwifruit slices

Abstract Infrared drying characteristics of kiwifruits under natural and forced drying air convection with different conditions were investigated. An experimental study along with statistical analysis aimed to evaluate quality characteristics of infrared‐dried kiwifruit slices, in terms of drying time, rehydration ratio and shrinkage as a function of infrared power levels, slice thicknesses, slice distance from the infrared lamps, and air velocity. Response surface methodology was used for optimization of drying parameters with employing desirability function. Minimum drying time, shrinkage, and maximum rehydration ratio assumed as criteria for optimizing drying conditions of kiwifruit slices were strongly dependent on the drying conditions. All operating variables had a significant effect on total responses, but slice thickness almost was the most prominent factor. The slices dried at the highest power level, the lowest distance from the Infrared lamp, the least thickness, and air velocity showed a higher rehydration capacity than slices dried at the other conditions.
Performance Evaluation of 24GHz Spectrum Indoor Wireless Radio Links

Wireless communication systems are susceptible to propagation impairments such as scattering, interference, multipath fading, and delay spread. Furthermore, unlike wired networks in which signals propagate in a confined media characterised by high quality system performance and high data rates up to 10Gbps, wireless signals propagate through the air and are as a result prone to security attacks. As WLANs are becoming vital tools to meet the demand for wireless internet services, it becomes imperative to study novel approaches for achieving good access and high data rate transmission. The conventional WLAN network standards by IEEE802.11 family are characterised by maximum data rate of 54Mbps. This is below the required bandwidth for channel intensive applications such as multimedia services, uncompressed video streaming, fast file uploads and downloads. Also, the numerous subscribers competing for seamless wireless internet connection has overcrowded the network channels in microwave bands, resulting in poor performance and degradation of the entire WLAN networks. As much as 1Gbps and higher data rates communication are attractive for several application described above, this technological goal can only be realised by engaging millimetre wave (MMW) spectrum. The Spectrum bands at 24GHz, 28GHz, 38GHz and 60GHz are currently being focused on to support shorter-range, high-speed communication systems. These bands are capable of the Gb/s throughput as required by bandwidth intensive and multimedia consumer-oriented applications . The potentials of 24GHz spectrum for gigabits data rate delivery performance in real time applications was investigated in this work.
Associative Effect of Non-Starch Polysaccharide Enzymes and Probiotics on Performance, Nutrient Utilization and Gut Health of Broilers Fed Sub- Optimal Energy Diets

The aim of this work was to investigate the associative effect of Non-starch Polysaccharide enzymes and probiotics on performance in broiler. One hundred and fifty day old Cobb broilers were randomly allocated in five experimental groups, six replicates per group and five birds per replicate. The experimental birds received corn-soy bean based standard diet(SD) and low calorie basal diet (BD) (225kcal/kg ME less) supplemented with NSP enzymes and/ or probiotics. Chicks fed BD supplemented with NSP enzymes and probiotics recorded significantly (P<0.05) higher body weight gain compared to BD and no effect on total feed intake was observed. The BD supplemented with probiotics alone or along with NSP enzymes improved (P<0.01) the FCR compared to BD group. The DM, CF, EE, NFE and phosphorus retentions were not influenced by supplementation of NSP enzymes and probiotics to BD. The OM, CP and GE retention was higher (P<0.05) in chicks supplemented with probiotics alone or in combination with NSP enzymes. Supplementation of NSP enzyme increased (P<0.05) the tibia ash content but no synergistic effect of probiotics and NSP enzymes was observed. The slaughter attributes in terms of dressing yield, breast yield, abdominal fat and weight of visceral organs were not affected by supplementation of NSP enzymes and probiotics alone or in combination to BD. Significant reduction (P<0.05) in intestinal pH, viscosity and E. coli count was observed with supplementation of both NSP enzymes and no synergistic effect of NSP enzymes and probiotics was observed on these variables. There was no effect of supplementing NSP enzymes along with probiotics to BD was observed on intestinal histology. Supplementation of NSP enzymes and probiotics singly or in combination significantly (P<0.01) reduced the feeding cost (P<0.05) and the cost per kg live weight gain.
Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis from gallbladder cancer mimicking diffuse alveolar haemorrhage

Diagnosis in cases with pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis as a primary manifestation is difficult due to unawareness of the cancer. An 81‐year‐old man was admitted due to a one‐week history of dyspnoea and haemoptysis. Chest computed tomography showed diffuse bilateral ground‐grass opacity and partial consolidation. We suspected diffuse alveolar haemorrhage. High‐dose methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide did not improve his condition and he died from respiratory failure. Autopsy revealed pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis of whole lungs and primary gallbladder cancer. We should consider pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis in the differential diagnosis of patients with haemoptysis and diffuse lung opacity of unknown origin.

Increased cost of chemical phosphate fertilizer in the world and huge reserves of indigenous phosphate rocks reveals the importance of using of these resources. Little information is on the combined effect of mycorrhizal fungi and foliar application of P and the types of phosphate rocks in phosphate uptake. An experiment was conducted in during 2011-2012 growing season to determine the effects of foliar and pre-plant application of P on wheat yield and yield components in wheat inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and noninoculated plants at Research Fields of University of Tehran (Karaj), Iran. The experiment was laid out as a split plot factorial based on randomized complete block design using four replicates. The first factor was (a) foliar application of phosphorus at four levels (a1=0, a2=6, a3=8 and a4=10 kg ha-1), the second factor (b) was wheat planting in the presence or absence of mycorrhizal fungi and the third factor was (c) pre-plant application of P at three levels (c1=recommended dose, c2=25% lower than recommended dose and c3=50% lower than recommended dose). Results indicated that the highest grain yield was found in plots received foliar P at 8 kg ha-1 (7.89 ton ha-1) and plots with pre-plant P at recommended dose (7.91 ton ha-1). The minimum grain yield was related to plots with foliar application of P and without mycorrhizal (6.67 ton ha-1). The greatest and lowest biological yield were detected in plots with pre-plant P at recommended dose (17.4 ton ha-1) and 25% less than recommended dose (14.9 ton ha-1), respectively. * Corresponding Author: Leila Garshasbi  l_garshacebi@yahoo.com International Journal of Biosciences | IJB | ISSN: 2220-6655 (Print) 2222-5234 (Online) http://www.innspub. net Vol. 4, No. 5, p. 154-61, 2014

Optimization of Security Performance in MANET

: Nowadays wireless technology is widely used in variety of handheld devices which required different security requirements. All this mobile computing devices enable to form mobile ad hoc network or MANET. To ensure all the transmission secured, we need suitable encryption algorithm. It can protect the confidentiality of data from malicious attack. Beside that it can be used as a mechanism to ensure that data were equipped with security features such as authentication, integrity and confidentiality. This paper will focus on the impact of performance security environment in an ad hoc wireless with a suitable encryption algorithm and transmission rate that has been determined. One simulation had been done using Matlab. Based on the result are showed that the data had been encrypted with AES algorithm gained smallest time transfer. AES produced high throughput with 50 bytes size when transmission rate is 11 Mbps and when both size and transmission increased. Meanwhile Blowfish algorithm produced high throughput in larger size when transmission rate is low. Besides that, throughput gave low impact to size in same transmission rate but high produces throughput when the value was increased.
