In this systematic review, we analyzed and evaluated the findings of studies on prosodic features of vocal productions of people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in order to recognize the statistically significant, most confirmed and reliable prosodic differences distinguishing people with ASD from typically developing individuals. Using suitabl...
It is well known that eye movements are highly affected by Parkinson’s disease. The majority of studies related to effects of Parkinson’s disease on eye movements have been performed for rapid eye movements during sleep. However, in the current study, eye movements during resting-state (eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions) were studied to evaluate...

Background: Prior studies suggest that exercise may prevent movement disorders in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. In this meta-analysis, the pooled effect of exercise on PD-induced tremor was investigated.
Method: Relevant published studies (n = 7) were retrieved by searching major databases,
including Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed from 1985...
Ranking of universities regarding their web-based activities plays a pivotal role in promoting scientific advancement since it motivates the open access accessibility to scientific results. In this study, a new ranking system based on the website quality factors and traffic evaluation was proposed. Since top-ranked universities are usually consider...
Temperature is a fundamental factor that affects many functions and structural aspects of physiological systems. Despite its importance, few studies have been performed so far for investigating the compartments and mechanisms engaged in the response of cellular systems to temperature perturbation.
In this review, focusing on stem cells, we tried t...

Emotion is a fundamental factor that influences human cognition, motivation, decision making and social interactions. This psychological state arises spontaneously and goes with physiological changes that can be recognized by computational methods. In this study, changes in minimum spanning tree (MST) structure of brain functional connectome were u...
A double burden of malnutrition occurs when individuals, household members or communities experience both undernutrition and overweight. Here, we show geospatial estimates of overweight and wasting prevalence among children under 5 years of age in 105 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) from 2000 to 2017 and aggregate these to policy-relevant...
Introduction: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a well-known neurodevelopmental disorder. Diagnosis and treatment of ADHD can often lead to a developmental trajectory toward positive results. The present study aimed at implementing the decision tree method to recognize children with and without ADHD, as well as ADHD subtypes.

Purpose-Although the effect of electromagnetic fields on biological systems has attracted attraction in recent years, there has not been any conclusive result concerning the effects of interaction and the underlying mechanisms involved. Besides the complexity of biological systems, the parameters of the applied electromagnetic field have not been e...
In many cellular networks, the structure of the network follows a scale-free organization, where a limited number of cells are strongly coupled to other cells. These cells are called hub cells and their critical roles are well accepted. Despite their importance, there have been only a few studies investigating the characteristic features of these c...
The corrosion inhibition mechanism of mild steel in acidic solution and in the presence of two cationic gemini surfactants have been studied. These are two surfactants having 12-carbon hydrophobic tails: one with a tetramethylene spacer and the other one with the same spacer containing two hydroxyl groups. EIS and polarization and electrochemical n...

Dear all
I am engaged with a project, which is related to the stimulation of pancreatic beta cells with different electrical wave shapes. My computational analysis based on mathematical model of this cell shows that if induced electrical field in the membrane area arrives to several hundreds of kv/m, the electrical stimulation my change cell functions. Now I have faced with some ambiguities if the electric field in membrane area is equal to the electric field produced by applying voltages to the electrodes both sides of the cell culture medium (separated by 10 cm distance) or it is different?
any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
I am working on a project related to pancreatic beta cells. I would like to know what is the specific impact of diabetes on electrical patterns of beta cell activities. I know the diabetes reduces the amplitude of bursting and bursting mass but what about the burst duration, inter-BRST interval and the ability of disease on changing bursting status to spiking behavior?
