TEHRAN， April 11 (Xinhua) -- Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hossein Jaber Ansari said here on Monday that Iran and Russia have signed a new deal on the delivery of S-300 missile defense system and that it is in the process of implementation.

　　"The first stage of the new contract has been implemented and we hope that， based on the new plan， the contract will be completed in its due time，" Jaber Ansari said in a response to a question of whether Iran has received the first batch of S-300 equipment in its northern port city of Anzali.

　　Earlier on Monday， some media outlets quoted Iranian spokesman as saying that Iran has received the first batch of the equipment pertaining to the missile system.

　　However， Jaber Ansari later criticized as inaccurate media reports about his remarks on the S-300 issue， saying that he was referring instead to "the implementation of the first stage of the new deal，" according to Iranian Student News Agency news agency.

　　Jaber Ansari did not elaborate on what is being implemented about the new contract.

　　In March， RIA Novosti news agency reported that Russia would hand over the first batch of the S-300 defense missile systems to Iran in August or September.

　　Russia and Iran signed an 800-million-U.S. dollar contract in 2007， according to which Moscow would supply Tehran with five S-300 missile systems.

　　In September 2010， then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev canceled the contract in line with a United Nations Security Council resolution， which banned such deals with the Islamic Republic.

　　In April 2015， Russian President Vladimir Putin lifted the ban as Iran withdrew a lawsuit against Russia over the cancellation.

　　The S-300 is regarded as one of the most potent air defense systems.

LONDON Nike Air Huarache Ultra Breathe Triple White Online , Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- An international team of researchers has developed a sophisticated 3D imaging technique to track in real time how disposable Lithium batteries degrade during normal use, according to a study released Friday by the University College London (UCL).

The study follows calls from investigators in August 2015 for a safety review of all lithium battery-powered equipment on planes after a fire broke out on board a grounded Boeing 787 Dreamliner at Heathrow Airport in 2013.

The UCL-led team used cutting edge X-ray imaging techniques to track different types of wear and tear which cause performance loss and linked this wear to design features of the commercial battery.

The images formed cross-section time-lapse videos showing the damage occurring on the electrodes inside the battery in real time, according to the study.

"Electrical activity was high in some areas of the cell Nike Air Huarache Ultra Breathe Triple Black Outlet , whereas it was low in others; layers of electrode material separated and cracked. All of these changes in structure affect the flow of electricity and reduce the performance of the cell," said Donal Finegan from UCL, who worked on the study.

This could give a new way to non-invasively monitor performance loss and guide the development of more effective commercial battery designs.

"We effectively mapped the activity and strain on the material inside the battery which will help manufacturers predict how a particular battery will perform during operation and over time. We see this is a valuable tool for optimizing the material used in commercial batteries Cheap Womens Nike Air Huarache Run Ultra Br White , which will improve their resilience," Finegan also said.

TOKYO, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- The Nikkei stock index surged 1.28 percent Thursday to a near seven-year closing high as the U.S. dollar's recovery was sparked by Wall Street's overnight rally Womens Nike Air Huarache Ultra Sandals Pink On Sale , sending exporter issues here higher.

The Nikkei 225 index added 206.69 points to close at 16,374.14, marking its highest close since November 2007 Womens Nike Air Huarache Ultra Sandals Black Online , while the broader Topix index of all first-section issues climbed 1.53 percent, or 20.25 points, to finish at 1 Mens Mizuno Wave Prophecy 2 Red Black Outlet ,346.43.

Investors who were in a risk-off mood Wednesday on geopolitical concerns as conflicts in Syria and Iraq intensified following U.S.- led airstrikes, ploughed into a broad range of issues Thursday as Wall Street's rally overnight saw the U.S. dollar rise to 109.21 yen, up from 109.04 yen logged in New York and 108.52 yen in Tokyo earlier Wednesday.

Local analysts said that exporters became an attractive proposition following investors hedging on safer havens like currency yesterday rather than riskier assets Clearance Mens Mizuno Wave Prophecy 2 Blue Orange , which pushed the yen higher versus other currencies, pressuring exporters like Japan's electronics and auto makers.

The U.S. dollar strengthened in part due to the latest data showing sales of new U.S. houses jumped 18 percent -- the most since May 2008 and the biggest one-month jump in almost 22 years.

"The currency at these levels is positive for Japanese exporters' earnings. Growth in U.S. housing raises expectations for an increase in consumption, which leads to companies increasing capital spending Wholesale Mens Mizuno Wave Rider 18 Black White Green , and that should benefit Japanese exporters," said Shinkin Asset Management Co.'s Naoki Fujiwara.

Other strategists like Hiroaki Hiwada added that solid performances on other Asian bourses including China's helped underpin the market and encouraged investors here to chase issues higher and test the market's upside.
