objective(s): 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (mdma) one of the methamphetamine derivatives that affect the reproductive system, has not been well understood. many young people are consumers of drugs such as mdma that can affect their reproductive capability. apoptosis is the main mechanism for male infertility. pentoxifylline (ptx) increases camp intracellularly and reduces tumor necrosis f...

abstract   background: cosmetic rhinoplasty is now carried out increasingly in an attempt to solve the psychological and social problems of people who are discontent with their nose. little is known about either the psychological status of persons who seek rhinoplasty or potential psychological changes following surgery. the challenge that faces surgeons, is how to identify, before surgical int...

in this research, moisture sorptions of sayer date were determined at 20, 30, 40 and 60°c, using the standard static gravimetric method developed by the european cooperation project cost 90. several mathematical models, namely gab, bet, iglesias & chirif and halsey were employed to fit the experimental data through non-linear regression. results indicate that equilibrium moisture content increa...

background: insecticide poisoning is a major public health problem in the world, particularly in developing nations, its usage has increased in recent and past thus increased even its misuse to commit suicide. methods: this retrospective study was carried out at department of  forensic medicine & toxicology, govt. mohan kumaramangalam medical college  hospital  salem, tamil nadu, india with the...

abiotic stress are the main factors causing low growth and yield in crops. osmotic stress is an important stress and in case of salinity stress is presuming at the first step. there are different experimental and computational methods to study plant response to stress and lead to better understanding of mechanism involved in these conditions and improvement of plant tolerance to stress. upstrea...

theaim of the current study was to assess effects of different levels of origanum vulgare (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mg/l) on kinetics of gas production, some ruminal digestion and fermentation parameters, methane production and also to determine its potential in controlling rumen acidosis using in vitro method in four separate phases. in the first phase, the asymptote of gas production (a) and...

rice (oryza sativa l.) is one of the iran's most strategic crops with water shortage as the most important abiotic stress limiting its yield. in the present research the effects of: variety, water regime, nitrogen (n) and phosphorus (p) levels on n, p and k uptake were studied under greenhouse conditions. the experiment design was a factorial one based upon a randomized complete blocks of ...

in this paper, the adsorption of cerium on modified mesoporous aluminosilicate (with si/al mole ratio of 10) was studied. the effects of ph, contact time, initial concentration of cerium on adsorption of cerium were investigated. the adsorption capacity was high in the ph range of 4-8 and decreases with decreasing of the ph value. the langmuir and freundlich isotherms were applied to represent ...

introduction precipitation is one of the most important meteorological variables in comparison with other climatic parameters. it varies extremely over time and space. the occurrence of this climate phenomenon requires specific circumstances in environment. its accurate measurement is important to a wide range of decision makers including hydrologists, agriculturalists, industrialists and etc. ...
