ORGANIC ANALYTICAL REAGENTS By JOHN H. YOE, Professor of Chemistry, University of Virginia, and LANDON A. BARVER, Director of Research, American Viscose Corporation. A comprehensive treatise on organic analytical reagents. It represents probably the first attempt to collect in one volume the data hitherto scattered throughout the literature. A glossary of reagents is included, and a bibliograph...

The understanding of the reasons for human suffering and the identification of effective means to mitigate it had two major developments in the history of civilization. Aristotle, Hippocrates and other Greek philosophers were the leaders of the first revolution, when they started to explain natural phenomena through the use of logic and observation, leaving aside metaphysical grounds, and creat...

recognizing the herbaceous plant species diversity could use as an importantindicator applied for the rangeland and forests management. considering the presence ofvegetation and animal husbandry in zagros region, iran, being aware of the diversity andrichness of plant species is necessary to management or the destructed vegetationrestoration. in order to study the effect of aspect and elevation...

Background. It has recently been demonstrated that myocardial ischemia and reperfusion results in a marked decrease in the release of nitric oxide (NO) by the coronary endothelium. NO may possess cardioprotective properties, possibly related to inhibition of neutrophil-related activities. We tested the hypothesis that a cysteine-containing nitric oxide donor compound, SPM-5185, would reduce inf...

plant diversityis essential to maintain the health of planet's ecosystems. conservation of biodiversity is necessary for the ecological stability and productivity in natural ecosystems. the aim of this research was to study the biodiversity and richness of plant species (including trees, shrubs and grasses) related to the environmental factors (soil and physiography) in the forests of zagros, w...
