A specific configuration of the global subduction system is parallel triple subduction. The widely accepted example New Guinea region, including a northward dip at Britain Trench (NBT), southward Trobriand Trough (TT), and North Solomon (NST). Questions regarding remain largely unexplored in terms factors controlling its initiation, duration, dynamics. Here, we used two-dimensional numerical mo...

Numerous evolutionary studies have sought to explain the distribution of diversity across the limbs of the tree of life. At the same time, ecological studies have sought to explain differences in diversity and relative abundance within and among ecological communities. Traditionally, these patterns have been considered separately, but models that consider processes operating at the level of ind...

The functional capacities of granulocytes in patients with chronic granulocytic leukemia are still a subject of controversy, probably due to the heterogeneity of the abnormalities observed from patient to patient. For a better definition of these abnormalities, 14 patients with untreated chronic granulocytic leukemia were studied. The patients were divided into three groups on the basis of the ...

Differentiation therapy by induction of tumor cells is an important method in the treatment of hematological cancers such as leukemia. Tumor cell differentiation ends cancer cells' immortality, thus stopping cell growth and proliferation. In our previous study, we found that fucose-containing polysaccharide fraction F3 extracted from Ganoderma lucidum can bring about cytokine secretion and cell...

BACKGROUND To determine glycoserum, the nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) assay is quick, economical, convenient and easily automated. This method, however, is vulnerable to interference by thiol group, which should not be ignored during the analysis. METHODS Thiol group in glycoserum was blocked with iodoacetamide (IAM) before NBT was added. The reaction was carried out in a thermal bath and termi...

The feeling of error (FOE) is the subjective experience that something went wrong during a reasoning or calculation task. The main goal of the present study was to assess the accuracy of the FOE in the context of mental mathematical calculation. We used the number bisection task (NBT) to evoke this metacognitive feeling and assessed it by asking participants if they felt they have committed an ...

Among various treatments, plants play a crucial role in cancer chemotherapy. Base on literature data, different species of the thymeleaeceae family have been found to be good sources for anticancer agents. Therefore, our laboratory has initiated a research project on evaluating the anticancer properties of the Iranian medical plant, Daphne mucronata (Thymeleaeceae). Gnidilatimonoein is a new di...
