to use remote sensing data effectively, one must understand the spectral characteristics of the particular features under investigations. to study the relationship between soil salinity and soil reflectance, four multispectral scanners (mss) and seven thematic mappers (tm bands) over the ardakan playa located on the central iranian desert margins were selected. in this study soil map, soil ...

the aim of this study was to detect the glutathione s-transferase(gst) enzyme activity of healthy / cystic liver as a diagnostic biomarker for hydatidosis. in order to compare with liver tissue, the level of the gsts enzyme activity of parasite was also determined.parasites were collected from sheep liver tissue with hydatid cysts at a local abattoir and washed with pbs buffer. collected parasi...

Background and Purpose: Allergy is an undesired immune response to non-pathogenic agents. However, some opportunistic microorganisms such as fungi can also cause allergy. Among those fungi, hyphae form of Aspergillus strains including A. fumigatus, A. flavus, and A. niger could be mentioned. In this study, we aimed to separate allergic proteins from Aspergillus strains and determine their ident...

Clinical strains of Stenotrophomonas (Xanthomonas) maltophilia often show large, growth temperature-dependent, variations in their susceptibility (TDVS) to aminoglycoside antibiotics. Strains showing more than a fourfold increase in susceptibility between 30 degrees and 37 degrees C (TDVS+ strains; n = 23) were contrasted with those showing lesser variation (TDVS- strains; n = 15) in studies of...

Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism spectra of the Pseudomonas blue protein and lactase B from Polyporus versicolor are presented from 190 to 700 mp. Circular dichroism spectra of both proteins show six ellipticity bands above 300 rnp associated with the copper chromophore, indicating more transitions to be present in these copper protein complexes than the three parity-forbidden...

Somaclonal variation is one of the possible sources of variation in plant breeding. To evaluate the usefulness of somaclonal variation for creating variation in Iranian cultivars of wheat, proteins, enzymes and chromosome number of regenerated and seed-produced plants of wheat (Alamout, Hyrmand and Maroon) were studied. Plantlets obtained from the immature embryos and seed culture were collecte...

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of nuclear non-histone proteins extracted with 0.15 and 0.30 M NaCl from human normal lymphocytes or leukemic leukocytes indicated a lack of bands in the highermolecular-weight regions of the gels. However, the corre sponding fractions from phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes and Burkitt lymphoma cells did contain highmolecul...
