Aflatoxins are a group of fungal toxic metabolites, which are contaminated certain food commodities. ELISA is one of the sensitive methods for detection of aflatoxins. Preparation and stabilizing of a proper conjugated tracer for detection of aflatoxins is probably the main step for designing an ELISA method. In current study, different stabilizers were applied to stabilize a newly prepared con...

background: the unplanned departure of endotracheal tube is one of the main complications for endotracheal intubation. in addition to endotracheal extubation, its movement can also lead to damage to the oral cavity. stabilizing endotracheal tube is the most important factor that can prevent unplanned departure of endotracheal tube as well as its movement. the current study was done with the aim...

In quantitative genetics, there are two basic "conflicting" observations: abundant polygenic variation and strong stabilizing selection that should rapidly deplete that variation. This conflict, although having attracted much theoretical attention, still stands open. Two classes of model have been proposed: real stabilizing selection directly on the metric trait under study and apparent stabili...

Objective(s) Aristolochia indica has been widely used in the traditional medicine for the treatment of a variety of diseases. In the present study different extracts of roots of A. indica were evaluated for their anti‌inflammatory, antipruritic and mast cell stabilizing activity. Materials and Methods Anti-inflammatory activity was performed by compound 48/80 induced rat paw edema model and ...

the ideological discourse analysis and critical studies in social and human sciences have been of much interest recently. critical discourse analysis (cda) aims at discovering the negative influences of language use on the production and reproduction of power and domination relationships in society. thus, social inequalities such as race, age, religious, gender and class discrimination have bee...

Whether and how societal structures shape individual psychology is a foundational question of the social sciences. Combining insights from evolutionary biology, economy, and the political and psychological sciences, we identify a central psychological process that functions to sustain group-based hierarchies in human societies. In study 1, we demonstrate that macrolevel structural inequality, i...

This study examines the nature of media bias within the news media (for this study, newspapers and television news), the trajectories and methods through which these biases are spread and how a hegemony is formed, and looks at the qualities of this hegemony. The thesis begins with a review of some of the literature covering bias in the news media, approaching the issue from a number of angles a...
