Halophilic bacteria grow over a wide range of salt concentrations. In this study we aimed to isolate and screen out the halophilic bacteria and to determine their activity for production of the bioactive compounds. A total of 50 water, sediments and soil samples were collected from Maharlu salt lake in southern region of Fars-Iran and subjected for isolation of the bioactive compound producing ...

This paper analyzed three middle grade novels and a short story from two cultures using the journey motif as the vehicle for the analysis. The three novels are Bud Not Buddy and The Watsons Go to Birmingham both by Paul Curtis   and Journey to Jo’burg by Naidoo (1986). The short story is My Two Dads by M. Lee.  The three novels and a short story were chosen because these no...

in the classification and structural analysis of shahnameh, the authors of the article consider the conflict between good and evil (from now on c.g.e.) as the main motif of this great epic. this motif has spread all over the epic. the number of the stories being influenced by the myth of c.g.e. is at least twice as many as every other motif in the epic. considering the antiquity of the myth and...

the compound creatures have a close relationship with mythological thoughts; in fact, they are born by the mythicizing soul of the human who was against a boundless and unknown nature. primitive humans who hadn't any weapons except thought and imagination against the greatness of the avenger nature, were under their protection; the compound creatures are the product of the imagination whic...

P. atlantica subsp. Kurdica, with the local name of Baneh, is a wild medicinal plant which grows in Kurdistan, Iran.  The identification of resistance gene analogs holds great promise for the development of resistant cultivars. A PCR approach with degenerate primers designed according to conserved NBS-LRR (nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat) regions of known disease-resistance (R) gene...

Ixodes scapularis ticks feed on humans and other vertebrate hosts transmit several pathogens of public health concern. Tick saliva is a complex mixture bioactive proteins, lipids immunomodulators, such as I. sphingomyelinase ( Is SMase) ‐ like protein, an ortholog dermonecrotoxin SMase D found in the venom Loxosceles spp. spiders. modulates host immune response towards Th2, which suppresses Th1...

CuO, Fe2O3, MnO2 and ZnO substituted 45S5 bioactive glasses were prepared. Glass derived Bioactive Glass ceramics were obtained through controlled crystallization of bioactive glasses. The formed crystalline phases in bioactive glass ceramics were identified using X ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Density and ultrasonic wave velocities of bioactive glasses and glass ceramics were measured and u...

background: the greater surface of bioactive glass nanoparticles presents an incomparable and promising feature similar to the biological apatite. nanoparticles improve cellular adhesion, enhance osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, and increase biomineralization for periodontal regeneration and dental implants. considering the fact that interaction between periodontal cells and bone g...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the long term association of subthalamic beta activity with parkinsonian motor signs. METHODS We recruited 15 patients with Parkinson's disease undergoing subthalamic DBS for local field potential recordings after electrode implantation, and at 3 and 8months post-operatively using the implantable sensing enabled Activa PC+S (Medtronic). Three patients dropped out lea...

some thoughts and events are of a prominent position in human life as if they lead human to insistence and repetition by becoming a part of his concerns and at last they represent themselves as an individual and permanent feature in his conscious and unconscious. but permanent repetition of the mentioned imagery represents a subject  of whose reality there is no information available under norm...
