The photoluminescence features of Eu(3+)-, Tb(3+)-, Tb(3+)/Eu(3+)-alginate aerogel (hydrogel and alcogel) and Eu(3+)-alginate xerogel hybrids were investigated. The Eu(3+)-alginate aerogel and alcogel exhibit the highest (5)D0 quantum efficiencies (9.9 and 8.2%, respectively), while the hydrogel and xerogel have lower values (5.2 and 5.6%, respectively). The Tb(3+)/Eu(3+) hybrids are multiwavel...

The Avanah Formation (Middle Eocene) was studied in the Haibat sultan section at Bina Bawi Anticline, Northeast of Erbil city within Iraqi Kurdistan region. field observation indicated that formation occurs as Carbonate interbeds lower and middle parts Gercus Formation, which consists mainly light yellowish to creamy color, well-bedded, marly, dolomitic limestone with some intercalations sandst...

abstract this research was conducted to study the effects of different light colors on growth indices (growth rate and specific growth rate), feed conversion and survival rate in tiger barb (barbus tetazone) fish for 6 weeks. 120 fish with an average weight 75 ±0.02 were respectively divided in four groups of white, natural, green and blue colors (with three replicates for each treatment). fish...

Plasma cell granuloma, on lung inflammatory pseudotumour, is a localized benign proliferation of plasma cells and mesenchymal cells. We report the case of a 45 yr old male, who first presented with mild pain in the left side of the chest. Chest radiography was normal. Eight weeks later he had more pain and an opacity in the left and lower zones of his left chest. After another 7 weeks he had fe...

Severe, white sheathing of the retinal vessels and yellowish-white placoid lesions, suggesting frosted-branch angiitis, were found in both fundi of a 24-year-old woman. Fluorescein angiography showed hypofluorescence of the placoid lesions in the early phase and hyperfluorescence in the late phase. Indocyanine green angiography showed hypofluorescence during all phases. These findings imply an ...

Lobelia hongiana, a new species of Campanulaceae from Guangxi, South China, is described and illustrated here. This new species is most similar to L. chinensis and L. loochooensis, but differs by its elliptic-obovate or oblanceolate leaf, 2.5-3 mm long greenish-carmine hypanthium, 5 or 6 calyx lobes, purplish-white corolla, with yellowish-green blotches at the base of lower lobes, glabrous fila...

Şiir, roman ve anlatı türlerinde eser veren Lâle Müldür, 1980 sonrası Türk edebiyatının önemli şairlerinden biridir. Bazı şiir kitaplarında (Kadınes’te Müldür’ün şiirlerine Ercan Arslan’ın tabloları eşlik eder) resimle şiiri buluşturan Servet-i Fünûn dönemindeki tablo altına yazma modasını yeniden başlatırcasına şiirle görselliği örtüştürür. Sarartı/Safran adlı kitabında İngilizce, Almanca İtal...

Knockout mice lacking steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1, officially designated Nr5a1) have a complex phenotype that includes adrenal and gonadal agenesis, impaired expression of pituitary gonadotropins, and structural abnormalities of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus. To explore further how SF-1 regulates endocrine function, we used bacterial artificial chromosome transgenesis to develop a line...

The metabolism of apoprotein B-containing plasma lipoproteins by human splanchnic tissues has been studied in 29 men undergoing coronary angiography. Before catheterization autologous radio-iodinated lipoproteins were infused into a peripheral vein: 10 subjects received (125)I-labeled Sf 12-60 lipoproteins; 12 received (125)I-labeled Sf 12-60 plus (131)I-labeled Sf 100-400 lipoproteins; and 7 r...
