Mud volcanoes are taken into consideration by geologists and oil industry experts have given their association with oil and gas reserves and methane greenhouse gas production in hydrosphere and atmosphere. Gomishan mud volcano phenomenon in the southeastern edge of the Caspian Sea, given its oil and gas resources, has been studied by some geologists in terms of geology and tectonics but not in ...

THE clinical efficacy of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) containing HIV protease inhibitors against opportunistic infections is now well known (Sepkowitz 1998). Widely used HIV protease inhibitors (including Saquinavir, Ritonavir, Indinavir, Nelfinavir, Amprenavir, Lopinavir, and Atazanavir) are compounds with structures that mimic the local topography around an amide bond. They ar...

culture has always been regarded as the most important element of human communities; we can easily observe cultural changes. what causes these changes has been a matter of controversy. the issues such as people’s increasingly getting detached from each other, psychopathy, behavioral abnormalities, traditions being increasingly faded away, malformation, extravagancy and value conversion into ant...

background: endometriosis is the presence of endometrial glandular and stromal cells outside of the uterine cavity. our previous study showed that in vitro culture of human endometrial tissue in a three-dimensional (3d) fibrin matrix could mimic the early stages of endometriosis with invasion gland and stroma formation and sprouting of new vessels. objective: the objective of the present study ...

Populations of Cylindrocorpus curzii (T. Goodey, 1935) T. Goodey, 1939 (1,2)isolated f rom filter effluent of the sewage treatment plant Urbana, Illinois, were propagated on Aerobacter aerogenes (Kruse) Beijerinck. A single gravid female was transferred to sterile distilled water containing .01 ~g /ml sodium hypochlorite. After 20 min, during which time several eggs were deposited, the female w...

for cage culture. Species which have been researched and successfully reared in cages in the southeastern region of the U.S. include: catfish, trout, tilapia, striped bass, red drum, bluegill sunfish, crappie, and carp. Other species may be suitable for cage culture but research has lagged behind other aquaculture research in recent years. Interest in cage culture has been revived as an alterna...

Mouse hepatocytes in primary culture were characterized. Hepatocytes were isolated by the two-step hepatic portal vein perfusion method described previously. An optimal cell attachment of 43% was noted after 2 h incubation in 10% fetal bovine serum. Minimal attachment (less than 7%) occurred in serumless medium. Serum concentrations above 10% and attachment durations greater that 2 h resulted i...

In modern society where digital technology prevails, the combination of Information and Communication technology (ICT) and the various human activities created the term e-services. This paper presents an e-culture services portal, focusing on e-culture applications like e-literature, e-gallery and music servers. The user-visitor has the opportunity to navigate through its pages which contain a ...

screening methods that are effective in the early stage of growth will potentially provide the largest quantity of breeding material. although various screening methods under greenhouse have been proposed, potential effective approaches must be described a good correlation with results under field conditions. this study was aimed to assess the correlations between traits obtained from four salt...
