schizophrenia is a chronic and often debilitating illness which affects about 1% of the world population. some reagents have been used to simulate schizophrenic disorders in laboratory animals, such as amphetamine and ketamine. previous studies have suggested that reactive oxygen species (ros) production, reduced levels of atp, mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis are involved in the pathoph...

up flow anaerobic sludge blanket (uasb) reactors have been increasingly used for industrial wastewater treatment. because of existing problems in startup step of these reactors, in this research the startup of a uasb in pilot scale and room temperature condition was studied. the total height of uasb reactor was 270 cm and effective height was 240 cm. diameter of the reactor in lower part was 20...

A screen for mutations affecting flower formation was carried out and several filamentous flower (fil) alleles were identified. In fil mutants, floral primordia occasionally give rise to pedicels lacking flowers at their ends. This defect is dramatically enhanced in fil rev double mutants, in which every floral primordium produces a flowerless pedicel. These data suggest that the FIL and REV ge...

thirteen species of rugose corals, belonging to nine genera are described from the givetian and lower frasnian rocks of thekhoshyeilagh formation in the eastern alborz mountains (northeastern iran). glossophyllum ceratites (goldfuss), glossophyllum sp.,keriophyllum cf. maillieuxi (tsien), pseudozaphrentis sp., temnophyllum imperfectum coen-aubert, temnophyllum occidentale hilland jell, temnophy...

the interaction of bovine serum albumin ( bsa) and egg albumin with water solublephthalocyanine, cobalt (ιι) 4, 4′ , 4′′, 4′′′- tetrasulfophthalocyanine ( cotspc) , has been studiedby the uv- vis method at ph 7.0 and five different temperatures 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40°c. theformation constants have been elucidated by using spectrophotometric titration and computersquad program data refinement. th...

many investigators use bone matrix gelatin for bone induction but it is used rarely for repair of teeth defects. this study was designed to evaluate secondary dentin formation by endochondral bone matrix gelatin (e-bmg) in rabbit. e-bmg was prepared from tibia and femur of 4 deutsche-poland rabbits with average ages of 4-6 months. the prepared e-bmg was implanted in right incisor teeth pulps of...

asmari formation was deposited in the foreland zagros basin (southwest iran). in this research, biostratigraphy related to the asmari formation in north of khorram abad, robat namaki section, is discussed. in the studied stratigraphic section, the asmari formation overlies the shahbazan formation and underlies gachsaran formation and consists of cream to gray medium to thick limestone and marl....

introduction : efforts are being made to improve the efficacy of biomaterials used as bone substitutes for bone regeneration in the oral and maxillofacial region. graft materials have been recently produced in iran; however, studies are required to confirm their efficacy. this study aimed to compare the histomorphometric results of using mineralized allografts produced by the hamanandsaz baft k...

the determination of formation constants of binary inner transition metal complexes where m=y(iii) or la(iii) or ce(iii) or pr(iii) or nd(iii) or sm (iii) or gd (iii) or dy (iii) or th(iv) andl = creatinine have been carried out using irving–rossotti titration technique in aqueous mediaat different temperatures and at ionic strength. to understand more about the nature ofequilibrium involving i...
