objective: the aim of present study was to evaluate the quality, density and thickness of newly formed bone in experimental defects treated with combi-pack®, bio-oss® and biostite®. materials and methods: eight new zealand white rabbits were included in this randomized,blinded study. four equal 3×6 mm bone defects were created on the frontal and parietal bones of each animal and three were imme...

the co-inoculation of mulberry with phosphate solubilizing micro-organisms, nitrogen fixing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhiza has influenced its macronutrient uptake through leaf. the data revealed that maximum nitrogen (484.12 kg /ha) , phosphorus (59.83 kg /ha) and potassium (244.61 kg/ha) uptake through leaf has taken place due to co-inoculation treatments as compared to the un inoculated t...

background: bio aerosols include airborne micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc and their products. exposure to a bio aerosol is linked with a broad spectrum of health problems, including infectious diseases, acute toxic effects, allergies, and cancer. the aim of this study was to evaluate the quality and quantity of bio aerosols found in the air of different wards in valiasr ho...

We have recently used genetic programming to automatically generate an improved version of Langmead’s DNA read alignment tool Bowtie2 [RN/12/09, Sect. 5.3]. We find it runs more than four times faster than the Bioinformatics sequencing tool (BWA) currently used with short next generation paired end DNA sequences by the Cancer Institute, takes less memory and yet finds similar matches in the hum...

b a ckground:   eco-faunistic  studies  are  inevitable  step  in  environmental  researches.  aquatic  organisms  like caddisflies are known as biological indicators for water quality assessment and water resource management. they have special role for energy flow in the freshwater habitats as food web and food chain among aquatic creatures. methods: in addition to an extensive literature revi...

phytoplanktons are the first bio- indicators of pollution in aquatic ecosystems. phytoplankton assemblage and aquatic ecosystems are always influenced by environmental factors therefore these environmental changes and threats must be understood in any ecosystem. phytoplankton are inexpensive and readily available bio- indicators. in the present study, phytoplankton were used to study the sefid ...

in this study, a bacterial species which could remove lead from wastewater was isolated from lead contaminated soil prepared in the laboratory. based on the biochemical and morphological characterization the bacteria were identified as brevundimonas vesicularis. the biosorption potentiel of powdered dry biomass of b. vesicularis was investigated by batch adsorption experiments. it was found tha...

Climate change and demand for greener energy alternatives are putting increased pressure on the use of agricultural land for not just for food and fibre production but also biofuels, carbon sequestration, biodiversity and other non-traditional uses. A key question is how this competition might impact on not only future land use but also on the composition of the supply chains that process the p...
