in order to study seed hardening process in pomegranate, some of the relevant biochemical parameters were evaluated in fleshy part of arils or seeds in various soft and hard seeded pomegranate genotypes from the initial fruit set upto ripening stages. lignin was determined from the seeds and enzyme assays were performed on the flesh of arils. analysis of variance revealed significant difference...

bone scanning using the 99mtc-phosphate analogs is an established diagnostic modality and a commonly requested radioisotope examination for a variety of pathologies involving the skeleton, such as osteomyelitis, bony metastases, and occult fractures. the bone scan is one of the most commonly requested procedure in most nuclear medicine department. the images show areas of increased and decrease...

acetone fractionated peroxidase from crude extract of brassica oleracea leaves (cabbage) was purified in three steps on chromatographic columns, using sp-sepharose, deae-sepharose and con a-sepharose. the specific activity of purified main isoenzyme (boc-pod) is 1887 u/mg protein with rz: 3.1, which is 172 times more than the rz of crude extract with 4.3% recovery. the molecular weight of boc-p...

snake venoms contain a rich variety of factors which affect blood coagulation. there have been few reports on the anticoagulant activity of the venom of different cobras, but no such observations have been made on the iranian cobra, although a procoagulant factor has been described. in this study an anticoagulant factor has been purified from the venom of naja naja oxiana using gel filtration f...

Objective: Determination and comparison of the effect of infusion time on the antioxidant activity and total polyphenol contents of bagged and loosely packed black teas. Materials and Methods: For twenty loosely packed and eleven bagged tea samples, the antioxidant activity and total polyphenol content were analyzed using FRAP and Folin-Ciocalteau methods, respectively. The ANOVA with Tukey pos...

In this study, the electrocatalytic activity of the Co@Pt core-shell nanoparticles toward the ethanol oxidation reaction has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry in acidic and alkaline media in details. The physicochemical data obtained in alkaline solution are compared to those in acidic solution. The obtained results demonstrate that while in the both media Co@Pt core...

The paper defines and studies thin times which are random whose graph is contained in a countable union of graphs stopping with respect to reference filtration F. We show that generic time can be decomposed into thick parts, where the second avoiding all F-stopping times. Then, for given ?, we introduce F?, smallest right-continuous containing F making ? time, that, each F-martingale an F?-semi...
