This study was conducted to compare forage quality of two native halophytespecies Camphorosma monspeliaca and Limonium iranicum collected from Meighansaline rangelands near Arak city in center of Iran. Edible biomass of both species wassampled on three phonological stages (vegetative growth, full flowering and seedripening). Forage quality indices such as Crude Protein (CP), Dry Matter Digestib...

During a brief visit to Bangladesh, in December 2005, I spotted a recent edition of the national encyclopaedia (the Banglapedia), in the showcase of a professor of history at Rajshahi University. I eagerly searched for a reference to the Garos, among who I had carried out research between 1993 and 2000, and to my satisfaction, discovered four whole pages devoted to their history, culture, relig...

This mechanism, called cell signaling, allows cell-cell communication and is necessary for the functional regulation and integration of multicellular organisms. Our discussion in this chapter not only provides the basis for understanding normal cell function but serves also as an introduction to the role of abnormal cell signaling in human disease. Signaling molecules are either secreted or exp...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the antimicrobial efficacy of sodium hypochlorite (sh) and calcium hypochlorite (ch) against enterococcus faecalis (e. faecalis) using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qpcr) analysis and also to compare their cytocompatibility on l929 murine fibroblasts using mossman’s tetrazolium toxicity (mtt) assay. methods and materials...

introduction: enterococcus faecalis ( e. faecalis ) has the ability to invade the dentinal tubules and resist high ph levels. as a result, calcium hydroxide (ch) is not much effective on this bacterium. in theory, nanoparticle calcium hydroxide (nch) has smaller size and high surface area that enables it to penetrate into the deeper layers of dentin and be more effective on e. faecalis. this in...

Objective: Ceftiofur, a third-generation cephalosporin, is used as a usual antimicrobial drug in veterinary medicine. Positive efficiency of ceftiofur for treatment of retained fetal membrane (RFM) and acute puerperal metritis has been previously reported. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of ceftiofur hydrochloride (CH) in prevention of uterine postpart...
