Response of tea plants to B deficiency was studied in hydroponic medium under environmentally controlled conditions. Plants height, number of leaves and dry matter production of shoot and root were significantly decreased by B deficiency. Concentration of chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanins and flavonoids was not affected by B deficiency in the young leaf, while a significant reduction of Ch...

In order to study the effects of humic acid foliar spraying on morphological traits, photosynthetic pigmentation, and essential oil content of Dracocephalum moldavica, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in Saveh. The investigated factors included the use of humic acid at four levels 0 (control), 200, 400, and 800 mg/L and eth...

Transcription factors bind specifically to their target elements in the genome, eliciting specific gene expression programs. The nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) system is a family of proteins comprising inducible transcription activators, which play critical role inflammation and cancer. NF-?B members function as dimers with each monomeric unit binding ?B-DNA. Despite available structures various com...

melamine trisulfonic acid (mtsa) as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst has been used for the one-pot preparation of triazolo[1,2-a]indazole-1,3,8-trione and 2h-indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-1,6,11-trione derivatives by the three-component condensation reaction of urazoles or phthalhydrazide, dimedone or 1,3-cyclohexanedione, and aldehydes under solvent-free conditions in good to excellent yields ...

Let k and b be integers with k > 1. A set A of integers is called (k, b)linear-free if x E A implies kx + b ¢ A. Such a set A is maximal in [I,n] = {1,2, ... ,n} if AU{t} is not (k,b)-linear-free for any t in [1,nJ\A. Let M = M(n, k, b) be the set of all maximal (k, b)-linear-free subsets of [1, n] and define f(n, k, b) = max{IAI : A E M} and g(n, k, b) = min{IAI : A EM}. In this paper a new me...

Traditionally, syntactic parsing is done using probabilistic context-free grammars (PCFGs) or variants thereof, as there are standard efficient methods for parsing with PCFGs and for extracting them from a corpus. However, PCFGs do not accurately represent many dependencies in natural language. For example, many determiners can only occur with certain types of nouns. Determiners like a and anot...

introduction: recently depleted uranium is being widely used as anti-armour ammunition and at very high temperature, results in information of an aerosol of very small uranium oxide particles, which may be inhaled. it is alleged that these particles represent a new battlefield hazard because of the chemical toxicology and/or radioactivity. method & materials: male wistar strain albino rats were...

the methanol extracts of leaves of bauhinia acuminata (mesf) and their different fractions obtained from modified kupchan partitioning method i.e. methanol, pet ether, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and aqueous soluble fractions were subjected to biological screening such as total phenolic content and antioxidant activity screening.the amount of total phenolic content differed in different e...

We construct a non-free but א1-separable, torsion-free abelian group G with a pure free subgroup B such that all subgroups of G disjoint from B are free and such that G/B is divisible. This answers a question of Irwin and shows that a theorem of Blass and Irwin cannot be strengthened so as to give an exact analog for torsion-free groups of a result proved for p-groups by Benabdallah and Irwin.
