A new in vivo method was used to determine an average volumetric elastic modulus ([epsilon]ave) for nongrowing cells in plant tissue. This method requires that both the relative transpiration rate, T, of the tissue and the average turgor pressure decay rate, (dP/dt)ave, of the cells are measured after the water source is removed from the plant tissue. Then [epsilon]ave is calculated from the eq...

It has been described recently that the nonpeptide AVE 0991 (AVE) mimics the effects of angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] in bovine endothelial cells. In this study, we tested the possibility that AVE is an agonist of the Ang-(1-7) receptor Mas, in vitro and in vivo. In water-loaded C57BL/6 mice, AVE (0.58 nmol/g body weight) produced a significant reduction in urinary volume (0.06+/-0.03 mL/60 min...

during 1387-86, total number of 120 blood samples gathered from sheep with bluetongue-like clinical sign. the samples collected from seropositive regions .after separating serum, they were evaluated by competitive elisa for detecting ab against vp7 antigen. the full length of s7 gene (1156 bp) amplified by one step rt-pcr .in this method two sets specific primers, targeting 3? and 5?ends of s7 ...

Aim: The objective of this study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence and S7 gene characterization of bluetongue virus (BTV) of sheep in the West of Iran, during 2007-2008. Materials and Methods: A total 372 sheep blood samples were collected from known seropositive regions in the West of Iran. Anti-BTV antibodies were detected in the serum samples by group specific, C-ELISA. Extractio...

INTRODUCTION Hormone receptor (HR)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is usually treated with hormone therapy. In postmenopausal females, aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are usually used as first-line therapy, and fulvestrant is used subsequently. The optimal treatment beyond fulvestrant has not been established. We experienced two cases in which high-dose toremifene (hdTOR) was effective after...

We show that in a finite semimodular lattice, the ordering of joinirreducible congruences is done in a special type of sublattice, we call a tight S7.

S7-1200 with Tia Portal technology has become a Standard function of distributed controlsystems. Self-Tuning methods belong to Programmable Controllers (PLC) techniques. PLCtechniques contain software packages for advanced control based on mathematical methods. S7-1200 tools are designed to increase the Process Capacity, yield, and quality of products. Most ofthe present time digital industry r...
