multistage and semi-mechanized harvesting of rice in khouzestan province, iran, causes much loss. depending on available facilities and conditions, either spike-tooth or rasp-bar cylinders are employed with either direct or indirect combine harvesting methods. the present research studied the effect of these different harvesting methods on the amount of losses in two rice varieties in 2001-2002...

Recent research has shown that the color red influences psychological functioning. Red is hypothesized to be linked to aggression and danger in evolution, and these links are enhanced by culture-specific uses of red. Thus, color meanings are thought to be grounded in biologically based proclivities and learned associations. However, to date, there has been no direct evidence for the influence o...

Recently, several institutions have been developing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided radiotherapy treatment systems. In this study, we examine whether it is possible to perform radiation therapy planning (RTP) using a magnetic susceptibility map obtained using MRI. The head of a healthy volunteer was scanned using dual-energy computed tomography (CT) and MRI. A T2-star-weighted 3D gradie...

Erythrocytes are flexible cells specialized in the systemic transport of oxygen in vertebrates. This physiological function is connected to their outstanding ability to deform in passing through narrow capillaries. In recent years, there has been an influx of experimental evidence of enhanced cell-shape fluctuations related to metabolically driven activity of the erythroid membrane skeleton. Ho...

A new method to detect the identity of unexpected antibodies in the sera of prospective transfusion recipients is presented. The method is based on a macroscopic hemagglutination inhibition assay. In this assay, incubation of phenotypically defined test red blood cells with patient sera containing non-agglutinating antibodies to one or more specific antigen systems block monoclonal IgM inductio...

Loose nanofiltration (LNF) membranes can be used to treat textile wastewater if the meet stringent criteria on permeability, selectivity, and structural stability. In this work, a novel LNF membrane was developed by interfacial polymerization (IP) process between 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl) benzene (TAPB) trimesoyl chloride (TMC). The structure of TAPB, which is symmetric non-planar triamine mono...

The location this is Raya which consists two villages namely Village Satu Village, used primary data obtained direct observation interviews with respondents based on a...

This research describes photo degradation of direct red 81(5-solamin) in the presence of zinc oxide nano-sized catalyst supported on granule glass under UV light irradiation. The effects of some parameters such as various pH and different atmosphere on photo degradation efficiency were studied. After various experiments it was revealed that among various atmospheres, at neutural medium, oxygen ...

PURPOSE To examine the influence of α-particle radiation exposure from internally deposited plutonium on chromosome aberration frequencies in peripheral blood lymphocytes of workers from the Sellafield nuclear facility, UK. MATERIALS AND METHODS Chromosome aberration data from historical single colour fluorescence in situ hybridization (sFISH) and Giemsa banding (G-banding) analyses, together...
