Scatophagus argus argus (Green Scat) is a pretty aquarium fish. Its hard spines are venomous and can cause painful injury. In this study 60 specimens of Green Scat were collected periodically from coastal waters of Boushehr (south of Iran) from May 2011 to April 2012. Anatomical features of venomous spines were investigated. Scat venom was extracted from the spines in a new manner for keeping t...

Objective(s): Potentially preventable death from uncontrolled hemorrhage clearly indicates the importance of simple, fast and efficient ways to achieving hemostasis. The aim of this study was to develop a topical formulation of green tea extract for reducing bleeding that can be helpful in hemorrhage control.Materials and Methods: Hydroa...

Silver nanostructures as an effective antibacterial materials were synthesized via three various hydrothermal, sono-chemical and microwave methods using water as a green solvent. Then Chitosan-Ag polymer based nanocomposites were made by a fast chemical procedure. The influence of power, temperature and time on the morphology and particle size of the products was investigated. Scanning electron...

Collagen detection in histological sections and its quantitative estimation by computer-aided image analysis represent important procedures to assess tissue localization and distribution of connective fibers. Different histochemical approaches have been proposed to detect and quantify collagen deposition in paraffin slices with different degrees of satisfaction. The present study was performed ...

   In the present work, a fast, green and simple synthesis method for the production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is introduced. Silver nanoparticles are currently among the most widely used man-made nano materials, present in a wide range of consumer products. Green chemistry is characterized by careful planning of chemical synthesis of silver nanoparticles to reduce adverse outcomes. S...

This article examines the ways in which sustainability discourses intersect with carceral policies. Building new prisons to ‘green’ industry standards; making existing prison buildings less environmentally harmful; incorporating processes such as renewable energy initiatives; offering ‘green-collar’ work and training to prisoners; and providing ‘green care’ in an effort to reduce recidivism are...

OBJECTIVES This study investigated the distribution density of fast food outlets around schools, and the relationship between dietary health of children and adolescents and the density of fast food outlets in Korea. METHODS A distribution map of fast food outlets was drawn by collecting information on 401 locations of 16 brands within a 15-minute walk (800 meter) of 342 elementary and seconda...

Let $S$ be a standard graded polynomial ring over field, and $I$ homogeneous ideal that contains regular sequence of degrees $d_1,\ldots,d_n$. We prove the Eisenbud-Green-Harris conjecture when forms satisfy $d_i \geqslant \sum_{j=1}^{i-1}(d_j-1)$, improving result obtained in 2008 by first author Maclagan. Except for sporadic case five quadrics, recently proved Gunturkun Hochster, results this...
