The present study introduces the heterogeneous quasi-continuous spiking cortical model (HQC-SCM) method as a novel approach for neutron and gamma-ray pulse shape discrimination. utilizes specific neural responses to extract features in falling edge delayed fluorescence parts of radiation signals. In addition, investigates contributions HQC-SCM’s parameters its discrimination performance, leadin...

For ex vitro propagation, seeds of P.pubescens were treated with different concentrations of gibberellic acid (GA3) and germination of seeds was tested both in plastic pots as well as by direct sowing in the nursery beds. Maximum seed germination was achieved when treated with 200 mgL(-1) (w/v) GA3. For in vitro propagation, an exposure of nodal explants from in vitro raised seedlings to 0.2 mg...

The function of monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL), a key actor in the hydrolytic deactivation of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol (2AG), is tightly controlled by the cell's redox state: oxidative signals such as hydrogen peroxide suppress MGL activity in a reversible manner through sulfenylation of the peroxidatic cysteines, C201 and C208. Here, using as a starting point the crystal s...

background & aim: lemon verbena (lippia citriodora h.b.k.) is a richly scented herb and has a long history as a sacred and medicinal plant. select an appropriate medium in tissue culture is a necessity for success experimental: to evaluate the effect of 10 medium of previous researches for lippia micropropagation (1- ms medium supplemented with bap (3 mgl-1) + iba (0.1 mgl-1) + activated ch...

Fever is a common response to inflammation and infection. The mechanism involves prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-EP3 receptor signaling in the hypothalamus, which raises the set point of hypothalamic thermostat for body temperature, but the lipid metabolic pathway for pyretic PGE2 production remains unknown. To reveal the molecular basis of fever initiation, we examined lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induce...

Pyridine, a suspected genotoxic and formaldehyde, a potent carcinogen, are present in several industrial wastewater including commercial solvent, resin and pesticide manufacturing industries. The extent of pyridine and formaldehyde toxicity in aquatic organisms is unknown. Therefore, in present study the toxicity of pyridine and formaldehyde were investigated in artificial aquatic ecosystem (mi...

In vitro clonal multiplication of apple rootstock MM 111 using axillary buds and shoot apices were carried out. Vegetative axillary buds of the size of 0.2-2.0 cm and shoot apices measuring 4 mm in length were initiated to shoot proliferation on MS medium supplemented with BA (0.5 - 1.0 mgl(-1)), GA3(0.5 mgl(-1)), with or without IBA(0.05 - 0.1 mgl(-1)). Small size explants showed less phenol e...
