The authors prepared obstructive jaundice models by cannulation into the common bile duct, using Wistar-strain rats, and examined active amines in the gastric wall and the incidence of AGML before and after biliary drainage. 1) The incidence of AGML was comparatively high in the group of 1-3 weeks' obstruction, while the incidence was greatly reduced after biliary drainage in the groups of 1-2 ...

We numerically study the dynamics of a passive fluid droplet confined within microchannel whose walls are covered with thin layer active gel. The latter represents fluid...

Bipolaris oryzae causes rice brown spot disease which reduces rice yield with substantial global impact. Streptomycetes isolated from rice fields of Guilan Province, Iran, showed antifungal activity against the tested pathogen. From five active Streptomyces spp. isolates, isolate G showed high antagonistic activity. To determine its taxonomical identity, its colonies character...

Energy geostructures (EGs) represent an innovative technology in the sustainable energy agenda and are useful for satisfying needs of built environment. They usually involving such as piles, walls, tunnels, shafts, sewers. The application to infrastructure projects may have considerable thermal potential because large surfaces that can be thermally activated. This study focuses on thermo-active...

Emulsified cell walls of Mycobacterium bovis (BCG) were immunotherapeutically at least as active as living BCG in prolonging survival of guinea pigs with established dermal tumors and microscopic lymph node and visceral metastases.

Natural convection in a box is driven by the thermal boundary conditions at the active walls and is profoundly affected by the thermal conditions at the passive walls. The effects of these conditions were studied numerically and compared with experiments for natural convection in two cavities. The results indicate the importance of these conditions for proper modelling of three-dimensional flow...
