chrysanthemum cut flower is not sensitive to ethylene and its vase life depends on vascular blockage. in order to evaluating of effect of antibiotics and essential oils on the vase life and quality characteristics of chrysanthemum cut flower an experiment carried out based on a rcd with 10 treatments: artemisia at 3 levels (10, 30 and 50 %), amoxicillin at 3 levels (100, 200 and 300 mg l-1), ri...

a 57-year-old male with history of prostatectomy, cyctectomy, cecal urinary diversion for invasive prostate cancer and with a recent rise in psa level, was referred for bone scintigraphy to rule out osseous metastatic disease. an interesting finding was abnormal tracer accumulation throughout the large bowel, which was proved to be due to urinary diversion.

objective(s): considering the fact that the standardized uptake value (suv) of a normal lung tissue is expressed as x±sd, x+3×sd could be considered as the threshold value to outline the internal tumor volume (itv) of a lung neoplasm. methods: three hollow models were filled with 55.0 kbq/ml fluorine18- fluorodeoxyglucose (18f-fdg) to represent tumors. the models were fixed to a barrel filled w...

the nafion 117 membrane was doped with sio2 particles by sol-gel reaction. the reaction conditions to minimize leaching were investigated by using full factorial design of experiment. the results from the full factorial analysis indicated that the lowest amount of leaching takes place at 60oc without addition of acid and swelling of membranes prior to the reaction. the membranes, prepared at op...

abstract lowland rice (oryza sativa l.) in south asia is under stress, as nitrogen removals by crops are higher than their replenishment through fertilizers. limited information is available on optimizing nitrogen dose in lowland rice to turn out higher yield. the present investigation aimed to optimize nitrogen fertilization and it’s response to the growth and yield of lowland rice. we evaluat...

We measured serum thyroxine (free and total), triiodothyronine (free and total), thyroxine-binding globulin, and triiodothyronine uptake by talc in 97 normal men and 50 pregnant women. Mean serum thyroxine and triiodothyronine concentrations were higher in the pregnant subjects (104 vs. 78 mug/liter and 1.69 vs. 1.30 mug/liter) because of a higher mean thyroxine-binding globulin concentration (...

background: as we all know, sperm has the capacity to take up foreign dna, therefore, sperm mediated gen transfer can be an inexpensive and simple method in animal transgenesis in various species. however, there is not sufficient evidence of dna uptake by ovine spermatozoa. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to examine the uptake of human lysozyme gene contained plasmid (pegfp-ire...

plane and mulberry trees play a crucial role in purifying the polluted air in tehran as a majorcity. in this research, 13 main districts of tehran city were chosen as study area. 20 completely healthy planeand mulberry species were selected in similar ecological conditions and age range. the uptake of cd and pbwas determined using spectrophotometry, whereas the chlorophyll content was measured ...

due to the limited availability of phosphorus in soil especially calcareous soils, it is important to investigate strategies to increase ability of phosphorus uptake by plant. evaluating the effect of zeolite (clinoptilolite), irrigation levels and preferential flows, simultaneously and independently, on increasing phosphorus uptake by corn was objective of this study. potted study was done in ...
