this study evaluates the effectiveness of adsorption process by granular activated carbon (gac) compared with a novel formulation of coagulation - flocculation process for dye removal from textile wastewater. in this regard, acidic, reactive, disperse and direct red dye are used to prepare the synthetic dye. dominant wave length for each dye is determined by spectrophotometeric method. using ga...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to analyze the incidence of colorectal cancer in 15 European countries in recent decades and the relationship between the incidence found and changes in dietary habits. METHODS Pearson's or Spearman's correlation coefficients were calculated by comparing incidence rates obtained from the International Agency for Research on Cancer for 1971-2002 with data on per capi...

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a common pathological basis for the development of various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, however, currently, no effective treatment against AS has been established. It has previously been suggested that intravascular cytochrome P450 (CYP) oxidase is involved in the pathogenesis of AS. The present study investigated the role of cytochrome P450, family 2, su...

Ethanol-induced fat accumulation, the earliest and most common response of the liver to ethanol exposure, may be involved in the pathogenesis of liver diseases. Isoliquiritigenin (ISL), an important constituent of Glycyrrhizae Radix, is a chalcone derivative that exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and phytoestrogenic activities. However, the effect of ISL treatment on lipid accumulation i...

random early detection (red) is one of the most commonly used active queue management (aqm) algorithms that is recommended by ietf for deployment in the network. although red provides low average queuing delay and high throughput at the same time, but effectiveness of red is highly sensitive to the red parameters setting. as network condition varies largely, setting red's parameters with fixed ...

the relationship between altitude, slope and tree age with the red heartwood of beech (fagusorientalis lipsky) were investigated. transect sampling method was used to collect the data. theresults showed that in the 476 sampled trees, 132 trees were suffering the phenomenon of red heartswith deferent shape and size. the results indicate that the tree with red heartwoods in shafa-roudforest area,...

Background: In humans, CYP3A drug-metabolizing enzyme subfamily is the most important. Numerous pathophysiological factors, such as diabetes and obesity, were shown to affect CYP3A activity. Often considered a precursor state for type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome exerts a modulating role on CYP3A, in our hypothesis. Objective: To evaluate the effect of metabolic syndrome on CYP3A drug-metabo...
