To queer urban planning and municipal governance requires explicit civic engagement with sexual gender minority inclusions, representations needs in plans policies across departmental committee silos. This collection questions the hetero-cis-normative assumptions of examines integration LGBTQ+ issues at interface community activism, bureaucratic procedures, political intervention. The editorial...

Background: Cisplatin (CIS), an anticancer alkylating agent, induces DNA adducts and effectively cross links the DNA strands and so affects spermatozoa as a male reproductive tract toxicant. Materials and Methods: The present study investigated the cellular/biochemical mechanisms underlying possible protective effect of selenium nano-particles (Nano-Se) as an established strong antioxidant with...

The relationship between cell killing and the binding of the anticancer drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP) to DNA was studied in six mammalian cell lines. Two of the human cell lines (COV413B) were of the same origin, comprising one sensitive to cis-DDP and the other with induced resistance to the drug. The four other lines, two rodent (RIF-1, Chinese hamster ovary) and two human (...

Cultures of ruminal bacteria known to metabolize unsaturated fatty acids were grown in medium containing 50 microg ml(-1) of geometric and positional isomers of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) or 18 : 1 fatty acids and 37.4 % deuterium oxide to investigate the mechanisms responsible for fatty acid metabolism. Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens JW11 converted cis-9,trans-11-18 : 2 and trans-9,trans-11-18 ...

The weakly bound HOONO product of the OH+NO2+M reaction is studied using the vibrational predissociation that follows excitation of the first OH overtone (2nu1). We observe formation of both cis-cis and trans-perp conformers of HOONO. The trans-perp HOONO 2nu1 band is observed under thermal (223-238 K) conditions at 6971 cm(-1). We assign the previously published (warmer temperature) HOONO spec...

The composition of the essential oils of Teucrium chamaedrys L. belongs to the family Lamiaceae, It is growing wild in the margin of mountainous roads of arid and cold climate of north Iran. In this research, essential oils of T. chamaedrys, extracted and measured at the different location by different methods of distillationand then were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Investigation and comparison o...
