objective(s):marine organisms are known as a potential source of natural products, which contain bioactive substances with therapeutic properties. sea cucumbers are prominent among marine organisms because of their dietary and therapeutic applications. in addition, they have capacity of synthesizing saponins molecules and other metabolites with therapeutic properties such as antitumor, antimicr...

ct.scan examinations cause high patient absorbed dose from x-ray ionizing radiation. therefore it is necessary to obtain superficial dose profile in z-line. in this research 11 thermoluminecent dosimeter (tld), after calibration were located on z line perpendicular to slice thickness. ct.scan machines did x-ray exposures. the resultant dose profiles showed gussian shape apperience, which has se...

constructing phase diagram and its subsequent quality lines for lean gas condensate reservoirs is always crucial and challenging topic in reservoir fluid studies. due to small amounts of liquid drop-outs in lean gas condensates at reservoir conditions, full experimental tracking of phase diagram and its relevant quality lines is almost impossible for lean gas condensates.on the other hand, eos ...

background and objectives: electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields can act as stress factors with different effects on biological systems. due to the nutritional and medicinal values, and the increasing electromagnetic radiations, the present study was performed to investigate the effects of the electromagnetic field on the developmental stages and cytotoxic properties of okra. methods: b...

background glioblastoma is a type of brain tumor with poor response to available therapies, and shows high rate of mortality. despite remarkable advancements in our knowledge about cytogenetic and pathophysiologic features of glioblastoma, current treatment strategies are mainly based on cytotoxic drugs; however, these therapeutic approaches are facing progressive failure because of the resista...

let $r$ be a commutative ring with identity. let $g(r)$ denote the maximal graph associated to $r$, i.e., $g(r)$ is a graph with vertices as the elements of $r$, where two distinct vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if and only if there is a maximal ideal of $r$ containing both. let $gamma(r)$ denote the restriction of $g(r)$ to non-unit elements of $r$. in this paper we study the various graphi...

introduction: electroporation is a practical technique used to transport the molecules across the cell membrane. the utilization of fluorescent molecules is the method widely used to evaluate the electropermeability of cell membrane as a result of pulse application. it is also possible to use mathematical methods to predict the changes caused in cell electropermeability as a result of the chang...

ovarian cancer is one of the major causes of death in women. parabens are a class of chemicals widely used as preservatives in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products, they mimic estrogens, which are known to play a role in the development of different cancers in women. the aim of this study was to investigate the proliferative effects of methyl paraben (mp) and propyl paraben (pp) on human ovaria...
