background: this study was undertaken to evaluate the viability, infectivity and immunity of toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites exposed to 2-(naphthalene-2-ylthio)-1h-indole.   methods : tachyzoites of rh strain were incubated in various concentrations of 2- (naphthalene-2-ylthio)-1h-indole (25-800μm) for 1.5 hours. then, they were stained by pi and analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (f...

this paper describes a methodology for the integration of well logs and a series of grid-based attributes extracted from interpreted seismic data for prediction of porosity distributions. the studied area is located in the southwest iran. before finding a relationship between the target logs and predicted logs from 3d seismic data, we have interpreted the 3d seismic data in the studied area. al...

the adsorption of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (2-mbi) on au(111) has been studied withcyclic voltammetry (cv), in-situ subtractively normalised interfacial ft-ir spectroscopy (sniftirs)and scanning tunnelling microscopy (stm). although adsorbed 2-mbi reduces the interfacial capacityand quenches the characteristic features of the cyclic voltammogram for sulfate adsorption,heterogeneous electron tran...

introduction earth has ever been exposed to environmental hazards. the hazards are continually occurring in the world in the recent years. among them, atmospheric elements have created many human and financial losses in different regions. one of the hazards is dust events and in its severe case is dust storm. it happens more frequently in arid and semiarid regions in deserts and their surroundi...

background: the association between lipid peroxidation biomarkers and adipocytokines is hypothesized in preeclampsia but little is known about it. objective: the present study was undertaken to determine the association of lipid peroxidation biomarkers measured by the levels of 8-isoprostane and malondialdehyde with adipocytokines leptin and adiponectin in maternal serum of preeclamptic women. ...

introduction: bone pain palliation therapy is a mandate in handling end-stage cancer patients. the development of new ligands with higher stability, better pharmacokinetics and lower unwanted tissue uptakes (liver and gi) is still ongoing. methods: in this work lu-177 labeled (3-amino-1-hydroxypropane-1,1-di-yl)-bis-(phosphonate) (177lu-pamidronate; 177lu-pam ), and (3-amino-1-hydroxybutane-1,1...

in this report, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via coprecipitation of fe2+ and fe3+ with ammonium hydroxide, and the surface of synthesized nanoparticles was organically functionalized by commercially available amine coupling agent namely, 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (apts) by using well-known sol–gel method. further reaction of the synthesized fe3o4@apts core-shell magne...

improving the processing and the recycled paper properties is one of permanent concern of papermaking. in this research, the effect of nanochitosan addition on the process and product quality made of writing and printing recycled fiber was investigated. being nano size and so its capability in access to the space between pulp suspension components and also its probable ability to make electrost...
