Nanotechnology has become an important and interesting field of physics, chemistry, biology engineering in recent years. The rapidly growing nanotechnology today is nanoparticles. characteristic nanoparticles that the particle size very small range (1-100 nm). Silver have been synthesized using saga leaf extract (Abrus pecatorius L.) as a reducing agent. formation silver was carried out by addi...

BACKGROUND Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) is a DNA sequencing-based method for large-scale gene expression profiling that provides an alternative to microarray analysis. Most analyses of SAGE data aimed at identifying co-expressed genes have been accomplished using various versions of clustering approaches that often result in a number of false positives. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here we...

OBJECTIVE This randomised, double-blind, parallel group phase II/III study with adaptive two-stage design and interim analysis compared the efficacy and tolerability of spray (containing a Salvia officinalis fluid extract) against placebo in the treatment of patients with acute viral pharyngitis. - STUDY PARTICIPANTS in two study parts, a total of 286 patients with subjective and objective ev...

Greater sage-grouse Centrocercus urophasianus (Bonaparte) currently occupy approximately half of their historical distribution across western North America. Sage-grouse are a candidate for endangered species listing due to habitat and population fragmentation coupled with inadequate regulation to control development in critical areas. Conservation planning would benefit from accurate maps delin...

Enterocin (Ent) 4231, produced by non-rabbit origin strain Enterococcus faecium CCM 4231 was used in combination with sage plant extract in rabbits with the aim to check their antimicrobial activity against microbiota, their effect on immunological, biochemical blood parameters, values of volatile fatty acids in caecum, Eimeria sp. oocysts occurrence and selected parameters of rabbits meat. The...

The time series of differences in coincident measurements of ozone by Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) and by Solar Backscattered Ultraviolet (SBUV), SBUV/2, Umkehr and Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) are analyzed, and the slopes in the differences are calculated. SAGE ozone measurements are also compared against those by HALOE. The purpose of these comparisons is to look for statis...

A 42-d trial was conducted to study the influence of 2 plant extracts on performance, digestibility, and digestive organ weights in broilers. The feeding program consisted of a starter diet until 21 d and a finisher diet until 42 d. There were 4 treatment groups: control; 10 ppm avilamycin (AB); 200 ppm essential oil extract (EOE) from oregano, cinnamon, and pepper; and 5,000 ppm Labiatae extra...

GENETICS, SOCIAL SCIENCES Retraction for ‘‘PKNOX2 gene is significantly associated with substance dependence in European-origin women,’’ by Xiang Chen, Kelly Cho, Burton H. Singer, and Heping Zhang, which published online August 31, 2009, in Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (10.1073/pnas.0908521106). The authors wish to retract this paper because its publication violates the Gene Environment Association ...

To comprehensively identify transcription start sites and the frequencies of individual mRNAs in human cell libraries, a method of 5' end Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) was developed recently, which makes it possible to collect a large amount of start site information, and subsequently, we have established a related database server called 5'SAGE. This database displays the observed f...

This study investigated the functionality of the Self-Administered Gerocognitive Examination (SAGE) for cognitive screening in community settings and examined its characteristics as a cognitive screening assessment tool. From 45 community events, 1,047 individuals over age 50 were screened with SAGE. Cognitive impairment was identified in 28%. Principal-component and correlation analysis indica...
