Background and Purpose: Hyphal wall protein 1 (HWP1) is an important adhesin which usually is expressed on the germ tube and hyphal surface produced by different Candida species. The hyphal wall protein-coding gene (HWP1) was evaluated as a novel identification and phylogenetic marker in Candida tropicalis, C. orthopsilosis, C. parapsilosis and C. glabrata. Materials and Methods: Initially, fo...

background & aim: salvia macrosiphon is one of the important species of salvia which belongs to the lamiaceae family. all 58 iranian species of salvia grow in different ecological places. the aim of this research is the investigation of morphological and anatomical characteristics of s.  macrosiphon. experimental: the above–mentioned species were collected from zavarijan and dodangeh regio...

The formation and configuration of sulfate species on Ag/Al2O3 were studied by means of in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The comparison between theoretical and experimental vibration spectra enable us to draw the following conclusions: Bidentate sulfate species rather than tridentate sulfate species ar...

Abstract:  The surface morphology of resting eggs of Anostracan species from East Azerbaijan Province of Iran and that of Artemia urmiana was compared using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Anostracan fauna of East Azerbaijan temporary pools were determined as follows: Chirocephalus skorikowi (Chirocephalidae), Branchinecta orientalis (Branchinectidae), Streptocephalus torvicornis (St...

 The scanning electron microscope was used to investigate the ultrastructures of the egg membrane surface (unfertilized egg) of an endemic cyprinid fish, Cyprinion tenuiradius Heckel, 1849. The eggs of this species were almost circular in shape, had a smooth surface and one type II micropyle consisting of the flat pit and a long canal in the animal polar region. The micropyle region w...

Urban forestry is an important green infrastructure strategy because healthy trees can intercept rainfall, reducing stormwater runoff and pollutant loading. Surface saturation storage capacity, defined as the thin film of water that must wet tree surfaces before flow begins, is the most important variable influencing rainfall interception processes. Surface storage capacity is known to vary wid...

The metabolic-level boundaries (MLB) hypothesis and the cell metabolism (CM) hypothesis have been proposed to explain the body mass scaling of metabolic rate. The MLB hypothesis focuses mainly on the influence of the metabolic level on the relative importance of volume and surface area constraints. The CM hypothesis focuses on the variation of cell size as the body grows. The surface area to vo...

The establishment of the subgingival microbiota is dependent on successive colonization of the implant surface by bacterial species. Different implant surface topographies could influence the bacterial adsorption and therefore jeopardize the implant survival. This study evaluated the biofilm formation capacity of five oral streptococci species on two titanium surface topographies. In vitro biof...
