Head motions during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) impair fMRI data quality and introduce systematic artifacts that can affect interpretation of fMRI results. Electroencephalography (EEG) recordings performed simultaneously with fMRI provide high-temporal-resolution information about ongoing brain activity as well as head movements. Recently, an EEG-assisted retrospective motion c...

Carum carvi (CC) is a grassy plant which is believed to have several therapeutic effects, including anti-asthmatic properties. We have therefore studied the bronchodilatory and anticholinergic effects of this plant. The bronchodilatory effects of the aqueous extract (AE), macerated extract (ME), essential oil (EO), and 4µM theophylline (T) in comparison with saline (S) were examined by the...

In this work, the backward Bayesian multiple linear regression (BBMLR) as a new approach is presented to predict the adsorption efficiency (AE) of Cd(II) ions by ostrich bone char (OBC) in the fixed bed adsorption with four operational variables consisting of pH (2-9), inlet Cd(II) concentration (Co= 25-100 mg/L), bed depth (h= 3-9 cm) and feed flow rate (Q= 0.5-30 mL/min). The performance of t...

background: aedes aegypti mosquito is responsible for transmitting human diseases like dengue and chikungunya. personal or space protection with insect repellents is a practical approach to reducing human mosquito contact, thereby minimizing disease transmission. essential oils are natural volatile substances from plants used as protective measure against blood-sucking mosquitoes. methods: twen...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of concepsis (a chlorhexidine gluconate based cavity disinfectant) application on composite restorations micro leakage, using two adhesive systems: excite and adhese. materials and methods: in this interventional experimental study, class v cavities were prepared on buccal surfaces of seventy-two extracted bovine incisors. the specimen...
