Rehydration of Tortula ruralis in 2,4-dinitrophenol inhibits protein synthesis, polysome formation, and ATP production. Polysomes are conserved intact and are active in vitro in hydrated Tortula placed in this chemical, although in vivo protein synthesis is inhibited. Hydrated moss placed under nitrogen in the dark shows a reduced capacity for ATP and protein synthesis, but polysomes are conser...

in this work, we report synthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles at room temperature using microemulsion template phase consisting of cyclohexane, water, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide ctab as cationic surfactant and butanol as a cosurfactant. silica surface modification of the as prepared nanoparticles was performed by adding tetraethoxysilane teos to alkaline medium. the struct...

if you are planning on fasting and have diabetes, it is important to speak to your diabetes healthcare team as early as possible before ramadan. for some people with diabetes, fasting can be dangerous or can cause problems to your health. your diabetes team will be able to advise you on whether it is safe for you to fast. if you are able to fast, they will advise you on how to keep good diabete...

This paper presents a simple texture synthesis method that is fast, efficient, and optimized. Given an input texture, the algorithm will synthesize a texture image of specified size by matching output image pixel neighborhoods with input pixel neighborhoods. The pixel-neighborhood matching will be aided by the use of a TreeStructured Vector Quantization (TSVQ) method which will allow the algori...

For the first time, monoclinic crystalline HfO 2 is achieved by scalable and low-cost photochemical synthesis. This approach valid for creation of large area -based scintillating composites fast timing applications.

An ultrafast synthesis method is presented for hexanethiolate-coated gold nanoclusters (d < 2 nm, <250 atoms per nanocluster), which takes only 2 min and can be easily reproduced. With two immiscible solvents, gold nanoclusters are separated from the reaction byproducts fast and easily without any need for post-synthesis cleaning.

nano-sized batio3 powders with particular nb concentrations were prepared by rotary- hydrothermal (rh) method. hydrothermal method was used at 180 °c for 5 hours with new ti pressure and the teflon vessel was rotated at a speed of 160 rpm during the hydrothermal reaction. new hydrothermal method was used instead of previous solid state reaction for the system batio3±nb2o3 in high temperature to...

fast enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (fast-elisa) was compared with the standard elisa for the diagnosis of human hydatidosis. seventy serum samples including 30 from hydatidosis patients (surgically confirmed), healthy control individuals not infected with any parasitic diseases (n=/20) and from others with different parasitic infections including, toxocariosis (n=5), fasciolosis (n=5), tric...
