Background: Aberrant salience in schizophrenia is mainly attributed to excessive dopaminergic reward processing in the ventral striatum (Kapur 2003). In addition, a recent study investigating early sensory processing indicated that increased gamma power evoked by physically-salient stimuli is associated with positive trait schizotypy (Kornmayer et al. 2015). Accordingly, the present study was i...

parsley has a very high nutritional value, containing a, b and c vitamins and mineral nutrients. in order to investigation of the effect of different nitrogen sources on parsley an experiment conducted in a factorial combination of three nitrogen forms (calcium nitrate, ammonium sulphate and urea) and four nitrogen levels (0, 100, 125, 150 kg ha-1) by using a factorial experiment based on rando...

Background: The sources of radioactivity in the environment have natural, terrestrial and extraterrestrial, and anthropogenic origins. Plants may get radioactive nuclides in two ways: (i) by the deposition of radioactive fallout, (ii) by absorption from the soil. Materials and Methods: The Concentrations of the natural radionuclides (226Ra, 228Ra, 40K) and the artificial radionuclide (...

Outbreaks of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections associated with lettuce and other leaf crops have occurred with increasing frequency in recent years. Contaminated manure and polluted irrigation water are probable vehicles for the pathogen in many outbreaks. In this study, the occurrence and persistence of E. coli O157:H7 in soil fertilized with contaminated poultry or bovine ...

This study aimed to investigate the in vitro bioaccessibility of vitamin C from various fruits and vegetables. Vitamin 14 8 vegetables was examined under simulated gastrointestinal digestion method. values were analyzed by reverse-phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. The initial amounts ranged between 1.9 (yellow apple) 61.8 mg/100 g (strawberry) 3.8 (curly lettuce) 326.9 (purple cabba...
