line to/cal/3/7c//bb/cno/5/cal//cno/sn64/4/cno//bad/dar/3/kl/6/sabalan was received from icarda under international winter wheat improvement in 1999-2000 cropping season. based on its favorable agronomic characteristics, it was selected for further evaluations in advanced and elite yield trials in main research stations of dryland agricultural research institute (dari) and on farm yield trials ...

objective: a number of studies have demonstrated the potential antitumor effects of saffron and its constituents on different malignant cells in vitro. it has been reported that a novel glycoconjugate isolated from corms and callus of saffron possesses cytotoxic activity against different tumor cellswith nitric oxide (no) production. these data suggest that the cytotoxic effect of saffron extra...

background: erythropoietin (epo) is a glycoprotein hormone function to regulate the production of red blood cells. deficiency of epo is known to cause anemia in chronically infected renal patients and they require regular blood transfusion. availability of recombinant epo has eliminated the need for blood transfusion and now it is extensively used for the treatment of anemia. glycosylation of e...

most of the contour detection methods suffers from some drawbacks such as noise, occlusion of objects, shifting, scaling and rotation of objects in image which they suppress the recognition accuracy. to solve the problem, this paper utilizes zernike moment (zm) and pseudo zernike moment (pzm) to extract object contour features in all situations such as rotation, scaling and shifting of object i...

the anti-cancer activity of metal ions in the lanthanide group is being considered recently. it has been reported that cerium salts might stimulate the metabolism and therefore, produce anti-cancer effects. however, little is known about the effects of protein-cerium complex in controlling cancer cell growth. the aim of the present study was to elucidate the possible pathways for the cytotoxic ...
