Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in the pathogenesis of cerebral ischemic injury. Here, we investigated effects aging on NO production during ischemia-reperfusion (IR). Male Wister rats (WRs) were assigned to 12-month-old (older; n = 5) and 3-month-old (younger; 7) groups. Similarly, male spontaneous hypertensive (SHRs) allocated 6) 8) After anesthesia, their was monitored using vivo microdialysis...

to inspect the effect of methyl salicylate (mesa) vapor on fruit shelf life quality in kiwifruit (actinidia chinensis cv. hayward) an experiment was carried out in citrus research institute, ramsar, iran in 2006-2007. the experiment was based on a completely random design of three replications. the treatments consisted of mesa at five rates (0, 8, 16, 24 and 32 µl/l) and storage time of five le...

New neuron production throughout adulthood in granule cell layer (GCL) of rat hippocampus is a well-known phenomenon. A role of new neurons in hippocampal learning has been proposed, but the question is still open. A reduction of neural precursor proliferation in GCL of 2-month-old rats to about 20%, induced by the cytostatic agent methylazoxymethanol, was found to cause impairment in trace con...

BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) and respiratory syncytial virus lower respiratory tract infection (RSV LRTI) are common diseases during early life. Impaired Th1-cell polarizing Toll-like receptor (TLR) responses play an important role in the pathogenesis of both diseases. Neonatal TLR-mediated production of Th1-type cytokines is decreased at birth, but rapidly increases during the first month...

to evaluate the vegetative and productive characteristics and forage utilization by livestock at different stages of bromus tomentellus boiss.phonology, this experiment was carried out during five years in kordan rangeland of alborz province rangelands. so starting the grazing season and livestock entering, any remaining amount of forage grazing was harvested until a month intervals, and utiliz...

The present study aims to investigate the relative effectiveness of different types of pragmatic instruction including two collaborative translation tasks and two structured input tasks with and without explicit pragmatic instruction on the production of apologetic utterances by low-intermediate EFL learners. One hundred and fifty university students in four experimental groups and one control ...

There is a recent interest in integrating the serviceand aspect-oriented software development paradigms. However, most of the approaches proposed thus far rely on a non-service based aspect model that severely restricts the language choices either for implementing the service-oriented applications, the aspects, or both. This paper presents a unified development model for serviceand aspect-orien...

Reflection on design processes performed by designers is called design reflection. In our view, this kind of reflection aims at answering essential questions like “Is my design answering the stakeholder concerns?”, “Am I solving the essential problems or am I wasting time on irrelevant aspects?”, “Does the result feel satisfactory or are further iterations necessary?”, “Does my design obey the ...
