Truncus arteriosus communis is an uncommon congenital cardiovascular malformation characterized by a single arterial trunk that arises from the base of the heart and gives rise to the coronary, pulmonary and systemic arteries.

On administration of 2.5 g almond seed and its proportionate fractions, viz. 1.22 g defatted seed and 1.28 g oil to three groups of albino rabbits, they showed a definite hypoglycemic action during a two months study. The active factor seems to be a non oil fraction which is only partly soluble in ethyl ether.

A mixture of L-(U-14C) amino acids was added to cultures of 11 strains of rumen anaerobic fungi belonging to Neocallimastix frontalis, Neocallimastix joyonii, Sphaeromonas communis and Piromonas communis. Fungi were grown in a complex medium with glucose for 4 days. The radioactivity was found in cellular protein (27.7-65.3% of the total radioactivity recovered), lactate (16.9-41.8%), volatile ...

The Sepharose CL-6B column was prepared to separate ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA) from the crude extract of castor beans due to the gel carrier contains a large amount of β-galactoside bond. RCA were immobilized on activated Sepharose 4B to make an immobilized RCA column, which was used to capture the proteins in rabbit plasma by affinity chromatography. Results showed that two polypeptides...

Landsat ETM+ data from the National Park of Khabr in Kerman province, dating May 2000, were analyzed to investigate the possibility of forest type mapping in arid and semi-arid regions.Quality evaluation of the image showed any radiometric distortion. Orthorectification was implemented to reduce relief displacement. The RMS error obtained was less than half a pixel. The ground truth map allocat...
