background and purpose: the 2-chlorophenol (2-cp) and 4-chlorophenol (4-cp) are phenolic compounds which may have adverse effects on human and environment. therefore, removing these compounds from water and wastewater is necessary. this study aims to analyze 2-cp and 4-cp removal by using azolla filiculoides biomass. materials & methods: azolla biomass was sun dried, crushed and sieved to parti...

the one-pot, multi-component synthesis of 4,4′-(arylmethylene)bis(1h-pyrazol-5-ols) by tandem knoevenagel-michael reaction of phenylhydrazine, ethyl acetoacetate and aldehydes in the presence of silica-bonded n-propylpiperazine sulfamic acid (sbppsa) as a recyclable solid acid catalyst was reported. sbppsa showed much the same efficiency when used in consecutive reaction runs.

purpose: to compare the success rate of adjunctive 5-fluorouracil (5-fu) and low molecular weight heparin (lmwh), and daunomycin in combination with triamcinolone during vitrectomy in eyes with retinal detachment (rd) and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (pvr). methods: in this prospective randomized clinical trial, 69 eyes from 69 patients with rd and pvr (grade b or c) randomized to 3 groups. ...

newcastle disease is one of the most important causes of economic losses in the poultry production and can be resulted in high mortality. antibody detection is also an important tool for assessment of the immunity against the disease. in the present study a trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of an immune stimulator (echinacea purpurea) on antibody production against newcastle disease va...

background and purpose     methods:     results:     conclusion:

nitrogen forms exert significant effects on physiological and morphological characteristics of plant. in this study, the effects of ammonium, nitrate, and ammonium-nitrate on pepper plants were investigated in soil culture, as well as in solution culture. in the soil culture, 3, 4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (dmpp) was used as a standard nitrification inhibitor to guarantee the presence of ammon...

background: as we all know, sperm has the capacity to take up foreign dna, therefore, sperm mediated gen transfer can be an inexpensive and simple method in animal transgenesis in various species. however, there is not sufficient evidence of dna uptake by ovine spermatozoa. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to examine the uptake of human lysozyme gene contained plasmid (pegfp-ire...

introduction: recently, due to the special characteristics of 166ho and chitosan, 166ho-chitosan complex was developed for treatment of tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma. this complex has been lately prepared with high radiochemical purity in our lab. the preclinical studies of the complex however should be performed to evaluate the tracer concentration in target and normal tissues before...
