to design the equipment and facilities for preservation, storage and processing of pomegranate, it is necessary to know the specific heat and thermal conductivity of the fruit components. the specific heat of exocarp, mesocarp and of seeds of pomegranate were assessed at three moisture content levels (30, 50 and 76% for seed and mesocarp; 15, 35 and 52% for exocarp) and at four temperature leve...

epilepsy is one of the common neurologic disorders in children. drug side-effects are one of the important problems in treating patients with epilepsy. using the antiepileptic medication may cause different side effects such as disorder in bone and vitamin d metabolism. sodium valproate is one of the antiepileptic medications used widely. some of its side effects include digestive disorder, inc...

the adsorption of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (2-mbi) on au(111) has been studied withcyclic voltammetry (cv), in-situ subtractively normalised interfacial ft-ir spectroscopy (sniftirs)and scanning tunnelling microscopy (stm). although adsorbed 2-mbi reduces the interfacial capacityand quenches the characteristic features of the cyclic voltammogram for sulfate adsorption,heterogeneous electron tran...

introduction: staphylococcus aureus (s. aureus) is a bacterium found on the skin and hair of people and animals. s. aureus could product some extracellular protein. materials and methods: one hundred and fifty s. aureus isolates that were collected from different resources were screened for the meca, tst-1, eta and etb genes by pcr. 50 isolates were selected from human staphylococcal isolates a...

background: systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) is a chronic autoimmune disease which is characterized by b-cell abnormality and auto-antibody generation. since bacterial infections are the most important causes of mortality in these patients, pneumococcal vaccination is recommended for children with sle. objective: to investigate humoral immunity and specific-antibody formation in response to a...

some adipocytokines are cardioprotective or pro-inflammatory for cardiovascular system. chronic infection with chlamydia pneumoniae and helicobacter pylori has been also considered as novel risk factors for atherosclerosis. the main aim of the current population-based study is to investigate the potential link between circulating adipocytokines and chlamydia pneumoniae or helicobacter pylori ig...

background poly 3-hydroxybutyrate (phb), a class of poly hydroxyalkanoates (phas), is a group of bacterial storage polymers, produced by various microorganisms in response to nutrient limitation. phas are biodegradable polymers which could be a good substitute for current petrochemical plastics. phb has been synthesized during three enzymatic steps including three genes. objectives our aim was ...

a new and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of 4-aryl-7-benzylidene-1,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-2h-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-2-ones through biginelli-like reaction of cyclopentanone, with urea/thiourea and aromatic aldehyde employing p-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (dbsa) as a recyclable catalyst under solvent-free condition. the recovered catalyst was recycled for further runs. the pr...

background: in order to diagnose the site of thrombi, radiolabeled streptokinase can be prepared. the radiolabeled compound can be used in imaging of thrombi in many cardiovascular diseases. materials and methods: streptokinase was successively labeled with [67ga]-gallium chloride using cyclic dtpa-dianhydride. the conjugation with dtpa was optimized for concentration, time and temperature foll...
