Abstract Introduction Increased slow-wave activity (SWA) following sleep loss is a well-established physiological marker of increased pressure. Recent research found SWA changes in response to partially accounted for next-day decrements positive affect (Finan et al., 2015; 2017). To our knowledge, however, this line inquiry has been limited adults. Recently, we greater during night healthy pred...

We present an extension, for nonlinear optimization under linear constraints, of an algorithm for quadratic programming using a trust region idea introduced by Ye and Tse [Math. Programming, 44 (1989), pp. 157–179] and extended by Bonnans and Bouhtou [RAIRO Rech. Opér., 29 (1995), pp. 195–217]. Due to the nonlinearity of the cost, we use a linesearch in order to reduce the step if necessary. We...

two flavones, ladanein and 6-hydroxy-5,7,4′-trimethoxyflavone and one labdane-typediterpene, ent-13-epi-manoyloxide, were isolated from an ethyl acetate-methanol extract ofthe aerial parts of salvia sharifii. the compounds were purified using several chromatographicmethods. structural elucidation of the compounds was performed using their 1h and 13c-nmrdata, ei mass and uv spectral data. the co...

Fragrant species of the genus Salvia have been attributed many medicinal properties, which include anticancer activity. In the present study, cytotoxic properties of total methanol extract of Salvia chloroleuca Rech. f. & Aellen and its fractions were investigated on MCF- 7, a breast carcinoma cell line. Malignant and non-malignant cells were cultured in RPMI medium and incubated with different...

The biological activity and composition of the essential oil of Sclerorhachis leptoclada Rech. f. an endemic species from northeast of Iran was studied. The essential oil was isolated from the aerial flowering parts of the plant and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Fifty-four compounds accounting for 95.9% of the total oil were characterized. The main constituents were (E)-nerolidol (14.5%), terpinen-...

Medicinal plants have long been considered for the treatment of many diseases among Iranians and in recent years use medicinal has increased. In traditional Iranian medicine, described to eliminate kidney stones, dissolve stones or prevent stone formation. Based on results Cichorium intybus L. Biarum straussii Engl., Tribulus terrestris L., Nasturtium officinale R. Br., Alhagi camelorum Fisch.,...

BACKGROUND Mindium laevigatum (Vent.) Rech. F. plant grows in central part of Iran. And used by local people as medical plant. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the in vitro antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activities of the methanolic extracts of aerial and flower parts of plant. MATERIALS AND METHODS The leaves and stem and flower of bark from M. laevigatum ...
