Red cell stroma protein and hemoglobin can be labeled by feeding C(14) lysine during periods of active blood regeneration following anemia. Stroma proteins are produced and a maximum concentration of the C(14) label appears 2 to 3 days earlier than with hemoglobin,-which is to say that stroma building precedes hemoglobin construction. The concentration of isotope in stroma protein may exceed it...

Arginine-vasopressin (AVP) is a homeostatic modulator of body temperature during fever and may also be involved in normal body temperature control. In the present study the hypothalamus of mice bi-directionally selected for thermoregulatory nest-building behavior was immunocytochemically labeled for AVP. The low-selected mice had a 1.5-fold higher number of AVP-immunoreactive neurons in the sup...

one of the primary stages of climatic architectural design is the knowledge of the environmental conditions and meteorology data analyzing according to human thermal comfort and usage of building material. nowadays access to meteorology data of all iran meteorology stations is available on the website of the iran meteorology organization. therefore every architect who feels himself/herself resp...

in this paper a new isolating system is introduced for short to mid-rise buildings. in comparison to conventional systems such as lrb and hrb, the proposed system has the advantage of no need to cutting edge technology and has low manufacturing cost. this system is made up of two orthogonal pairs of pillow-shaped rollers that are located between flat bed and plates. by using this system in two ...

the aim of the present study was to determine the effects of adenotonsillectomy on height, weight and body mass index (bmi) in children under 12 years old, with or without airway obstruction and evaluation of the risk of overweight in them. in this case-control study, 120 children with the age of 2-12 years old were studied; 60 children as case group who underwent adenotonsillectomy and 60 heal...

Introduction : Radon (Rn)  is a chemically inert gas with no odor, color, and taste. It is created from the decay of uranium in the soil and can penetrate the building through the interiors. As a result, Rn can enter the human body with the release of alpha radiation along with airborne dust and cause chronic illnesses such as lung cancer and multiple sclerosis. The Multiple Sclerosis disease, ...
