aerial parts of salvia mirzayanii was extracted with methanol. methanol extract was suspended in water and defatted with petroleum ether. the defatted part was then partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. the ethyl acetate partition was chromatographed on a silica gel column to afford several fractions. lymphocyte proliferation inhibitory assay of the resulted fractions was compared in vit...

This paper deals with the statistical analysis of the uniaxial compressive strength and of the elastic modulus of jointed rock masses under different confining pressures. Properties of the rock masses with different joint fabric, with and without gouge have been considered in the analysis. A large amount of experimental data of jointed rock masses from the literature has been compiled and used ...

A water distribution network is one of the important parts of infrastructure systems. The efficient management and proactive planning of capital investment of these assets are fundamental for efficient and effective service delivered by water companies. The direct economic costs (i.e. rehabilitation investment, repair costs, water loss, etc.) as well as indirect costs (i.e. service and traffic ...

Background: Negative regulatory mechanisms of ROCK signaling are poorly understood. We have discovered a novel mechanism to attenuate ROCK signaling. Results: Coronin1B is a novel binding partner of ROCK2 that inhibits ROCK signaling to myosin. Conclusion: Coronin1B regulates ROCK by a novel signal attenuation mechanism. Significance: Coronin1B attenuation of ROCK signaling is associated with N...

This paper presents a collaborative control scheme involving “unloading-solidifying” to prevent rock bursts during narrow pillar recovery at large mining depths. In this study, the stress distribution rule of coal mass excavation and process is studied, energy accumulation characteristics overlying hard thick roof structure are investigated. way, burst inducing mechanism working face under comp...

[1] Experimental data for alteration of synthetic Martian basalts at pH = 0–1 indicate that chemical fractionations at low pH are vastly different from those observed during terrestrial weathering. Rock surface analyses from Gusev crater are well described by the relationships apparent from low-pH experimental alteration data. A model for rock surface alteration is developed, which indicates th...
