sesamol is a sesame lignan. sesame lignans have multiple functions, including antioxidant activity and also seem to have potential as a source of phytostrogens. this study was condncted to evaluate sesamol contents of 7 brands of iranian sesame seeds (sesamum indicume l.). the brands were named karaj 29, darab 14, ultan, dezful, varamin, branching naz, and nonbranching naz. after method validat...

effects of neglecting climatic patterns in buildings are more intense in severe climates such as tropical. it isresulting an excessive consumption of fossil fuels and consequently environmental pollutions in and after modern era. the objective of this research is to find climate-oriented intentions and solutions in tropical areas and compare them with dezful and bandar-e-lenge vernacular houses...

dezful embayment contains several potential source rocks deposited in tectonically active environments. existence of various source rocks with different geological ages makes this area one of the most prolific regions throughout the middle east. the pabdeh formation (lower paleocene-eocene), the gurpi formation (santonian-masstrichtian), the kazhdumi formation (albian) and the gadvan formation ...

Robust behavioral control programs for a simulated 2d vehicle can be constructed by artificial evolution. Corridor following serves here as an example of a behavior to be obtained through evolution. A controller’s fitness is judged by its ability to steer its vehicle along a collision free path through a simple corridor environment. The controller’s inputs are noisy range sensors and its output...

The high event-free survival rates of Down syndrome (DS) children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are due, in part, to increased in vitro sensitivity of DS myeloblasts to cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) and daunorubicin and the greater generation of ara-C triphosphate (ara-CTP) from ara-C compared with myeloblasts from non-DS patients (Taub et al, Blood 87:3395, 1996). This study further explore...
