The seismic anisotropy observed in Earth's lowermost mantle (D″ layer) is thought to originate from the lattice-preferred orientation (LPO) of materials induced by plastic deformation. Ferropericlase second most abundant mineral lower mantle, and its LPO deformation may significantly contribute D″ layer. slip system(s) ferropericlase controlling layer still controversial, owing technical diffic...

In the present study, oxidative damage parameters in preeclamptic pregnant women were investigated and compared with healthy tissues. Antioxidant enzymes determined 53 placentas. The of free oxygen radicals placental tissue was by measuring antioxidant enzyme systems (The amounts lipid peroxidation (LPO), glutathione (GSH) catalase (CAT), myeloperoxidase (MPx) activities nitric oxide levels (NO...

The Knuth-Bendix ordering is usually preferred over the lexicographic path ordering in successful implementations of resolution and superposition calculi. However, it is incompatible with certain requirements of hierarchic superposition calculi, and it also does not allow non-linear definition equations to be oriented in a natural way. We present two extensions of the Knuth-Bendix ordering that...

Abstract A large percentage of small- and medium-sized farms have ceased operations in the last 2 decades part due to their inability respond increased competitive intensity. Consequently, strategic responses farmers adopt intensity are important understand as they may influence performance ultimately survival. Based on a sample 388 randomly selected Sweden using structural equation modelling, ...

The red coloration of apple skin is mainly due to anthocyanins that are reported to possess health benefits. The aim of the present study was to determine the anthocyanin content in three underutilized Malus pumila Mill cultivars, Cranberry, Kerr, and Niedzwetzkyana, and confirm their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Our analysis revealed that the three cultivars studied contained ...

OBJECTIVES We sought to study the markers of lipid peroxidation and defenses against oxidative stress in patients with varying degrees of heart failure. BACKGROUND Despite advances in other areas of cardiovascular disease, the morbidity and mortality from congestive heart failure (CHF) are increasing. Data mainly from animal models suggest that free radical injury may promote myocardial decom...

The Lindås Nappe, Bergen Arc, is located in western Norway and displays two high-grade metamorphic structures. A Precambrian granulite facies foliation is transected by Caledonian fluid-induced eclogite-facies shear zones and pseudotachylytes. To understand how a superimposed tectonic event may influence olivine fabric and change seismic anisotropy, two lenses of spinel lherzolite were studied ...

The effect of biofloc (BFT) and clear water (CW) at low (ls) high-water salinity (hs) in wild juveniles Penaeus setiferus were evaluated. Four treatments implemented: hsBFT, lsBFT, hsCW, lsCW. After 45 days, final weight (FW), gain (WG), hepatosomatic index (HSI), survival rate (SR) Antioxidant activity muscle hepatopancreas measured: superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione-S tr...

Introduction and Aim: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex neurological condition might emerge as result ofcomplex combination of genetic risk factors with environmental triggers, including oxidative stress. in this study we aimed to evaluate the effects oral Crocin on stress patients MS. 
 Materials Methods: Adjunct standard treatment, group (20 patients) received 30-mg/day (15 mg twice d...

Although concentrations of pharmaceutical compounds in aquatic ecosystems are low, they can cause toxic effects on organisms. The aim this study was to evaluate the diclofenac (DCF), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and caffeine (CAF), central nervous system stimulant, both alone or combined, Astyanax altiparanae males under acute exposure (96 h), measuring neurotoxicity biomarkers, anti...
