introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare working length (wl) changes after straight-line access (sla) and different coronal flaring (cf) methods. materials and methods: coronal access preparations were made (without sla) in molar teeth to allow access to 120 canal orifices with a hand file. the suitable cusp and root tips were then flattened to facilitate reproducible and...

Basil belongs to the Lamiaceae family, is one of the most important aromatic and medicinal plants, which it widely cultivated in many countries. The areal parts, especially leaves of sweet basil are widely used to enhance the flavor of foods such as salads, pasta, tomato products, vegetables, pizza, meat, soups, marine foods, confectioneries and other products. This study was conducted to inves...

Sweat Na(+) concentration ([Na(+)]) varies greatly among individuals and is particularly high in cystic fibrosis (CF). The purpose of this study was to determine whether excess sweat [Na(+)] differentially impacts thirst drive and other physiological responses during progressive dehydration via exercise in the heat. Healthy subjects with high-sweat [Na(+)] (SS) (91.0 ± 17.3 mmol/l), Controls wi...

We tested the hypothesis that lower blood pressure and increased vasodilatation reported in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients with hemoglobin SS genotype (SS) are translated by lower arterial stiffness determined by pulse wave velocity (PWV) and wave reflections assessed by augmentation index (AI). We enrolled 20 SS (8 females; 12 male) patients closely matched for age, gender, height, and bod...

plant secondary materials play an important role in health and human nutrition. according to the importance of coneflower in the production of secondary materials and also the effect of nutrient on the amount of secondary materials, a pot experiment was conducted with a completely randomized design six treatments and three replications in sari university of agricultural sciences and natural res...

It is well established that the climbing fiber (CF) input to a cerebellar Purkinje cell (PC) can exert a controlling influence on the background simple spike (SS) activity of the cell, in that repetitive stimulation of CFs causes a decrease in SS activity, and removal or inactivation of CFs is followed by a rise in activity. In the present study, the effects of inactivation of CFs in the short ...

in order to investigate the response of coneflower to applying chemical fertilizer and incorporation with municipal solid waste compost (mswc), a pot experiment was conducted as completely randomized design with six treatments included: control (without applying chemical fertilizer and compost), chemical fertilizer (150 kg n, 120 kg p2o5 and 250 kg k2o per hectare from urea, triple super phosph...

29 Swine slurry (SS) is usually stored in open ponds in Mediterranean conditions before 30 being applied to crop fields. During this storage nitrogen (N) is lost to the atmosphere 31 mainly by ammonia volatilization diminishing the fertilizer value of the slurry and 32 causing environmental problems. Permeable covers made from plant materials are low33 cost alternatives to reduce these losses. ...
