Background: Several studies reported the clinical features of IgE-mediated hypersensitivity after ingestion of melon. Melon allergy is a common IgE-mediated fruit allergy in Iran. This prompted us to investigate immunochemical and molecular properties of the major allergen in melon fruit, to compare the IgE-binding capacity of the natural protein with the recombinant allergen, and to determine ...

It was shown previously that the anticancerous cytotoxic oxygenated triterpenes, cucurbitacin E (Cuc E) and its deacetylated form, cucurbitacin I (Cuc I), interacted differently with human serum albumin. In this study, the biochemical stability of Cuc E was investigated in vitro by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. The hydrolysis rate in acidic and alkaline solutions, and in...

Objective-  In the present study we investigated the isolation protocol, population doubling time (PDT) and the expression of a pluripotential gene by RT-PCR analysis of early transcription factor Nanog in caprine umbilical cord (CUC) Wharton's jelly mesenchymal cells (WJMCs). Design- Experimental in vitro study.   Animals- Four mix breed goat.   Procedures- CUCs were collected from abattoi...

The characteristic bitter substances of the Cucurbitaceae act as kairomones for a large group of diabroticite beetles (Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae, Luperini), promoting host selection and compulsive feeding behavior. These beetles (e.g., Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi) respond to as little as 1 ng of cucurbitacin (Cuc) B on thin-layer plates by arrest and compulsive feeding. Six species of d...

The complexity of assessing the irrigation performance a solid-set sprinkler system implies analyzing factors features, spacing among sprinklers, evaluation heights, meteorological variables and crop. In this research, number experiments with impact sprinklers were evaluated different operating conditions models uniformity (CUC) losses due to drift wind (WDEL) assessed at catch-can heights. Sta...

In a national program to combat cervical uterine cancer (CUC) four basic elements should exist: primary prevention, early detection, diagnosis/treatment and palliative care. Of these, early detection is the most effective modality. One of the purposes of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is to encourage the use of research results with the assistance provided, reinforcing the importance of research...

A mixture of copper complex and Al/CuO nanothermite, Al/CuO/CuC, represents one the state-of-the-art gas-generating thermite systems with various pyrotechnic applications due to its tunable gas release rates. The reactivity reactive inks loadings poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) binder mixed Al/CuO/CuC is characterized using high-speed imaging diagnostics pressure measurements. For a PVP mass fract...

Recent technical advancements in computing devices and communication networks, combined with changes in the way people use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems, have transformed the ICT industry. In this paper, we present the Collaborative Urban Computing (CUC) paradigm which supports serendipitous cooperation between a set of users physically located in an urban environment a...

The radial water distribution and irrigation performance of an agricultural sprinkler with plastic nozzles were analysed. Twenty-six tests with an isolated sprinkler corresponding to different combinations of three working pressure (p, 200, 300 and 400 kPa) and three nozzle diameters of the main nozzle (4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 mm) were performed to evaluate the radial water distribution curves, All th...
