evaluation of weed population and their interference on lentil varieties at different sowing date was investigated in a field experiment in khorramabad during 2005-06 growing season. the experimental design was a randomized complete block in factorial arrangement with 4 replications. the experiment had 3 factors including: planting date at three levels (autumn, winter, and spring) weed interfer...

the drawing of frequency-path (f-p) models of optical beams is an approach for nonlinearity analysis in nano-metrology systems and sensors based on the laser interferometers. in this paper, the frequency-path models of four nano-metrology laser interferometry systems are designed, analyzed and simulated, including conventional and modified two- and three-longitudinal-mode laser interferometers....

Spectrophotometric-dual-enzyme-simultaneous-assay (SDESA) for enzyme-linked-immunosorbent-assay (ELISA) of two components in one well is a patented platform when a special pair of labels is accessible. With microplate readers, alkaline phosphatase on 4-nitro-1-naphthylphosphate (4NNPP) served as label A; Pseudomonas aeruginosa arylsulfatase (PAAS) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) on their substr...

Cancer cells couple heightened lipogenesis with lipolysis to produce fatty acid networks that support malignancy. Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) plays a principal role in this process by converting monoglycerides, including the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), to free fatty acids. Here, we show that MAGL is elevated in androgen-independent versus androgen-dependent human prostate ...

A xanthine oxidase enzyme electrode (xanthine oxidase immobilized on electrochemically modified graphite and conveniently coated with gelatine electrode working surface) for quantitative analysis of xanthine is proposed. The detection of thus developed electrochemical system is based on the electroreduction of hydrogen peroxide generated in enzyme layer and offered L-ascorbic and uric acid redu...

Sphingosine kinase (SphK) 1 and 2 phosphorylate sphingosine to generate sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a pluripotent lipophilic mediator implicated in a variety of cellular events. Here we show that the activity of β-site APP cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE1), the rate-limiting enzyme for amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) production, is modulated by S1P in mouse neurons. Treatment by SphK inhibitor, RNA interfere...

The esterification of various chlorophyllides with geranylgeranyl diphosphate was investigated as catalyzed by the enzyme chlorophyll synthetase. The enzyme source was an etioplast membrane fraction from etiolated oat seedlings (Avena sativa L.). The following chlorophyllides were prepared from the corresponding chlorophylls by the chlorophyllase reaction: chlorophyllide a (2) and b (4), bacter...

Richter and Clisby (1) have investigated the t,oxic effect of phenylthiocarbamide in rats. The acute toxic effect is characterized by an effusion of fluid into the thoracic cavity, but in chronic poisoning there is a lowered body temperature, which suggests a depression of metabolism, and compensatory changes in the thyroid. It was therefore of interest to test the effect of the drug in vitro o...
