We studied the active transport of intracellular components along neuron processes using a new method developed in our laboratory: dispersion-relation phase spectroscopy. This method is able to quantitatively map spatially the heterogeneous dynamics of the concentration field of the cargos at submicron resolution without the need for tracking individual components. The results in terms of densi...

Unified schemes of active galactic nuclei (AGN) require an obscuring dusty torus around the central engine. Torus sizes of hundreds of parsecs were deduced from early theoretical modeling efforts, but high-resolution IR observations now show that the torus size is no more than a few parsecs. This conflict is resolved when the clumpy nature of the torus is taken into account. The compact torus m...

The last decade saw long-awaited improvements in our understanding of active galactic nuclei (AGN) spectral properties. This contribution reviews some important observational results obtained from optical and UV data as well as constraints on physical parameters that control the structure and dynamics of the Broad Line Region.

Anthralin and some of its derivatives have implied antipsoriatic effect in clinical and pharmaceutical studies. Anthralin is synthesized by different strategies. In this work we report the synthesis of "OEHA" as a precursor of another biological active compound.

bipolaris oryzae causes rice brown spot disease which reduces rice yield with substantial global impact. streptomycetes isolated from rice fields of guilan province, iran, showed antifungal activity against the tested pathogen. from five active streptomyces spp. isolates, isolate g showed high antagonistic activity. to determine its taxonomical identity, its colonies characterized morphological...
