effect of controlled atmospheres (cas) at various concentrations of co2, n2 and o2 on the lethal times of tribolium castaneum and trogoderma granarium was investigated at 20 and 30 ºc. experiments were performed using a recirculatory multi-flask apparatus. the results revealed that, the shortest times (0.1, 0.3 and 0.9 day for adults, larvae and pupae, respectively) required to obtain 50% morta...

A simple technique is described for the rapid and accurate calibration of flask press spring loads for studies in which denture base resins require to be processed under uniform loading conditions. The technique was evaluated in com­ mercially available flask presses and was found to perform with a high degree of precision. It offers a simple solution to the problem of standardising flask press...

Background: Generation of an effective dendritic cell (DC) based cancer vaccine depends on appropriate differentiation of monocytes in vitro. Objective: To compare the effects of monocyte separation methods, flask adherence (Flask-DC) and magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS-DC), on phenotypic and functional characteristics of resultant DCs. Methods: DCs from healthy volunteers were generated ...

background: fibroblasts are one of the important cells in wound healing. these cells create a proper bed for keratinocytes migration and wound contraction.wound healing in distal limb of horses has complications, such as formation of exuberant granulation tissue (egt). the main factor in this problem is overgrowing of fibroblasts. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to compare fibr...
