The Protein Movie Generator (PMG) is an online service able to generate high-quality pictures and animations for which one can then define simple storyboards. The PMG can therefore efficiently illustrate concepts such as molecular motion or formation/dissociation of complexes. Emphasis is put on the simplicity of animation generation. Rendering is achieved using Dino coupled to POV-Ray. In orde...

Polymicrogyria (PMG) is a complex cortical malformation which has so far defied any mechanistic or genetic explanation. Adopting a broad definition of an abnormally folded or festooned cerebral cortical neuronal ribbon, this review addresses the literature on PMG and the mechanisms of its development, as derived from the neuropathological study of many cases of human PMG, a large proportion in ...

پایش دمای سطح زمین (LST)، که یکی از پارامترهای مهم زیست‌محیطی محسوب می‌شود، تا کنون با استفاده سنجنده‌های سنجش دوری دارای توان تفکیک زمانی بالا، همچون سنجندة مادیس (توان روزانه و مکانی یک کیلومتر)، به‌طور گسترده‌ای صورت گرفته است. مهم‌ترین مشکلات این سنجنده‌ها پایین‌بودن آنهاست کارآیی‌شان را، در مواردی شناخت آتش مناطق جنگلی مطالعة جزایر گرمایی شهری، محدود کرده مقابل، سنجنده‌هایی ASTER 90 متر شا...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this experimental study was to evaluate the efficacy of carvacrol (CVR) and pomegranate (PMG) against methotrexate (MTX)-induced intestinal damage using histopathological and immunohistochemical techniques. METHODS Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 195-250 g, were divided into four groups: control, MTX treatment alone, MTX plus CVR and MTX plus PMG. A sing...

Polymicrogyria (PMG) and periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH) are two developmental brain malformations that have been described independently in multiple syndromes. Clinically, they present with epilepsy and developmental handicaps in both children and adults. Here we describe their occurrence together as the two major findings in a group of at least three cortical malformation syndromes....

In most mosquito species, the females require a blood-feeding for complete egg development. However, in Toxorhynchites mosquitoes, the eggs develop without blood-feeding, and both females and males exclusively feed on sugary diets. The midgut is a well-understood organ in blood-feeding mosquitoes, but little is known about it in non-blood-feeding ones. In the present study, the detailed morphol...

BACKGROUND Primary mediastinal goiters (PMG) are very uncommon; few cases were reported in the literature. PATIENT DESCRIPTION We report here two cases of mediastinal goiters that met all criteria of PMG. Transternal approach was necessary for complete removal and pathological diagnoses confirmed their adenomatous goiter nature. The rarity of their occurrence, their clinical characteristics a...

پژوهش حاضر به بررسی این مسأله می‌پردازد که چگونه نوعِ متد آموزشی می‌تواند بر میزان اضطراب زبانی دانشجویان زبان‌های خارجی تأثیر بگذارد. یک گروه 40 نفره از دختر و پسر در سطح پیش‌دانشگاهی به‌عنوان جامعه آماری انتخاب شدند. آموزش زبان فرانسه دو هفته‌ی اول، طریق گرامر-ترجمه انجام شد. پایان هفته تست تعیین مقیاس کلاس خارجی: FLCAS، بعمل آمد. دوم نوع رویکرد کنشی تغییر یافت. پس مجدداً فراگیران نتایج حاصله ن...

BACKGROUND In allergic asthma, Th2 lymphocytes are believed to play important roles in orchestrating airway eosinophilia and inflammation. Resetting the Th1/Th2 imbalance may have a therapeutic role in asthma. The mycobacterium tuberculosis 30-kilodalton major secretory protein (antigen 85B, Ag85B) can protect animals from M. tuberculosis infection by inducing a Th1-dominant response. METHODS...
