Sleep spindles and spike-wave discharges are thought to originate from the same thalamic pacemaker. In the present work it is investigated whether sleep spindles and spike-wave discharges are also sensitive for the same drugs. Adult male WAGIRij rats were chronically implanted with frontal and occipital EEG electrode pairs. Rats were intraperitoneally injected with clonidine (0.00625 mgkg), phe...

Turpun besin maddesi ihtiyacının karşılanması ve yüksek kalitede ürün alınmasında kükürt(S) önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Biyokömür uygulamaları toprak kalitesini bitki gelişimini olumlu etkilemektedir. Çalışma; tarım potansiyeline sahip olan İç Anadolu’da alan Konya kireçli topraklarında yetiştirilen turp bitkisinin kükürtlü gübre isteğinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür.

Cortical processing of emotional words differs from that of neutral words. Using EEG event-related potentials (ERPs), the present study examines the functional stage(s) of this differentiation. Positive, negative, and neutral nouns were randomly mixed with pseudowords and letter strings derived from words within each valence and presented for reading while participants' EEG was recorded. Result...

Solanum nigrum was found to proliferate in sediments with high levels of metal pollution. The effect of Zn on plant growth and tissue metal accumulation was assessed. The response of the plant to the inoculation with four different isolates of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) (Glomus sp. BEG140, Glomus claroideum, Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices) was studied. While the isolates of AMF ...

PURPOSE The dose-limiting toxicities, maximum tolerated dose, pharmacokinetic profile, and preliminary antitumor activity of neratinib (HKI-272), an irreversible pan ErbB inhibitor, were determined in patients with advanced solid tumors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Neratinib was administered orally as a single dose, followed by a 1-week observation period, and then once daily continuously. Planned do...

Sub-micron sized airborne particulate matter (PM) is not collected well on regular quartz or glass fiber filter papers. We used a micro-orifice uniform deposit impactor (MOUDI) to fractionate PM into six size fractions and deposit it on specially designed high purity thin aluminum disks. The MOUDI separated PM into fractions 56-100 nm, 100-180 nm, 180-320 nm, 320-560 nm, 560-1000 nm, and 1000-1...

Phytoremediation is an efficient approach that uses plants to remediate the polluted environments.The aim of this research was to evaluate phytoremediation ability of Artemisia aucheriin the contaminated soil to Cadmium, Lead, Zinc and Nickel. A greenhouse experiment was performed to investigate the effect of Municipal Solid Waste Compost (MSWC) on phytoremediation efficiency of A....

Analysis of the effects of cyclosporine A (25-28 mgkg(-1)) and/or methotrexate (0.1 mgkg(-1)) treatments on dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) and prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) activities and on algesic response in two distinct status of murine macrophages (Mphis) was undertaken. In resident Mphis, DPPIV and POP were affected by neither individual nor combined treatments. In thioglycolate-elicited M...

The objective of this research work is to solve the problem due iron deficiency in soybean crop. Iron chlorosis a widespread agricultural crop, especially alkaline and calcareous soils resulting complete crop failure. To eradicate problem, methodology adopted was conducted with factorial experimental design different doses (0, 2.5, 5 7.5 mgkg-1) FeDTPA 15 types soil categorized into low (L1-L5)...

Several industrial pollution sources at the territory of the Republic of Macedonia, were studied, one Pb-Zn mine with mill, one copper mine with mill and copper leaching facility, as well as one former Pb-Zn smelting facility near the city of Veles and one Fe-Ni smelting facility near the city of Kavadarci. The concentrations of heavy metals at Veles hot-spot were in the range: 20÷1823 mg kg1Pb...
