By proposing a predictive method with no adjustable parameter and by using infinite dilution activity coefficients of components in binary mixtures obtained from UNIFAC model, the binary interaction parameters (k12) in van der Waals mixing rule (vdWMR) and Orbey-Sandler mixing rule (OSMR) have been evaluated. The predicted binary interaction parameters are used in Peng-Robinson-S...

the srk two-parameter cubic equation of state has been used for the calculation of the equilibrium constant using the liquid and vapor fugacity coefficients for three binary mixtures. dew and bubble points have been determined using the equilibrium constants and the phase envelope has been plotted showing dearly that retrograde condenstaion occurs. the following percent deviations have been obt...

longitudinal  study  plays  an  important  role  in  the  epidemiological,  clinical,  and  social  science studies. in these kinds of studies, every individual is observed frequently during a period of time. the statistical analysis of longitudinal presents special opportunities  and challenges. the repeated outcomes for one individual tend to be correlated among themselves also one of the pro...

the concept of  -semihypergroups is a generalization of semigroups, a generalization of semihypergroups and a generalization of  -semigroups. in this paper, we study the concept of semiprime ideals in a  -semihypergroup and prove some results. also, we introduce the notion of  -hypergroups and closed  -subhypergroups. finally, we study the concept of  -semihypergroups associated to binary...

a capillary electrophoresis method was used for assay of some degradation products of carvedilol. the optimized parameters were as; running buffer 80 mm acetate dissolved in methanol/ethanol mixture (65:35 v/v), applied voltage of 19 kv, temperature is 20 ºc and the wavelength range of 200-350 nm. the results indicate that the proposed ce method could effectively separate carvedilol from its de...

differentiation is an epigenetic process which is installed by changes of transcriptional programs over successive cellular divisions. a number of studies have reported the effects of biochemical modifications of chromatin (dna and chromatin proteins) on the regulation of transcription. although, these studies are able to explain how transcription of a given gene is regulated (toward activation...

background degenerative retinal diseases, including age related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and hereditary retinal dystrophies are major causes of blindness. the principal defect in these diseases is cell loss which is amenable to both cell based neuroprotective and neuroregenerative therapies. to briefly review the lines of research and potential candidates for cell based therapies among r...

elucidating the critical epigenetics events involved in differentiation and reprogramming of cells to primordial germ cells (pgcs) is among the interesting issues in stem cell research. here, i will talk about critical transcription factors and global hypomethylation in development of germ cells. evidence strongly suggests that the earliest pgcs emerging in the e7.25 mouse embryo epiblast have ...

backgrounds: a straight-forward way to identify whether a drug or environmental chemical can be harmful to unborn baby is to evaluate its effect on laboratory animals. all invivo methods need large number of animal and are therefore time consuming and expensive. however, the thousands of chemicals in need of testing, to reduce the spending of live animals, an assortment of in vitro assays has b...

the introduction and evolution of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) could be traced back to 1950s, to the studies on interactions among irradiation, covering spleen and bone marrow from it and injection of bone marrow cells. today, hsct is considered a well-established, effective and promising means of therapy for various malignant and non-malignant medical conditions, both in chil...
