background: black seed (nigella sativa l.) in traditional medicine is well known that the chemical composition of the immune system with many applications in traditional medicine to fight the infection. this study investigated the effect of the plant's role in the immune system and blood protein. experimental: in this study male mice of balb/c strain were divided into four groups tested. contr...

two different propagation procedures including aeroponics and soil systems were compared for the minitubers production in potato. the minitubers were evaluated for several quality characters. the plant materials were from three cultivars, agria, marfona and savalan. the plantlets were grown in aeroponics and soil production systems at a plant density of 100 plants per m-2 and stem length, root ...

Downsampling is the process of reducing the sampling rate of a discrete signal. It has many applications in image processing, audio, radar etc. The reduction factor of the sampling rate can be an integer or a rational greater than one. This paper describes how sampled data system theory can be used to design an L/L optimal downsampler which reduces the sampling rate by an positive integer facto...

A gradient-type algorithm for the parametric identification of a nonlinear structure (L-N-L), comprising of a linear FIR filter in front of a set of nonlinear functions is investigated with respect to its robustness. The set of nonlinear functions is represented by a weighted sum of basis functions. Specifically, a feedback structure, describing the update-part of the adaptive algorithm, is dev...

background & aim: in present study, some of the iranian endemic medicinal plants were used to evaluate potential as well as therapeutic agent and immunostimulants in aquaculture. the essential oils of five species from leaves and inflorescence were used to determinate the effects on immune system in rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss). experimental: the experimental in a completely randomiz...

conclusion both adhesive systems showed good biological compatibility. background to investigate pulp response to the application of two types adhesive systems (total-etch and self-etch) in human premolar teeth. materials and methods cavities limited to enamel walls in all margins with 2.5 mm depth were prepared on buccal surfaces of thirty three human premolars. the cavities were treated with ...
