Pichia pastoris CBS 2612 behavior under air pressures of 1, 3 and 5 bar in culture media of glycerol (pure and crude) and methanol was studied. Generally, the increase in oxygen transfer rate due to the increase of total pressure improved cellular growth for all carbon sources and for batch and fed-batch processes with different feeding rate strategies. In batch cultures, 1.4-, 1.2-, and 1.5-fo...

germination stage is an important stage of plant growth stage that often is affected by environmental stress including water and salinity stresses including drought and salinity. in order to study germination characteristics of scrophularia striatain water and salinity stress conditions at different temperatures an experiment was conducted. temperatures regimes included 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 an...

We have shown that buspirone, a partial agonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A (5-HT1A) receptors, improves motor dysfunctions induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) and haloperidol in rats. The present work extends these findings by investigating the role of 5-HT1A receptors on catalepsy-like immobilization in rats, a model of Parkinson’s disease. Catalepsy was induced by unilateral infusion of 6-OH...

PURPOSE To compare prefabricated and custom-made bars used for implant-retained mandibular complete overdentures. MATERIALS Ten completely edentulous patients were selected for replacement with dental implants. Each patient received 2 (press-fit) dental implants, 1 implant on each side in the canine regions of the mandible. The implants were left submerged (unloaded) for a healing osseointegr...

Influence of formation of surface nano/ultrafine structure using deep rolling on plasma nitriding and tribological properties of the AISI 316L stainless steel was investigated. Initially, the deep rolling process was carried out on the bar-shaped specimens at 15 cycles with 0.2 mm/s longitudinal rate and 22.4 rpm bar rotation. Then, plasma nitriding treatment was applied on the as-received...

Mandibular fractures are frequently encountered in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is one of the treatments of choice (1-3). Maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) is usually performed during surgery (2-5). Recently, an arch bar was reconsidered as a means of providing additional stability to internal fixation in anterior mandibular fractures (1, 5). The ar...

effects of homogenization sequence (before or after heating) and homogenization pressure (0, 50, or 150 bar) were studied on the certain textural properties of milk-based creamy dessert including hardness, surface tension and syneresis. also, the microstructure of the treatments was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (sem). homogenization at 50 bar after heating led to the highest hard...

We present the results of the Infrared Space Observatory Short Wavelength Spectrometer (ISO-SWS) observations of Jupiter related to ammonia. We focus on two spectral regions; the first one (the 10-μm region), ranging from 9.5 to 11.5 μm, probes atmospheric levels between 1 and 0.2 bar, while the second one (the 5-μm window), ranging from 4.8 to 5.5 μm, sounds the atmosphere between 8 and 2 bars...
