To study the differences between continuous and short-pulse mode microwave ablation (MWA).We built a computational model for MWA including 200 mm long 14 G antenna from Amica-Gen solved a...

Hormetic treatments using high-intensity, pulsed polychromatic light (HIPPL) and low-intensity UV-C (LIUV) can control Botrytis cinerea on lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in a controlled environment. For the cv. Temira, 48 pulses of HIPPL significantly reduced mean disease progression (26%), while 0.64 kJ/m2 LIUV gave reductions 27%. No or treatment for Amica. A 0.98 dose 24 HIPPL, however, progressio...

the interaction of sulfur mustard with aminoacids and proteins has been investigated in this study. rats were injected with sublethal doses of sulfur mustard subcutaneously and intraperitoneally. at different time intervals, plasma and urine samples were collected. the binding affinity of sulfur mustard with urinary and plasma proteins and enzymes was studied for the first time using non-ideal ...

Background: Sulfur mustard gas is a chemical agent that has been used in many wars, especially in Iran-Iraq war. This chemical agent affects many organs including lungs, eyes and skin, causing numerous acute and chronic lesions including erythema and hyperpigmentation, respectively. This study was conducted to evaluate erythema and melanin in subjects with a history of exposure to sulfur ...

In Sri Lanka, mustard (Brassica juncea) is cultivated as a subsidiary crop for the seeds used as a condiment in cooking. In the Indian sub-continent, however, it is an important oilseed crop used as a source of vegetable oil. Mustard has over 45% erucic acid (C22:1) which is unsuitable nutritionally for human consumption. The Brassica oilseed species, B. napus and B. campestris, were developed ...

Background: Mustard gas is a disabling chemical weapon and was widely used in first world war and Iraq-Iran war. Its toxic effects could be acute or chronic and they could particularly affects lungs, eyes and skin. Objective: To study the frequency of chronic complications of sulfure Mustard gas in Iranian victims 14 to 20 years after exposure. Patients and Methods: This descriptive cross-secti...

in order to study the interaction allelopathic effects of wheat, barley and wild mustard on seed germination and seedling growth, this investigation was conducted in 2009 in two separate experiments. allelopathic effect of four aqueous extracts (0, 2.5, 5 and 10%) of wild mustard on wheat and barley germination was evaluated in the first experiment, based on two randomized completely designs (r...
