the elm leaf beetle xanthogaleruca luteola müller (coleoptera: chrysomelidae), is a serious pest of elm (ulmus spp.) throughout iran. in the present study, lethal and sublethal effects of neem, achook® containing 0.03% azadirachtin, were assessed on mortality, growth, larval weight and feeding deterrence as well as enzymatic and non-enzymatic activities of third instar larvae of the elm leaf be...

The psychosomatic component of the metabolic syndrome, historical aspect problem under study, physiological and biochemical mechanisms pathogenesis are considered in article. symptomatic components syndrome their interrelation outlined, ways diagnosis therapy directions modern research this field outlined.

Three activated sludge reactors of different sizes and designs, one in pilot-plant-scale of 7,000 gallon liquid volume, and two in benchscales of 7.5 gallon and 1.2 gallon liquid volumes, respectively, were used to evaluate the scale-up effects on the process at outdoor temperatures. The reactors were operated under equivalent conditions by regulating the mean cell residence time, mean hydrauli...

MOTIVATION Modularity analysis is a powerful tool for studying the design of biological networks, offering potential clues for relating the biochemical function(s) of a network with the 'wiring' of its components. Relatively little work has been done to examine whether the modularity of a network depends on the physiological perturbations that influence its biochemical state. Here, we present a...

Bioinformatics is yielding extensive, and in some cases complete, genetic and biochemical information about individual cell types and cellular processes, providing the composition of living cells and the molecular structure of its components. These components together perform integrated cellular functions that now need to be analyzed. In particular, the functional definition of biochemical path...
