Ribes diacanthum Pall (RDP) is a member of the Saxifragaceae family. The plant is traditionally used in Mongolia for the treatment of various ailments associated with kidney and bladder's diseases, cystitis, kidney stone, and edema. This study was aimed to investigate antioxidant activities of different solvent extracts of whole Pall plants, based on ferric-reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP)...

Salinity is an abiotic stress that limits both yield and the expansion of agricultural crops to new areas. In the last 20 years our basic understanding of the mechanisms underlying plant tolerance and adaptation to saline environments has greatly improved owing to active development of advanced tools in molecular, genomics, and bioinformatics analyses. However, the full potential of investigati...

a study on the evaluating equivalent damping and response modification factors of frames equipped by pall friction dampers is presented. to do so, buildings with various stories were considered. nonlinear and linear dynamic time history analysis has been performed to evaluate equivalent damping for pall friction dampers. ground motions with various frequency characteristics scaled with iranian ...

Ten germplasms of three Crotalaria species viz. C. pallida (Acc. No. 4250, 4803, 4805, 4806, and 4807), incana 4790, 4801, 4804, 4809), juncea (Local) were investigated cytogenetically through Chromomycin A3 (CMA) 4′-6 diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) fluorescent bandings. After CMA-banding, 10 showed 31 centromeric 34 terminal bands which indicated a tendency accumulating GC-rich sequences at r...

The occurrence of gaseous microemboli (GME) within the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuit is largely overlooked, as are methods to ameliorate this occurrence. We aimed to determine if the air handling capability of the Quadrox D oxygenator was dependent upon whether it was used in conjunction with a centrifugal or roller pump; and if application of a Pall air eliminating filter (AEF) w...

1 . Throughout this paper, we use the following notation : c•1 , c2 , . . ., X0 , X1 , . . . denote positive absolute constants. We denote the number of elements of the finite set S by BSI . We write ex =exp (x) . We denote the least prime factor of n by p(n) . We write pall n if pain but pa+1 f n . v(n) denotes the number of the distinct prime factors of n, while the number of all the prime fa...

This study presents the operation of a biotrickling filter when treating a monochlorobenzene (MCB) contaminated gaseous emission. Treatment dynamics were characterised by exposing the reactor to various MCB Organic Loads (OL). The use of different growth support materials, namely limestone, sand, ceramic and PVC pall-rings, was investigated. Limestone led to dogging of the reactor due to the ac...

We have examined the properties of six heat and moisture exchange filters (HMEF) to ascertain their resistance to liquid flow and their ability to retain a challenge bacterium, Pseudomonas diminuta, from aqueous and nebulized suspensions. Only one HMEF, the Pall Ultipor was able to withstand a significantly greater pressure of liquid than that found in clinical practice. However, when breached,...
