Characterization of isolated pigeon paramyxovirus-1 (PMV-1) and its pathogenicity in broiler chickens were studied. Two hundred and thirty-two samples collected from 50 unvaccinated pigeons lofts suspected to Newcastle disease from private houses and bird markets from Ahvaz, Iran. Swab samples from cloaca and oropharynx of live pigeons and from trachea, lung, liver, spleen, kidney, brain, prove...

Background: Nandrolone decanoate (ND) is an anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) which influences the ovarian structure and function. We assessed the effects of ND on the ovarian volume, number of primordial follicles, and level of hormones and also evaluated the modulatory effects of gonadotropins on the histopathological changes imposed by the administration of ND. Methods: Six groups of Sprague...

An Nd doped ZnO (1-5%) photocatalyst was successfully synthesized via chemical co-precipitation method. The optical property, nature, and morphology of the synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed by UV-Visible, XRD, and FESEM respectively. XRD study reveals that Nd has been effectively incorporated in the ZnO lattice in the lower level dosage; however, the crystalline nature has been distor...

The water blocking damage to the reservoir caused by invasion of external fluid is one main factors that affect efficient development tight sandstone gas reservoirs. In this paper, microfluidic chip technology used explore causes in porous media and find suitable recovery solutions. research results show reducing gas-liquid capillary pressure can effectively reduce rate quantity spontaneous spe...

Depth filtration is an attractive method for initial clarification of broth removing cells and cell debris. Electrospun nanofibers with their large specific surface area a porous structure are known as materials in processes. However, dead-end through nanofiber mats (NFM) always leads to cake formation increasing resistance. In this study, the first time, sponge (NFS) or aerogel was synthetized...
