shirbot ( barbus grypus ) is one of the species in south and southwest of iran which is greatly favorable to residents of the region. unfavorable ecological conditions in habitat of this species and overfishing have led to the reduction of the population of shirbot. therefore, to restore the natural stock of this species, identifying its reproductive cycle associated with its habitat is of a gr...

the transcriptional factor oct4 regulates pluripotency of stem cells and has an important role during oocyte growth. whereas, its role has remained ambiguous in ovarian tissue during reproductive cycle. therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the expression patterns of oct4 in mouse ovaries during the normal estrous cycle. adult national medical research institute mice were classified as...

background: receptor for hyaluronic acid mediated motility (rhamm) has intracellular and extracellular functions. in this study, we focus on the expression of rhamm in the rat uterus during estrous cycle and implantation period. methods: the female adult rats were divided into six groups following estrous cycle determination (n=36). the utreri of rats were collected according to estrous cycle p...

human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) transactivator tat is a potent activator of both viral and cellu lar genes. tat has also been implicated in the development of aids-related malignancy. here, we show that tat physically and functionally is able to sequester the cell cycle check point protein p53. this sequestration results in non-functional promoter activity of cyclin-dependent kinase/cyclin i...

introduction: in female rats sensitivity to antinociceptive treatment varies during estrous cycle stages. the role of gaba through gabab receptor in nociception has been established. the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of intercerebroventicular injection of gabab receptor agonist (baclofen) and gabab antagonist (cgp35348) on pain sensitivity during different stages of estr...

abstract water deficit and consecutive droughts have lead to drought stress in most parts of the world recently. we need prepare a good program to use better available water. different material can be used to increase water use efficiency. super absorbent is one of the materials used around the world. these materials absorb water in the soil so that reserved water is usable by plant in the time...

a graph g = (v,e) with p vertices and q edges is said to be a total mean cordial graph if there exists a function f : v (g) → {0, 1, 2} such that f(xy) = [(f(x)+f(y))/2] where x, y ∈ v (g), xy ∈ e(g), and the total number of 0, 1 and 2 are balanced. that is |evf (i) − evf (j)| ≤ 1, i, j ∈ {0, 1, 2} where evf (x) denotes the total number of vertices and edges labeled with x (x = 0, 1, 2). in thi...

The energy crisis in recent years has led to the use of thermodynamic cycles that work based on renewable energies. Low-temperature cycles—such as organic cycles—are suitable strategies for the application of renewable energies. The present study proposes a novel cycle through the integration of a two-stage compression refrigeration cycle with a combined Rankine power and ejector refrigerat...

the purpose of this paper is multi-objective optimization of refrigeration cycle by optimization of all components of the cycle contains heat exchangers, air condenser, evaporator and super-heater. studied refrigeration cycle is compression refrigeration cycle of unit 132 third refineries in south pars that provide chilled water for cooling refinery equipment's. cycle will be performed by ...

This study presents a theoretical analysis of a new combined cooling, heating, and power cycle by the novel integration of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC), an ejector refrigeration cycle (ERC), and a heat pump cycle (HPC) for producing cooling output, heating output, and power output simultaneously. Three different working fluids—namely R113, isobutane, and R141b—have been used in power, ref...
