Three aromatic oligoamides have been prepared that have alternating 1,6-diaminopyridine and 1,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid units at the center of the sequence and two 8-amino-2-quinolinecarboxylic acid units at each extremity. The three oligomers differ in the number--3, 5, or 7-of pyridine units in the sequence. They were designed to adopt helically folded conformations in solution and in the s...

capsules from a range of pathogenic bacteria are the key determinants of virulency. the capsule hasbeen implicated in virulence of pasteurella multocida. in this study a type-specific polymerase chain reaction(pcr) assay was used for capsular typing of 39 avian p. multocida isolates from iran. the pcr amplified afragment of 1044 bp from all of tested isolates. it was found that all avian p. mul...

Evaporation of water from the skin is an important mechanism in thermal homeostasis. Resistance hygrometry, in which the water vapor pressure gradient above the skin surface is calculated, has been the measurement method of choice in the majority of pediatric investigations. However, resistance hygrometry is influenced by changes in ambient conditions such as relative humidity, surface temperat...

      Hard gelatin capsule filled with acetaminophen, osmotic agent (sorbitol), a release promoter (sodium dodecyl sulfate), coated with a semipermeable cellulose acetate membrane containing a hydrophobic plasticizer (castor oil) and sealed with white bees wax plug was designed. When placed in the sink water penetrates the membrane, dissolves the osmotic agent and increases the osmotic pressure...

quinazolinones are heterocyclic and water insoluble compounds with various pharmacological and biological characteristics (antibacterial, antiswelling, antifungal, parkinson and etc.). they are used for treatment hiv and cancer. this study investigated the effects of 4(3h) quinazlonones-2-ethyl-2-phenyl ethyl (qepe) as a new quinazolinons compounds on the spleen and immunocompetent cells of new...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of foliar micronutrients cu, mg and b on quantitative traits in two sesame crop year 1394 was performed farmer field. a split plot experiment in randomized complete block design with three replications. the main factor includes four operating cu sulfate solution, mg sulfate, b sulfate and control (water) and subplots consisted of two sesame (uniqu...

Capsule endoscopy is a promising technique for diagnosing diseases in the digestive system. Here we design and characterize a miniature swimming mechanism that uses the magnetic fields of the MRI for both propulsion and wireless powering of the capsule. Our method uses both the static and the radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields inherently available in MRI to generate a propulsive force. Our st...

for the investigation of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. Despite the reduced risk of complications, capsule retention is themost frequent complication, occurring in 1%–3% of cases [1]. A 64-year-old woman, obese and hypertensive, with indeterminate colitis in remission for several years, presented to the emergency department with hematochezia. She reported a history of recent surgery to vari...

Quantification of the permeability of connective tissue linings isolated from implanted capsules was achieved by two types of experiments. The objective of the first type was to determine the restriction offered by the lining to diffusion of 'I-labeled human serum albumin. The restricted diffusion coefficient of albumin with respect to the connective tissue lining the luminal capsule surface (i...

Respiration in fishes involves buccal pumping, which is characterized by the generation of nearly continuous water flow over the gills because of the rhythmic expansion/compression of the pharyngeal cavity. This mechanism is achieved by the functions of the vascular, skeletal, and muscular systems. However, the process by which the embryo establishes the mechanism remains a mystery. Morphologic...
