Recent investigations have shown that plants have antioxidant properties and could decrease oxidative stress in different human diseases. The present work was identified the chemical composition compounds and evaluated the various antoxidative activities of Ferula-assa-foetida leaves hydroalcoholic extract (FLHE) and Ferula-assa-foetida leaves essential oil ...

A convergence analysis of the blind adaptive step-size constant modulus algorithm (AS-CMA) for direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) receivers is presented. Analytical results show similar convergence behaviours of the AS-CMA receiver and the adaptive step-size stochastic approximation (ASSA) receiver. Simulations show that the blind AS-CMA algorithm performs comparably with t...

background and objectives: ferula assa-foetida (asafoetida) is a native iranian species which grows in different regions and climates in iran. the plant is well known in iranian traditional medicine as well as folk medicine for treatment of diseases. several studies have been carried out on the essential oil of this species collected from different areas of iran. this study is the first report ...

The presence of antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) has a different implication than with anti-HBs. Anti-HBc antibodies do not distinguish between active or previous infection, nor to they indicate immunity. All hepatitis B carriers and all patients who have previously been exposed to hepatitis B will be positive for total anti-HBc. Chronic hepatitis B carriers have circulating an...

An earlier draft of this paper was presented at theAFEE/ASSA “Panel, Policy Implications of the Great Recession” in Chicago in January, 2012 and at Trinity College in Dublin in April, 2012. I am grateful for the comments of the discussant former Brazilian finance minister Louis Carlos Bresser Pereira, members of the audience and fellow panelists Robert Wade, Nina Shapiro, Malcolm Sawyer, and Wi...

The staggered magnetization of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet in two dimensions can be systematically approximated by a 1/N expansion. Cancellation between self energy diagrams leads to a Luttingerlike theorem for the ground state. We prove (for a smooth enough self energy) that the long range order of mean field theory (N=∞) survives corrections to all orders of 1/N . Divergences of this serie...
