in this research, the bioinsising impact of two wood decay fungi (pysisporinus vitreus and xylaria longipes) on radial air permeability and moisture diffusion coefficient of spruce wood (picea abies) was investigated. fungal cultivation was performed in an incubator at 25 °c and 85% relative humidity for 15, 30 and 45 days. results showed that the permeability, moisture diffusion and mass loss ...

TMPyP4 is widely considered as a potential photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy and a G-quadruplex stabilizer for telomerase-based cancer therapeutics. However, its biological effects including a possible adverse-effect are poorly understood. In this study, whole genome RNA-seq analysis was used to explore the alteration in gene expression induced by TMPyP4. Unexpectedly, we find that 27.67%...

objective in traditional medicine, echium spp., including e. vulgare l., are utilized as exhilarant and mood stimulant. on the other hand, depression is a state of intense sadness, melancholia or despair that has advanced to the point of being disruptive to an individual's social functioning and/or activities of daily living. therefore, finding effective and safe treatments is a hotly cont...

Abstract: This work was designed to investigate the simultaneous effect of both water-to-cement (W/C) and polymer-to-cement(P/C) ratios on flexural strength of type V Portland cement pastes containing polyvinyl alcohol. The obtained resultsconfirmed the strong effect of W/C-ratio on the effectiveness of the added polymer so that there exist optimum valuesfor both W/C and P/C-ratios. Pastes prep...

The present paper generalizes the analysis [18, 2] of the correlations for a lattice system of real-valued spins at low temperature. The Gibbs measure is assumed to be generated by a fairly general pair potential (Hamiltonian function). The novelty, as compared to [18, 2], is that the single-site (self-) energies of the spins are not required to have only a single local minimum and no other ext...
