in order to investigate the effects of municipal waste compost and benefit fungi of trichoderma species on seedling emergence parameters, growth and some micronutrients uptake of garden cress a pot experiment was carried out in factorial arrangement based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications. treatments consisted of three levels of municipal waste compost (15, 30, 45 mg ha-1 ...

introduction: obesity and visceral fat accumulation after menopause are associated with insulin resistance and cardiovascular diseases. we investigated the interactive effect of aerobic-resistance training and estrogen replacement therapy on visceral fat, omentin-1 and homa-ir in ovariectomized rats. materials and methods: fifty female wistar rats were ovariectomized (ovx) and divided into 5 gr...

introduction: 3-4, methylenedioxymethamphetamine (mdma) causes apoptosis in nervous system and several studies suggest that oxidative stress contributes to mdma-induced neurotoxicity. the aim of this study is to examine the effects of n-acetyl-l-cystein (nac) as an antioxidant on mdma-induced apoptosis. methods: 21 sprague dawley male rats (200-250mg) were treated with mdma (2×0,5mg/kg) or mdma...

background: introducing rctm (research-centered teaching method) by the author, showed the method provokes enthusiasm and anxiety, correlated with cognition . by linking the broaden-and-build theory and emotional intelligence theory, it becomes apparent that the knowledge and use of positive emotions constitute an important skill set for effective functioning. purpose: to investigate the effect...

karyotypes of eleven iranian populations of trigonella foenum-graceum were investigated. somatic chromosome numbers of examined populations were determined as 2n = 14. chromosomal parameters were examined as follows: long arm length (tl), short arm, total chromosome length, arm ratio, r-value, form percentage of chromosome, total form percentage of karyotype. chromosomes were mostly metacentric...

polyacrylonitril (pan)-supported chitosan (cs) nanocomposite membranes were prepared by cross-linking the cs with 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (apteos) via sol-gel method. pervaporative performances of the cs-sio2/pan membrane for dehydration of aqueous alcohol solutions were investigated. from sem cross-sectional images of the membrane, the spongy pores and the finger-like pores were found in...

experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of l-glutamine on coated sperm freezing by using four rams. semen was collected by artificial vagina contact with a tube containing tris-fructose-egg yolk 15%. samples were pooled and centrifuged. after removing supernatant and diluting pellet, samples were split into 5 equal part and added 0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 mm l-glutamine. samples were froze...

al-mcm-41 nanoreactors is found to be a remarkable efficient catalyst for one-pot multicomponent cyclocondensation of benzil, aniline or ammonium acetate and aromatic aldehydes for the synthesis of polysubstituted imidazoles under solvent-free conditions. the reaction was efficiently promoted by 10 mg nano-al-mcm-41 and the heterogeneous catalyst was recycled for four runs in this reaction with...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: steroids are commonly used in the treatment of cervical radiculopathy (cr), but there is limited information in this regard. we evaluated the efficacy of oral prednisone in the treatment of cr. materials and methods: this randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was conducted on adult patients with neck/shoulder pain for at l...
