background: using human skin-fibroblast cell line hf2ff, the efficacy of some drugs was evaluated against sulfur mustard (sm) cytotoxicity. the drugs were the sulfhydryl containing molecule including n-acetylcysteine (nac), 2-oxo-thiazolidine-4-carboxylate (otc) and acetaminophen as glutathione (gsh) stimulator pathway. methods: the protective effects of nac (0.1 mm), otc (1.8 mm), and acetamin...

2014The positional order correlation length « 03BE~ » parallel to the smectic (Sm) layers in the G, F and C phases of HBHA (7O.6) has been measured by X-ray diffraction. In the Sm-G phase its value is limited by crystallite size and lies between 1200-1500 A. At the Sm-G to -F transition 03BE ~ changes from 300 to 180 A with a temperature dependence predicted by a dislocation mediated melting mo...

Agriculture in developing countries might benefit from advanced satellite based data mining approaches. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the added value of highabove coarseresolution satellite imagery in crop yield forecasting. This study focused on a coarse-resolution pixel in the Nile Delta in Egypt. Within this coarse-resolution pixel, 256 high-resolution (15 m) ASTER pixel...
