background: understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in cell/tumor growth and progression has led to molecular-targeted therapy. her1 and her2 are two main oncogenic components of her-receptor family considered as targets for cancer research and therapy. reliable results of her- related research and targeted therapies dependent upon cell line with known her expression status....

hybrid rice varieties are potentially higher yielding than the best inbred varieties and perform better under adverse conditions of drought and salinity. one of the major impediments for seed production of hybrid rice is incomplete panicle exsertion in the cytoplasmic male sterile lines. the unexserted spikelets which are left inside the flag leaf sheath remain unfertile. this research was focu...

activities of thirty bacterial strains obtained from plants rhizosphere in different areas against phytophthora drechsleri were assessed through in vitro and greenhouse experiments. dual culture and extracellular metabolites tests were used in in vitro assays. the bacterial strains inhibited growth of p. drechsleri, the highest inhibition zones was belonged to t17-4 strain with 61.904% in dual ...

investigation of drought event has a great importance in the natural resources management and planning water resources management. in this research, the effect of the climate change on drought characteristics in northwest of iran was investigated using the hadcm3 model under a2 scenario. the statistical downscaling was executed using sdsm 4.2.9 and observed daily precipitation, observed predict...

a simple, rapid and sensitive hplc method for the determination of theophylline (t) in human serum has been developed. an isocratic system consisting of a /-l bondapak c18 column, mobile phase of methanol, phosphate buffer (22:78, ph=4.5), and a flow rate of 1.4 ml/min was used. the eluent was detected by uv at 275 nm at room temperature. 8-chlorotheophylline (8-ct) was used as an internal stan...

objective(s): 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (mdma) one of the methamphetamine derivatives that affect the reproductive system, has not been well understood. many young people are consumers of drugs such as mdma that can affect their reproductive capability. apoptosis is the main mechanism for male infertility. pentoxifylline (ptx) increases camp intracellularly and reduces tumor necrosis f...

in this research, moisture sorptions of sayer date were determined at 20, 30, 40 and 60°c, using the standard static gravimetric method developed by the european cooperation project cost 90. several mathematical models, namely gab, bet, iglesias & chirif and halsey were employed to fit the experimental data through non-linear regression. results indicate that equilibrium moisture content increa...

in this study 50 samples of ecstasy tablets seized in iran during the period of 2007 through 2008 were examined and their physical characteristics (appearance, marking, scored/not scored, color, weight, diameter, thickness) were determined. in order to determine the chemical characteristics of these tablets, color tests (marquis test, simon’s test, chen’s test and gallic acid test), thin layer ...
