1. Conversion of thyroxine into tri-iodothyronine and reverse tri-iodothyronine in intact cells was studied with isolated renal tubules prepared by collagenase digestion. 2. Conversion of thyroxine into tri-iodothyronine and reverse tri-iodothyronine increased progressively for at least 90 min. 3. Studies of tri-iodothyronine production from increasing amounts of thyroxine revealed that the thy...

Due to the great possibility of water contamination of many rivers by human activities in Iran, the study of water quality is crucial for water resource protection and human health. High level of phosphorous is the main reason for eutrophication of freshwater systems. The main aim of this study was to investigate the concentration of phosphorus in the rivers feeding into Taham dam in Zanjan, us...

Five treatments including Conway medium, media containing 0.1, 0.17, 0.3 and 0.5 mg l-1 ferrous (Fe; in the first experiment), media with 1, 1.26, 1.59, 2 mg l-1 concentrations of phosphorous (P; in the second experiment) and a pure sample of Tetraselmis suecica were cultured under laboratory conditions. Growth rate of the algae was determined using the optical density method at 750 nm and numb...

ASBTRACT Introduction: The interest in developing a prosthetic heart tri-laeflet valve is based on the durability of mechanical prosthesis; the good hemodynamic performance of bio-prosthesis due to the central flow, its perfect closure, the negligible thrombogenic index, and the negligible perception of its presence by the user. Objectives: Develop a mathematical model of a fourth generation pr...

The influence of changes in the contracted Gaussian basis set used for ab initio calculations of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) phosphorous chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) tensors was investigated. The isotropic chemical shift and chemical shift anisotropy were found to converge with increasing complexity of the basis set at the Hartree-Fock (HF) level. The addition of d polarization function...

ABSTRACT- To investigate the effects of bio-chemical and organic fertilizers on yield and seeds NPK contents of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca), an experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Kurdistan University in 2009 growing season. Treatments were included 1) control, 2) seeds inoculated with free-living N fixing bacteria (NFB), 3) seeds inoculated with phosphate-solubilizing b...
