Background & objectives: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers have many applications in the food industry. Although there are numerous advantages for PET it also has some disadvantages, one of which is the migration of materials from the container into the material inside. In this study, the effect of two factors of storage time and temperature on the migration rate was evaluated and mod...

abstractagriculture is considered as one of the important sectors of economic. that in the production of food and industrial crops may play an important role in economic development. in this regard human resource is very important. so that quantitative and qualitative changes in the human resources can lead to major changes in agricultural production and it influences completely agricultural pr...

Objective(s): To investigate the role of autophagy in advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-induced proliferation and migration in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).Materials and Methods: After culture, VSMCs were treated with 0, 1, 10, and 100 μg/ml concentrations of AGEs. Autophagy specific protein light chain 3 (LC3)-I/II was determined by western blotting, autophagosomes were observ...

Oils extracted from plants have been used since ancient times and in many cultures .frying oils are used in many countries all around the world including Iran. Therefore it is of great importance to ensure the safety of these food products which are usually delivered in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. This study has investigated the effect of storage time and temperature on the migrat...

The growth of a population divided among spatial sites, with migration between the sites, is sometimes modelled by a product of random matrices, with each diagonal elements representing the growth rate in a given time period, and off-diagonal elements the migration rate. If the sites are reinterpreted as age classes, the same model may apply to a single population with age-dependent mortality a...

tea might be considered as the most popular drink in iran as well as some other parts of theworld. its popularity to some extent depends on its flavor and some other constituents present in its leaves orextract. black tea samples from various agro climatic zones of northeast of iran were evaluated for the chemicalconstituents, polyphenols and metal analysis that determine the quality perception...

objective(s): in order to grow cells in a three-dimensional (3d) microenvironment, self-assembling peptides, such as puramatrix, have emerged with potential to mimic the extracellular matrix. the aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of the self-assembling peptide on the morphology, survival, proliferation rate, migration potential, and differentiation of human meningioma st...
