the purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of propolis on biochemical and microbiological parameters in muscle tissues of carp (cyprinus carpio, linnaeus 1758) exposed to arsenic. a sublethal concentration of arsenic (0.01 ppm) and/or 0.01 ppm propolis were administered to fish for seven days. biochemical parameters [ph, lactic acid, total volatile basic nitrogen (tvb-...

A biochemical dynamic pathway is usually modeled as a nonlinear system described by a set of nonlinear ODEs. In most cases, only partial states can be measured. Moreover, the system parameters, reaction rates, may be unknown or poorly known. Therefore, it is of significance to estimate the states and parameters, for analyzing the biochemical dynamic pathway. Due to the limitation of some tradit...

Vision begins when photons are captured by rhodopsin molecules in photoreceptor cells in the back of the retina. Activation of rhodopsin instigates a cascade of biochemical reactions, which eventually results in reduction of the steady (dark) current across the photoreceptor plasma membrane. This is the photoreceptor response, the signal that propagates to the brain enabling vision. Employing a...

NABAVI, SEYEDBEHZAD. Kinetic Parameter Estimation in Oscillatory Biochemical Systems. (Under the direction of Cranos M. Williams.) Oscillatory pathways are among the most important classes of biochemical systems with examples such as circadian rhythms and cell cycles. Mathematical modeling of these highly interconnected biochemical networks is needed to meet numerous objectives such as investig...
