lithium is a immunomodulator that can increase immunoglobulins to confront infectious desese. it is also able to increase the production of interleukins, interferon gamma and prostaglandins. we conducted this study to evaluate the correlation between lithium consumption and humoral immunity. blood samples were obtained from 76 patients under lithium treatment. we classified the patients accordi...

in order to evaluate the effects of organic fertilizer complements application (aminol forte, fosnutren and kadostim) on grain yield, milling properties and nitrogen use efficiency of two rice (oryza sativa l.) cultivars, a field experiment in factorial layout and a randomized complete block design with 10 treatments and 3 replications was conducted at rice research institute of iran in 2009. t...

objective despite numerous reports on the effects of meal frequency on biochemical parameters such as plasma lipid profile, glucose and insulin, there is almost no study to investigate the influence of meal frequency on immune system. in the present article, for the first time, the effect of meal frequency on complement components c3 and c4, as key components of the complement system, has been ...

This paper revises the interdependence between flexible technology and product innovation in the context of a monopolistic firm. Previous literature argued that flexible machinery reduces the cost of incremental innovation. To take interactions beyond the fixed cost into account, we introduce a 2-period optimization model where technology, innovation and price are chosen first, then stochastic ...

The papers [5], [12], [3], [1], [6], [2], [10], [9], [4], [11], and [7] provide the notation and terminology for this paper. We introduce BCI stuctures with complements which are extensions of BCI structure with 0 and zero structure and are systems 〈 a carrier, an external complement, an internal complement, a zero 〉, where the carrier is a set, the external complement and the internal compleme...
