Abstract Nowadays, as accepted as the era of information or digital, time has changed and has invited all people to a new world in which everybody must define himself. Avoiding from getting benefit from this human progress is useless; Rather, we must know this great technology best and adapt ourselves with its consequences. In fact, in many countries and among many nations there had been peopl...

gmelinoides fasciatus (stebbing, 1899) is a baikal endemic amphipod that has recently become widespread in eurasia. this species accidentally entered the cooling reservoir of the belovo power plant and became successfully naturalised there. this study describes the peculiarities of g. fasciatus distribution in reservoir sites with different thermal regimes and analyses the environmental factors...

there is still been no report of splenic involvement in the wake of colon cancer. in this case, air was seen in the spleen and liver following the penetration of colon cancer to the continuous spleen. colon cancers always do not present with clear and common symptoms. some times with a non-specific and uncommon symptoms and signs present that would be amazed physicians and researchers. it is ve...

fluid invasion from water-based drilling mud (wbdm) into the shale formations causes swelling,high pressure zone near the wellbore wall, and eventually wellbore instability problems duringdrilling operations. for the stability of the wellbore, physical plugging of nanoscale pore throats couldbe considered as a logical approach toward avoiding the fluid invasion into the shale formation. thispap...

The invasion of Spartina alterniflora significantly affected the local ecosystem of Western Pacific Ocean where Moerella iridescens lives. Five patches with different invasion stages of S. alterniflora were selected and the influence on distribution of M. iridescens was studied on the coast of Wenzhou Bay, China in 2007. The aggregated distribution pattern was proved by using Taylor&#39s power ...

the ability of subminimum inhibitory concentrations (sub-mics) of antibiotics to affect the virulence factors of bacteria may be an important criterion in selecting an antibiotic for therapy. proteus mirabilis is one of the most frequently seen pathogens in urinary tract infections. the aim of this study was to analyze the effects of some antibiotics on two important virulence factors of p. mir...

conclusions the proliferation and invasion of human bladder cancer cells can be inhibited by rnai-targeting skp2. as a result, skp2 may be a potential target for gene therapy in cases of human bladder cancer. materials and methods the expression of the skp2 gene was knocked down by rna interference (rnai) in t24 cells. the transcription level of skp2 was detected by reverse transcription-quanti...

the introduction of acacia saligna in the north nile delta of egypt is causing harmful impacts on the plant diversity. thirty stands were established in both invaded and non-invaded areas. the species abundance and diversity were determined. soil samples were collected and analyzed. the correlation between vegetation and soil variables was investigated. the allelopathic potential of water and m...

Probiotic microorganisms have attracted a growing interest for prevention and therapy of gastrointestinal disorders. Many probiotic strains have been shown to inhibit growth and metabolic activity of enteropathogenic bacteria as well as their adhesion and invasion to intestinal cells. In the present study, we evaluated the interference of bacteria-free supernatants (BFS) of cultures belonging t...
