abstract bottom intake is one of the most appropriate systems for diverting discharge in steep rivers. bottom intake with porous media is a new system of diverting discharge which can be replaced by bottom rack intakes. to investigate the hydraulic flow characteristics on diverted discharge of this intake, an experimental model was designed in which the inflow, diverted discharge and remained f...

in the present study, electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was used to obtain dense and crack-free layers of Al2O3 on carbon substrate. Microstructural study of the obtained layers by scanning electron (SEM) and optical microscopy (OM) approved that crack-free layers can be obtained by EPD technique. According to obtained results, isopropanol is a suitable media to obtian compact layers which is at...

Background: In-situ preservation of cauda epididymal spermatozoa at -10 degree centigrade with electrolyte free media for obtaining maximum functional gametes than preservation at 5 degree centigrade. Materials and Methods: Electrolyte free media prepared with soybean lecithin-glycerol, Coenzyme Q10 - glycerol and soybean lecithin - Coenzyme Q10- glycerol were inoculated separately into ligated...

Researchers add serum to a classical medium at concentrations of 5 to 10% (v/v) to grow cellsin-vitro culture media. Unfortunately, serum is a poorly defined culture medium componentas its composition can vary considerably while serum-free cell culture media are an excellentalternative to standard serum-containing media and offer several major advantages. Advantagesof us...

A fter losing the presidential elections in Iran in 2009, candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi and his supporters claimed electoral fraud and confronted the regime forces in bloody clashes. In January 2011, president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali (in office since 1987) fled Tunisia after massive demonstrations spread through the country. After that, a number of Arab countries experienced their own demonstra...

conclusions according to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that adipose derived mscs can be cultured in serum-free media with no change in their differentiating capacity. this finding gives us a hope for future cell therapy studies and trials with little concern about zoonotic infections or immunological reaction. results the isolated cells showed adherent spindle shaped mor...
