background: cucumber mosaic virus (cmv) from the bromoviridae family, is one of the most widespread plant viruses in the world. objectives: in the present study tomato fields in guilan, isfahan, khorasan razavi, khuzestan and tehran provinces were surveyed to determine the presence of cmv subgroups during 2011-2012. materials and methods: out of 305 symptomatic leaf samples tested by enzyme-lin...

Objective(s): Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) causes pulmonary toxicity. Infliximab (Ib) is a potent inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). We aimed to investigate whether Ib has a protective effect on CCl4 induced lung injury. Materials and Methods:Rats were divided into control, CCl4, and CCl4+Ib groups. A single dose of 2 ml/kg CCI4 was administered to CCI4 group and a single dose of...

The rapid development of Internet and electronic businesses have stimulated the banking sector towards encouraging customers to internet banking (IB), However, the evidence indicates a lack of interest in the use of IB services. Therefore, this paper aims to identify affecting factors on customer adoption from IB and measure the influence of each factor on IB adoption. Based on an explorative l...

Background and objectives:Gamma-irradiation is used vastly for both decontamination and sterilization of natural products; but these high-energy rays can affect heat-sensitive essential oils. Methods: The oleo-gum-resin of Boswellia carterii (Burseraceae) was sterilized by γ-irradiation at dose 30 KGy. The essential oils obtained...

2-Arylpropionic acid (2-APA) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly used in racemic mixtures (rac) for clinical use. 2-APA undergoes unidirectional chiral inversion of the in vivo inactive R-enantiomer to the active S-enantiomer. Inflammation causes the reduction of metabolic activities of drug-metabolizing enzymes such as cytochrome P450 (P450) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase. Howev...

In the present study, 360 male day-old broiler chicks were used to determine the effect of mixed livevaccines of Newcastle disease (ND) and infectious bronchitis (IB) on serum and local antibody responses toIB. Chicks were randomly divided into 12 treatment groups of 3 replicates and reared for 40 days on floorpens. Groups 1 to 5 received mixed ND and IB vaccine. Groups 7 to 11 received IB vacc...

objective: comparing the effect of repeated opening of the container lid of two dentin adhesive systems, prime&bond; nt (p&b; nt) and ibond (ib), on shear bond strength. materials and methods: intact bovine lower incisors (n=60), fixed in acrylic were ran-domly divided into six groups (n=10). groups i and ii were set as control groups. p&b; nt and ib were applied on the samples after five days ...
