background: the approaches chosen for control of outbreaks of infectious diseases in aquatic farming industry include improvement of environmental conditions, stocking of specific pathogen free (spf) brood stockings, and application of vaccines and immunostimulants. despite numerous studies on the effects of ergosan on immune system of aquatic animals, there is no data available on antioxidant ...

introduction: post-endodontic treatment pain is a relatively common condition which needs analgesics for patient’s pain relief. low-level laser therapy (lllt) is suggested as a non-pharmacological and non-invasive treatment for dealing with painful conditions. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the pain relief effect of lllt after endodontic treatment. methods: eighty patients randomly r...

maximum power point tracking controller is essential to obtain the maximum power from a solar array in the photovoltaic systems as the pv power module varies with the temperature and solar irradiation. in this paper, several methods for the mppt of the pv systems are discussed and it can to be used as a helpful reference for the upcoming mppt user in the pv applications.

the aim of this study was to assess the surface of yttrium-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (y-tzp) after surface treatment with lasers and airborne-particle abrasion.first, 77 samples of presintered zirconia blocks measuring 10 × 10 × 2 mm were made, sintered and polished. then, they were randomly divided into 11 groups (n=7) and received surface treatments namely, er:yag laser irradiation with ...

the key role of chemokine receptor cxcr4 in the maintenance of stemness property of stem cells has been shown recently. the low level laser irradiation (llli) is being used currently in a wide variety of clinical cases as a therapeutic tool for wound healing, relieving pain and destroying tumor cells. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of llli mimicking low level laser therapy (ll...

hyssopus of­ficinalis l. is one of the most important medicinal plants. medicinal herbs are contaminated by microorganisms. conventional methods for reducing of microbial loads such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and also use of steam are hazardous and instead, non-thermal process such as microwave and gamma radiation are being used widely in order to eliminate the microbial contaminations ...

consideration of the current-voltage (i-v) characteristics variations of solar modules with temperature and irradiations variations is basic for maximum power point tracking (mppt). having a simple and accurate mathematical model for the optimize utilization of the solar modules is essential. in this paper, a novel modeling of photovoltaic systems with novel coefficients is proposed for mathema...

introduction : heat shock proteins (hsps) are molecular chaperones involved in protein folding, stability and turnover, and due to their role in cancer progression, the effect of low power laser irradiation (lpli) on the expression of hsp70 and hsp90 in jurkat e6.1 t-lymphocyte leukemia (jelt) cell line was investigated in vitro. methods : jetl cells were irradiated with lpli at 635nm and 780m ...

The silk yarn containing Ag nanoparticles was prepared through the chemical reduction under ultrasound irradiation. In this system, ethylene glycol served as a reduction reagent and protecting silver nanoparticles from aggregation. The effect of some parameter, such as power of ultrasound irradiation and temperature in growth of the nanometric Ag were studied. Particle sizes and morphology of n...
