in order to study water deficit tolerance in thymus daenensis subsp. daenensis ecotypes, seeds of eight ecotypes were collected from different locations. seedling are produced in greenhouse, and then transferred to field as an experiment of split plot design based on rcbd with three replicates. three irrigation treatments (normal irrigation, prevention of irrigation at the start of flowering an...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Mirror-like intracranial aneurysms (MirAn) occur symmetrically at the corresponding intracranial arteries and are a subgroup of multiple intracranial aneurysms. The aim of this study was to analyze the risk factors, treatment, and prognosis of MirAn. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 43 cases of MirAn diagnosed between January 2000 and December 2009. The control gro...

Bala is important medicinal plant of Ayurvedic system of medicine. Previous works have reported presence of ephedrine in Bala although it has not been reported in other varieties of Bala. Extracts of Sida cordifolia standardized to ephedrine are available in the Indian as well as international market. In western world ephedrine once upon a time was widely used for weight loss but recently it ha...

Modern virtual environments can contain a variety of characters and traversable regions. Each character may have different preferences for the traversable region types. Pedestrians may prefer to walk on sidewalks, but they may occasionally need to traverse roads and dirt paths. By contrast, wild animals might try to stay in forest areas, but they are able to leave their protective environment w...

Experimental beta-alaninuria was induced in rats by injection of (aminooxy)acetate (AOA), a potent inhibitor of aminotransferases, in order to elucidate the pathogenesis of hyper-beta-alaninemia. A 27-fold increase of beta-alanine (BALA) excretion was induced by subcutaneous injection of 1 5 mg of AOA per kg of body weight. A 13-fold and a 9-fold increase of beta-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) an...

Preparation of matrix tablets with rate controlling polymers is the simplest and most widely used method for achieving desired controlled release rate of drugs. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of concentration and particle size of Ethocel Premium 100P and 100FP and also the co-excipients like HPMC, starch and CMC on the release kinetics of Tramadol HCl from matrix ...

Site-directed mutagenesis was used to investigate the restrictions on Ala-79 of the b subunit in F1F0 adenosine triphosphate synthase. This amino acid had been previously identified as particularly sensitive to mutation (McCormick, K. A., and Cain, B. D. (1991) J. Bacteriol. 173, 7240-7248). Mutant uncF (b) genes were placed under control of the lac promoter and monitored for F1F0 ATP synthase ...
