background: umbilical cord tissue is a very rich source of mesenchymal stem cells. instead of discarding this source we are banking the tissue along with cord blood for possible future cell based applications. the cord tissue needs to be transported and stored properly in order for it to be good enough for cell isolation at a later date. in this paper we have carried out a validation study to d...

background:  the residual effect of triflumuron and pyriproxyfen on musca domestica l larval stages was studied in the laboratory. methods : both igrs at varying concentrations ranging between 0.5 to 2.5 mg/l were placed inside beakers with mice chow and vitamin b complex and water as food for the 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd instars m.domestica larvae. results: both igrs inhibit m. domestica adult eme...

conclusions the findings of this study indicate that the frequency of disfluencies was increased in difficult syllable structures in comparison to simple syllable structures. according to the results, it seems that certain linguistic features, such as syllable structure can affect speech-motor output in people who stutter through affecting phonological encoding. background stuttering is one of ...

no doubt, damage and losses inflicted by callosobruchus maculatus to stored products in general and chickpea in particular can be significant. the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the verbascum sinuatum powder on c. maculatus oviposition behavior in chickpea under laboratory conditions (30 °c, 60% relative humidity). powder of mullein plant (v. sinuatum) caused reduction in ...

conclusions the pattern and number of vessels involved were similar in both groups. based on common prevalence of traditional risk factors among two groups, planning for lifestyle changes is recommended. results of the 112 patients, 51 (45.5%) were in group a and 61 (54.5%) were in group b with mean age of 37.6 ± 4.4 and 63 ± 8.5, respectively. no significant statistical differences were found ...

background: primary cultures of embryonic neurons have been used to introduce a model of neurons in physiological and pathological conditions. however, age-related cellular events limit this method as an optimal model in adult neurodegenerative diseases studies. besides, short-interval changing media in previous cultures decreases the effectiveness of this model. as an example of this matter, w...
