objective(s): binary hybrids of chitosan-zeolite have many interesting applications in separation and bacteriostatic activity. materials and methods: template free zsm-5 zeolite was synthesized by hydrothermal method, physical hydrogels of nano chitosan in the colloidal domain were obtained in the absence of toxic organic solvent and then nano chitosan/zsm-5 hybrid composites with nano chitosan...

it is widely thought that bcl-2 family proteins regulate commitment to apoptosis primarily through their capacity to control the permeability of the mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (momp) triggers the release of multiple apoptogenic factors into the cytosol and, thereby apoptosis. various bcl-2 family members affect this key event of the apoptotic cascade in different ways, determ...

background and aims:in neurodegenerative disorders,oxidative stress mediated by reactive oxygen species is strongly associated with increased neuronal damages which can lead to apoptosis. pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic gene expressions are changed during the cell differentiation that affect cell viability and differentiation. therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effects of hyd...

Chlorpyrifos (see Figure 1) is the most widely used insecticide in the United States, both in crop production and in nonagricultural applications.1 Its nonagricultural use in the United States is estimated at between 9 and 12 million pounds per year.1 Agricultural use estimates vary: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that between 10 and 15 million pounds are used annually...

This paper analyzes a certain class of combinatorial board games that includes Ayo, Tchoukaillon and Modular N–queen. We refine the existing results by providing simple and intuitive proofs using abstract combinatorics, and also reveal some interesting game positions.

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: from the thousands of years, metal compounds have been used in medicine for treatment of various diseases including various types of cancers. ruthenium was seen as a promising metal due to its similar kinetics to platinum and its lower toxicity. therefore, we aimed to evaluate the newer mononuclear ruthenium (ii) compounds for antinocice...

results escherichia coli phytase was expressed in p. pastoris under different cultivation conditions (post-induction temperature, methanol concentration, and post-induction ph). the optimized conditions by rsm using face centered central composite design were 1% (v/v) methanol, ph = 5.8, and 24.5°c. under the optimized conditions, appa was successfully expressed in p. pastoris and the maximum p...

the copper(ii) complex [cu(pic)2]·2h2o was synthesized with 2-picolinic acid (hpic) and copper acetate as reactants by room temperature solid-solid reaction. the composition and structure of the complex was characterized by elemental analyses, single crystal x-ray diffraction, x-ray powder diffraction, ft-ir spectroscopy and thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry. the crystal struct...

conclusions in this study, the l-lps immune response of bovine cells was significant, indicating that tlr2 is the predominant receptor for l-lps. due to l-lps endotoxin-like activity, we found a strategy through using bmap-28 to prevent l-lps-induced tlr2-dependent immune activation in bovine cells. materials and methods in this study, l-lps-induced proinflammatory cytokine production in bovine...

two simple visible spectrophotometric methods are developed and validated for the quantification of modafinil using 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulphonic acid (nqs method) and 2,4-dinitrophenol (dnp method) as analytical reagents. the nqs method involves the reaction of modafinil with 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulphonate in alkaline medium at room conditions to form a yellow colored product exhibiting maxi...
