An Nd doped ZnO (1-5%) photocatalyst was successfully synthesized via chemical co-precipitation method. The optical property, nature, and morphology of the synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed by UV-Visible, XRD, and FESEM respectively. XRD study reveals that Nd has been effectively incorporated in the ZnO lattice in the lower level dosage; however, the crystalline nature has been distor...

The immunologie efficacy of inactivated oil-emulsion vaccines against Newcastle disease (ND) and avian influenza (AI) by use of embryo vaccination technology was evaluated. The vaccine antigens were prepared from LaSota strain of ND and H9N2 strain of AI viruses. These antigens were emulsified with an oil adjuvant. 18-day-old embryonated eggs from Aryan broiler breeder were divided into three g...

OBJECTIVE To examine the evolution of the dysregulated glucagon responses to mixed-meal tolerance tests (MMTTs) in youth with recent-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS MMTTs were performed in 25 youth (9-18 years of age) with 1.5-12 months disease duration (year 1); 22 subjects were restudied 1 year later (year 2). Twenty nondiabetic (ND) control children were also studi...

background: most studies on anabolic-androgenic steroids abuse have been done in adult rats, but few data are available to immature. objective: this study was conducted to assay the effect of nandrolone decanoate (nd) on the testis and testosterone concentration in male immature rats compare with mature ones in short and long time. materials and methods: 40 mature rats were divided into 4 group...

Maize is one of the most productive crops whose seeds are used in poultry sector as main ingredients their diet. It also important forage for ruminants silage. The aim this research was to assess effect defoliation and detopping on dual-purpose maize production field (Kermanshah, Iran, Mediterranean climate conditions) laboratory experiments. study included a control (intact plant), removal lea...

Although testosterone administration elicits well-documented anabolic effects on skeletal muscle mass, the enhancement of muscle regeneration after injury has not been widely examined. The purpose of this study was to determine whether anabolic steroid administration improves skeletal muscle regeneration from bupivacaine-induced injury. Male C57BL/6 mice were castrated 2 wk before muscle injury...

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...

The short term effect of 11.4 mum indoleacetic acid on the incorporation of (methyl-(3)H)thymidine into DNA in vegetative tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Wis. 38) stem segments has been investigated. In segments that are defoliated, inverted, and kept in the dark for 7 hours, indoleacetic acid very rapidly (about 60 minutes) and strikingly initiates thymidine incorporation into DNA. The time req...
