eight genotypes of spring safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) were evaluated for several physiological traits under stress and non-stress water regimes. data were analyzed using principal factor analysis. the factor analysis technique extracted six factors under non-stress conditions. six factors explained about 80% of the total variation, and only 40% of the variance was accounted for by the f...

the performance of olive stone activated carbon (osac) for sorption of cu2+, zn2+ and ni2+ ions was investigated via batch technique. osac materials were prepared under different physially activation conditions. olive stone waste was physically activated with n2 gas and steam gas at 900oc at 3.5h hold time (osac-3) was choice as the best one for cu2+, zn2+ and ni2+ removal. characterization for...

Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) is a clinical scenario that leads to obstructive nephropathy. UUO alters the expression of many mediators in the ipsilateral kidney. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in UUO. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) as the main arms of RAS influence kidney function which may alter by UUO. Ang II via Ang II receptor subtypes I (AT1R) ...

A novel, simple, sensitive and effective method has been developed for preconcentration of Hg(II) on nano-Fe3O4-DOP-ED solid-phase extraction adsorbent. In this paper, Dioctyl phthalate (DOP) was used to encapsulate nano-Fe3O4 and produce a nano-Fe3O4-DOP sorbent based new sorbent was prepared. This was treated with ethylenediamine (ED) in another solvent-free procedure for the formation of a n...

4(4-nitrophenyl-zao)-2-(2-methoxy phenimino)-phenol and its coordination compounds with ni(ii), cu(ii), co(ii) and fe(iii) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, ft-ir, far-ir, near ir, uv-vis, mass spectrometry and molar conductivity and their electrochemical behaviours are reported.

Background This research investigated the response of vascular active factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiotensin-II (AT-II) to ovarian stimulation during 24 hours in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). MaterialsAndMethods In this clinical trial study, 52 patients with PCOS and 8 control cases were stimulated with human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) on the 4th ...
