Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) and consomic, salt-resistant SS-13(BN) rats possess substantial differences in blood pressure salt-sensitivity even with highly similar genetic backgrounds. The present study examined whether increased oxidative stress, particularly H2O2, in the renal medulla of SS rats contributes to these differences. Blood pressure was measured using femoral arterial catheters in thr...

vetiver grass (vetiveria zizanioides) is known to be survived under the diversesoil and water conditions. in order to study the effects of salinity stress on the seedlinggrowth of the desired species, a completely randomized design was conducted with 3replications. seeds were sown in the salty-soil plots in the greenhouse. salinity levels werespecified as 4 control ones including 20, 30 and 40 ...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of serious nosocomial infections, and recurrent MRSA infections primarily result from the survival of persister cells after antibiotic treatment. Gas plasma, a novel source of ROS (reactive oxygen species) and RNS (reactive nitrogen species) generation, not only inactivates pathogenic microbes but also restore the sensitivity o...

The protein adsorption and both its conformational arrangements electrochemical interactions on the surface of metallic biomaterials has an immense impact corrosion/biodegradation biocompatibility implantable metals. In this study, we used scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM) to reveal synergistic effect various bovine serum albumin (BSA) concentrations overpotential conditions BSA me...

Abstract Corrosion initiation and propagation are a time-series problem, evolving continuously with corrosion time, future pitting behavior depends closely on the past. Predicting localized for corrosion-resistant alloys remains great challenge, as macroscopic experiments microscopic theoretical simulations cannot couple internal external factors to describe evolution from time dimension. In th...

Multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is known to be a problematic bacterium for being major cause of opportunistic and nosocomial infections. In this study, reduced graphene oxide decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/rGO) was utilized as new sensing material fast direct electrochemical detection pyocyanin biomarker P. Under optimal condition, the developed sensor exhib...

For sustainable agricultural production, besides drought, plant resistance to irrigation water and soil salinity should be investigated. Researchers mostly focused on drought of common species (wheat, barley, maize etc.). However, number studies chickpea with various uses is quite limited. In present study, 11 varieties were subjected germination tests under different electrical conductivity (E...

soil moisture retention curve is one of the soil hydraulic prosperities which its direct measurement is time consuming and expensive. therefore, indirect methods such as developing pedotransfer functions have been used to predict this characteristic from soil readily available or easily measurable data. in this study, multiple linear regression method was used to develop point pedotransfer func...
