Contagious agalactiae (C.A.) is one of the most common disease affecting small ruminants which is caused by Mycoplasma agalactiae. This disease is particularly widespread around the world and Iran is one of the countries that C.A. is present. The aim of this study was isolation and identification of M. agalactiae (MG) with culture and PCR technique in milk samples in Kordestan province, Iran. A...

KI virus was detected in respiratory secretions of 8/367 (2.2%) symptomatic and 0/96 asymptomatic children (p = 0.215). WU virus was detected in 26/367 (7.1%) symptomatic and 6/96 (6.3%) asymptomatic children (p = 1.00). These human polyomaviruses may not independently cause respiratory tract disease in young children.

We discover two infrared objects that show deep absorption features of H2O, CO2, and CO ices in the AKARI/Infrared Camera (IRC) slit-less spectroscopic survey Galactic plane 2.5--13 micron. Both are located neither known star-forming regions nor dense clouds. For one objects, Object 1, we successfully extract a spectrum from 2.5 to 13 micron, which also shows several 5--13 including silicate at...

Vibration measurements of the linear accelerator structures in the SLC linac show a 1 micron rms vertical motion. This motion reduces to 0.2 micron rms motion when the cooling water to the accelerator structures is turned off. The quadrupoles have 250 nanometer rms vertical motion with the accelerator structure cooling water on and 60 nanometer motion with it off. These results together with me...

Aim: We optimized the process parameters of Melt Electrospinning Writing (MEW) to produce highly ordered structures composed of sub-micron filaments for Tissue Engineering (TE) purposes. [1] Methods: MEW has recently been introduced as a novel electrohydrodynamically assisted additive manufacturing (AM) process that allows a controlled deposition of electrically non-conductive fibers of particu...

Cellular transformation is initiated by the activation of oncogenes and a closely associated developmental reprogramming of the epigenetic landscape. Transcription factors, regulators of chromatin states and microRNAs influence cell fates in development and stabilize the phenotypes of normal, differentiated cells and of cancer cells. The miR-302/367 cluster, predominantly expressed in human emb...

Paclitaxel is a mainstay of treatment for many solid tumors, and frequently, clinical outcome is influenced by paclitaxel sensitivity. Despite this, our understanding of the molecular basis of paclitaxel response is incomplete. Recently, it has been shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) influence messenger RNA (mRNA) transcriptional control and can contribute to human carcinogenesis. In the present stu...
