Objective: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common diseases. Coronary angiography (CAG) is an important apparatus used to diagnose and treat this disease. Since angiography is performed through exposure to ionizing radiation, it can cause harmful effects induced by double-stranded breaks in DNA which is potentially life-threatening damage. The aim of the present study is to inves...

delaying bud break, using chemicals is an approach to avoid spring frost damage. therefore, the effect of spraying different concentrations of soybean oil and naphthalene acetic acid (naa) on delaying bud break, altering internal atmosphere and cold hardiness in grape cultivar ‘fakhri’ was studied in 2011 in a commercial vineyard in maryanaj, hamedan using a factorial trial based on randomized ...

improvements in the properties of ordinary sidewall compound (nr/br) with the addition of epdm by reactive processing method were evaluated. the results show that ozone resistance of these sidewalls was improved with increased addition of epdm. also the tensile strength and elongation-at-break were increased in comparison with nrbrepdm compounds that were made by non-reactive processing. sem ph...
