The Udea species (currently six) present in the Afrotropical realm are revised based on adults. Phlyctaenia epicoena Meyrick, 1937 syn. nov. is found to be identical with U. ferrugalis (Hübner, 1796). delineatalis (Walker Melliss 1875) and hageni Viette, 1952 redescribed. In addition, five of described as new science: kirinyaga Mally sp. from Mount Kenya Kenya, nicholsae , meruensis momella all...

in this study, genital tracts of 20 healthy non-pregnant buffaloes were collected from urmia abattoir.these genital tracts were selected based on their ovaries conditions, half of them were in follicular phase and the other half were in luteal phase. the samples were taken from anterior, middle and posterior regions of the cervix and fixed in 10% buffer formalin. then, histological sections of ...

objective: considering the importance of integrin molecules in the implantation and lack of sufficient information in the expression pattern of these molecules in various phases of estrous cycle. it seemed to be necessary to investigate these molecules in mouse endometrial during the various phases of oestrous cycle. materials and methods: female nmri mice (n=15) aged 6-8 weeks were studied. v...

hydrogen as an ideal energy carrier can play a very important role in future energy systems for hydro-gen production can be used a variety of technologies and sources. one of the most promising methods for large-scale hydrogen production is thermo-chemical water decomposition using heat energy from nuclear, solar and other sources. the water splitting thermo-chemicals cycles are processes where...

leptin, a circulating 16-kd polypeptide consisting of 167 amino acids, appears to be involved in the body weight homeostasis. moreover leptin plays an important role for the reproductive system, early embryogenesis, and fat metabolism during pregnancy and puberty. significant correlations have been found between leptin and sexual hormones, which is a cytokine and has hormonal properties. the ai...

objectives in this study the association of phenotypes and activity of butyrylcholinesterase (buche) with serum level of lipid-lipoprotein and apolipoproteins during various phases of menstrual-cycle was determined. methods the study population consisted of 22 healthy women aged 19–25 years with regular menstrual cycles, 26–30 days in length. the serum levels of lipids, apolipoproteins, and buc...

the purpose of this study was to investigate and compare whether the explant supernatants prepared from endometrial tissues during the proliferative phase, secretory phase and early pregnancy differ in immunosuppressive activity. specimens of nonpregnant endometrium from hysterectomies and normal first trimester decidua following elective aspiration termination of pregnancy were obtained. super...

the current regulated particle metric in vehicle emissions is the total mass, while during last decade interest in number size distribution has increased. various international studies on epidemiology and toxicology have reported the adverse effect of the particle matter on public health. the unece group of experts on pollution and energy (grpe) under particle measurement program (pmp) are unde...
