effect of automobile pollution on the productivity of crocus sativus was studied for one year time period (october 2005-april 2006). the parameters which were analyzed viz total chlorophyll, carotenoids, leaf area, plant height, corm size, corm weight, corm yield, biomass, flower production, and length of stigma and style, showed a remarkable decrease as compared to control. total chlorophyll ,...

Designing future computer networks dictates an eclectic vision capable of encompassing ideas and concepts developed in contemporary research unfettered by today’s operational and technological constraints. However, unguided by a clear articulation of core design principles, the process of network design may be at stake of falling into similar pitfalls and limitations attributed to current netwo...

the current study was carried out to examine sugar beet growth pattern in climatic conditions of hamedan, iran and to recognize the factors affecting its quantity and quality as well as the physiological indices. two sowing date experiments were conducted on the basis of a randomized complete block design with four replications and 11 harvests. the plots were destructively sampled and the growt...

AIMS Carbon monoxide (CO) delivered to cells and tissues by CO-releasing molecules (CO-RMs) has beneficial and toxic effects not mimicked by CO gas. The metal carbonyl Ru(CO)3Cl(glycinate) (CORM-3) is a novel, potent antimicrobial agent. Here, we established its mode of action. RESULTS CORM-3 inhibits respiration in several bacterial and yeast pathogens. In anoxic Escherichia coli suspensions...

Carbon monoxide-releasing molecules are emerging as a new class of pharmacological agents that regulate important cellular function by liberating CO in biological systems. Here, we examined the role of carbon monoxide-releasing molecule 3 (CORM-3) in modulating neuroinflammatory responses in BV-2 microglial cells, considering its practical application as a novel therapeutic alternative in the t...

in order to evaluate of using planting pattern for reducing herbicides dose in corn (single cross 704), a field experiment was conducted in 2007 at research field of collage of agriculture, islamic azad university branch of takestan. the experimental design was randomized complete block with 18 treatments and using factorial design with 4 replications. treatments consisted of corn planting patt...

This study investigated the atheroprotective properties of olive oil polyphenol, hydroxytyrosol (HT), in combination with carbon monoxide-releasing molecule-2 (CORM-2) that acts as a carbon monoxide donor using vascular endothelial cells (VECs). Our results showed that CORM-2 could strengthen the cytoprotective and anti-apoptotic effects of HT against TNFα-induced cellular damage by enhancing c...
