particulate matters commonly found dispersed in the atmosphere are composed of a large variety of substances. dustfall is the usual index of particles in the size range greater than 10 m. two semi automated so2 sampling units were installed in tehran university campus (from 21 january 1973 to 22 dec. 1974) and gheitarieh area (from 23 august to 23 oct. 1974) hydrogen peroxide method was used fo...

background preventing the seasonal or pandemic outbreak of influenza can be powerful and cost-effective. objectives in this study, we constructed a novel virus-like particle (vlp) platform that contains two hemagglutinin (ha) subtypes and evaluated immunogenicity of constructed vlp in mice. materials and methods this recombinant candidate vaccine model resulted in the expression of two has of h...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of fullerene on chemical properties of naphazoline drug in   water by density functional theory (dft) methods.   materials and methods: naphazoline belongs to the imidazoline class of sympathomimetics.   the present study on naphazoline drug and its fullerene connected form were carried out using   computerized calculations of gaussian program in b3lyp/6-31g leve...

The crystal structure of the title compound was previously reported with composition 'Pd20Sn13' [Sarah et al. (1981 ▸). Z. Metallkd, 72, 517-520]. For the original structure model, as determined from powder X-ray data, atomic coordinates from the isostructural compound Ni13Ga3Ge6 were transferred. The present structure determination, resulting in a composition Pd6.69Sn4.31, is based on single c...

Malignant lymphocyte migration into lymph nodes is an important aspect of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), yet little is known about the processes involved. Here we demonstrate that CLL cells migrate across vascular endothelium in response to at least 3 chemokines, namely, CCL21, CCL19, and CXCL12. Moreover, transendothelial cell migration (TEM) in response to CCL21 and CCL19 was significant...

background and aims. incorporation of nano-particles to orthodontic bonding systems has been considered to prevent enamel demineralization around appliances. this study investigated cytotoxicity of transbond xt adhesive containing 1 wt% titanium dioxide (tio2) nano-particles. materials and methods. ten composite disks were prepared from each of the conventional and tio2-containg composites and ...

magnetic nanoparticles attracted a great deal of attention in the medical applications due to their unique properties. the most exceptional property of magnetic particles is their response to a magnetic force, and this property has been utilized in applications such as drug targeting, bioseparation, contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and heating mediators for cancer therapy. in...

background and purpose: in people wearing dentures, the growth of various candida species under the prosthesis leads to the formation of biofilm, which can play the role of a reservoir for candida and other kinds of microbes. since nano-chitosan particles can cause lasting antimicrobial activity, a more recent approach that utilizes acrylic resins with nano-chitosan particles is proposed. there...

silver nano-particles have different biological applications due to their compatibility. chemical methodsusually result in remaining some amounts of toxic reactions on the nano-particles. for this reason, the useof plants as sustainable and accessible resources in preparation of compatible nano-particles has attracteda lot of attention in the recent years. this research investigated the green s...
