At maturity, the fruit of two early maturing orange cultivars, Hamlin and Pineapple (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck), contained more ethylene and abscisic acid than the late maturing Valencia and Lamb Summer (C. sinensis [L.] Osbeck) cultivars. Ethylene (up to 95 nl/l in internal atmosphere) and abscisic (50 mug/kg dry weight flavedo) increased most rapidly in Pineapple, leading to increased cellu...

Here it is reported that sucrose synthase can be readily measured in growing wild tomato fruits (Lycopersicon chmielewskii) when suitable methods are adopted during fruit extraction. The enzyme also was present in fruit pericarp tissues, in seeds, and in flowers. To check for novel characteristics, the wild tomato fruit sucrose synthase was purified, by (NH(4))(2)SO(4) fraction and chromatograp...

Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L) seed polysaccharide (TSP) is of great important due to its various biological activities. The present investigation was carried out to compare extraction yield, morphological characteristics, average molecular weights and antioxidant activities of TSP from gammaand electron beam (EB)-irradiated tamarind kernel powder. The tamarind kernel powder was irradiated with...

Although only recently Punica granatum (pomegranate) has been acclaimed for its health benefits, this fruit has long been cultivated and consumed, as a fresh fruit or in the form of beverage, especially in the Mediterranean region. In the present study, the antioxidant effects of the methanolic extract of pomegranate peels (MEPP) and pomegranate juice (PJ) were evaluated in normal male rats. Al...

background: radiodine therapy (rit) for hyperthyroidism is increasingly used as a therapy of choice in most of the patients. effect of multiple factors on the result of therapy was noted. this study tries to analyze the effect of multiple factors on success rate of rit. methods and patients: one hundred and sixty four hyperthyroid patients referred for rit therapy from 1996-99, were studied. th...

estimating fetal weight in utero, for better management of pregnancy and appropriate timing of delivery especially in high-risk pregnancies is necessary. our purpose to evaluate a simple method in estimating fetal weight in iranian pregnant patients and also to compare was with a previous western study. this study was carried out in arash hospital, tehran university of medical sciences in 1996-...

in this research a comparative study has been made between case and control groups. the cases were low birth weight newborns (under 2500 gr) and the controls were normal berth weighing 2500 gr or more at birth. four groups of birth weight were considered as follows: very low birth weight, low birth weight, moderately low birth weight and normal. the data were collected over a period of 8 months...

This research was conducted to find the gray value of Weight roller weight test against engine RPM a motorized vehicle, torque is desired result. Large but still within reasonable limits fuel use, namely 1:15. After testing using Dyno test, results are processed fuzzy logic. The use rollers indeed proven be able increase machine, can change depending on value, therefore it assisted by system ge...
