The species of Lactobacillus are widely present in many natural environments that areimportant in fermented processes. Among these species some belong to the lactic acid bacteria group that areuseful in fermented food. One of the species of lactobacilli group such as L. plantarum provides health benefits,but their identification is one of the main issue. In order to proceed with this project, c...

De novo duplication of 2q is very rare. Most cases of 2q duplications result from familial translocations, and are associated with simultaneous monosomy of another chromosome segment. To our knowledge and search in English literature there are less than 20 reported cases of isolated 2q duplication. Hereby we introduce a 4.5-year-old Iranian boy of a non-consanguineous marriage who was referred ...

Long coronary lesions are associated with adverse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention since the era of plain balloon angioplasty. Long lesion and long stent length are considered as important predictors of restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention. With the advent of newer generation drug eluting stents, there has been dramatic reduction in the rates of restenosis and re...

We have developed a ruminant model to study long-term alterations in adiposity on the expression of appetite-regulating peptides in the hypothalamus. In this model endocrine and metabolic status are fully defined as well as body composition. The current study sought to define the effects of altered adiposity on the expression of genes for neuropeptide Y (NPY), POMC, enkephalin (ENK), and melani...

A technique for calculating the electric field in interference coatings is described. The used to find areas coating structure with minima. Thin absorbing metal films are introduced into these during design. results of transmission spectra narrow-band filters presented. It shown that such metal-dielectric thin-film structures block radiation long-wavelength region spectrum. Keywords: electromag...

Charge trapping/detrapping within thin solid films of the organic photoconductive materials Sudan I and Disperse Red I was investigated. Charge trapping took place under an external bias upon irradiation. Trapped charges could be stored for long times in the dark under open-circuit or short-circuit conditions and could be removed (detrapped) with irradiation at short-circuit. These substances s...

A comprehensive study of the dc and rf electrodynamic properties of YBa 2 Cu 307-, (YBCO) thin films, grain boundaries and Josephson junctions (JJ) is presented. The surface impedance Z, = R, + iX, of YBCO thin films is shown to have a dependence on rf current, which leads to nonlinear power losses at levels of rf power that are relevant for device applications. To understand the loss mechanism...

We study theoretically and numerically the bending-driven levelling of thin viscous films within lubrication approximation. derive Green’s function linearized thin-film equation further show that it represents a universal self-similar attractor at long times. As such, rescaled perturbation film profile converges in time towards function, for any summable initial profile. In addition, stepped ax...

Thin pili of the closely related IncI1 plasmids ColIb-P9 and R64 are required only for liquid mating and belong to the type IV family of pili. They were sedimented by ultracentrifugation from culture medium in which Escherichia coli cells harboring ColIb-P9- or R64-derived plasmids had been grown, and then the pili were purified by CsCl density gradient centrifugation. In negatively stained thi...

The structural changes of phalloidin-rhodamin labelled F-actin at relaxed and contracted skeletal muscle fibre containing phosphorylated myosin and at contracted state after dephosphorylation were investigated by measuring of polarized fluorescence of the fluorophore. The mechanical properties (isometric tension development) of fibre were studied in parallel. At submaximal concentration of Ca i...
