We discuss and illustrate through numerical examples the relations between generating functionals, thermodynamic consistency (in particular the virial-free energy one), and uniqueness of the solution, in the integral equation theory of liquids. We propose a new approach for deriving closures automatically satisfying such characteristics. Results from a first exploration of this program are pres...

During human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection, a series of regulated events take place following virus binding and entry into the cell, including the upregulation of cellular transcription factors, such as NF-kB, which play an essential role in the viral life cycle. We show here that NF-kB message is induced during HCMV infection and that the induction is biphasic, suggesting an initial inducti...

background and objectives: bacteria, most prevalently the pseudomonas species possess high capacity to utilize and de- grade petroleum hydrocarbons and are classified as the hydrocarbonoclastic microorganisms. many species of the genus pseudomonas are notorious for their aerobic degradation capacity, extracellular enzyme production and are metabolically versatile organisms capable of utilizing ...

Apple (Malus×domestica Borkh.) is the fourth fruit in importance and Iran ranks fifth in apple production in the world. Longevity of juvenility in apple extends breeding cycles and makes its breeding a tough job. To alleviate this barrier via genetic engineering, the genes involved in flowering and floral development of apple and their function must be identified and characterized. Most of thes...

extracts derived from viscum album have been shown to kill cancer cells in vitro. some studies have noted that different species of this plant collected from around the world displayed cytotoxic effects in different extents. in the present study, we evaluated the effects of iranian mistletoe extracts on five cancer cell lines. plants growing on hornbeam tree (carpinus betulus) were collected, a...

We have isolated stable teniposide (VM26)-resistant cell lines from human cancer KB cells by stepwise exposure to increasing doses of the drug. At each step, we have purified VM26-resistant cell lines. KB/VM-a, KB/VM-b, KB/VM-1, KB/VM-2, KB/VM-3, and KB/VM-4 showed 3-, 6-, 12-, 16-, 74-, and 95-fold higher resistance to VM26 than did KB. We have further characterized KB/VM-2 and KB/VM-4 which s...
