maintaining quality and longevity of cut flowers is one of the critical issues in the floriculture industry, especially in cut flowers; and one of the most important problems in chrysanthemum, as one of the most popular cut flowers. therefore, an experiment was conducted based on completely randomized design as pulse treatment with the three factors: tea extracts with 4 levels (5, 10, 20, and 4...

background: measurement of absolute or differential renal function using radiotracers plays an important role in the clinical management of various renal diseases. gamma camera quantitative methods in approximation of renal clearance may potentially be as accurate as plasma clearance methods. however some critical factors such as kidney depth and background counts are still troublesome in the u...

abstract the use of plants for remediation of heavy metals contaminated soils is an economical, cheap and effective strategy. this research was conducted in order to study the effect of potassium chloride on cadmium uptake and enhancement of it's phytoremediation by canola (brassica napus l.) and sunflower (helianthus annuus l.) in a cadmium polluted soil from angoran in zanjan province. in a r...

abstract background and objective: t3 resin uptake test indicates the availability of thyroxin binding globulin (tbg), which is the carrier of a large amount of t3 and t4 in blood. we aimed to study the relationship between serum t3 resin uptake and serum lipids profile. material and methods: the participants aged 14.80 ± 38.29 were both males (59 29.5%) and females (141 70.5 %). t3 resin uptak...

Gelatin is considered as a partially degraded product of collagen and it is a biodegradable polymer which can be used to produce scaffolds for tissue engineering. Three-dimensional, porous gelatin scaffolds were fabricated by thermally induced phase separation and freeze-drying method. Their porous structure and pore size were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Scaffolds with differ...

Coating performance is greatly influenced by the properties of the wood substrate. This study was focused on evaluating the performance of coatings on both preservative- and thermally-treated wood. A number of commercially formulated semi-transparent stains Alkyd, Alkyd-Acrylic and PU were applied on four different types of preservative treated and heat-treated wood and their performances were ...

the current epidemic of diabetes indicates the need of proper and effective medications that are limited in their potency to have many side effects. thus, introduction of alternative and complementary medicine is now in picture. the main objective of this study was to analyze the rate of glucose transport across cell membrane in yeast cells system in the presence of the ethanolic extract of bru...

background: dendritic cells (dcs) are professional antigen presenting cells (apcs), and there is considerable interest in their application as a cellular adjuvant for cancer immunotherapy.  previous studies indirectly demonstrated that dcs were able to take up tumor lysate (crude soluble tumor antigens) and also cross-present tumor associated antigens (taa) which elicits anti-tumor immune respo...
