Iron is an essential mineral for the body, and iron deficiency generally leads to anemia. However, because non-anemic iron deficiency can exist, we performed a comprehensive transcriptome analysis of the liver to define the effects of this condition on the body. Four-week-old male rats were fed a low-iron diet (approximately 3 ppm iron) for 3 days and compared with those fed a normal diet (48 p...

The thermochemical state of UO2-based nuclear fuel is a key parameter for which experimental data are difficult to obtain. A new procedure using in situ oxido-reduction indicators was applied irradiated fuel, and we aim use it with chromium-doped unirradiated UO2. Nevertheless, had first characterise the chemical chromium precipitates our sample before. Here, present method used statistical cha...

An Egyptian, plant pathogenic Fusarium solani isolate was grown on cobalt concentrations of 0, 50, 200, 500, 800, and 1000 ppm. The isolate survived concentrations up to 800 ppm, however failed to grow at 1000 ppm. Morphology and elemental analysis of the isolate under the investigated Co concentrations were studied using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray microanaly...

The geochemical composition of surface soils and potential bedrocks in Davarzan area has been investigated to determine soil origin and evaluate environmental aspects. Davarzan plain is composed of soils and deposits derived by weathering and transportation of different bedrocks from northern mountains. The bedrocks consist of Eocene (andesitic to basaltic lavas and volcano-sedimentary rocks co...

introduction: potential almond rootstock and thus main genetic sources for the breeding of its new rootstocks are almond itself, peach and plum, and these species cross-breeds almond is a source of resistance to limestone and to drought because of its roots, which reach deep layers of soil; it is also more resistant than peach to na and bo. asexual or vegetative propagation is a hereditable cha...

High-MgO (s 8.5 wt%), aphyric lavas erupted at various locations in the North Atlantic igneous province are utilized to characterize the nature of mantle melting during the formation of this province. Based on the observation that the Ni concentration in residual mantle olivine mostly falls in the range of 2000^3500 ppm, these high-MgO samples are corrected for olivine fractionation until the N...
