The solidification process of Ti52-xNi38Cu10Nbx alloys was evaluated using the CALPHAD method and microstructural analyses as-cast with Nb additions x = 4, 6, 8 10 at%. Both in Scheil calculator structural analyses, observed phases were TiNi, β-Nb/Ti, Ti2Ni. TiNi is matrix phase, it presented similar amounts Ti Ni varying contents. Enrichments content depletion are expected liquid this phase. F...

Background and Aims: Hypericum microcalycinum Boiss. & Heldr. is used for inflammatory diseases in Anatolia. The involvement of liver X receptors (LXRs) free radicals diseases, activation LXRs, high radical contents cancerous tissue organs prompted us to determine the scavenging LXRα agonist activity aqueous fraction methanol extract fractions H. along with isolation studies from active fracti...

Oxidative stress induced by chronic hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes plays a crucial role in progressive loss of β-cell mass through β-cell apoptosis. Glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has effects on preservation of β-cell mass and its insulin secretory function. GLP-1 possibly increases islet cell mass through stimulated proliferation from β-cell and differentiation to β-cell from progenitor cel...

Protein aggregation and precipitation is associated with many debilitating diseases including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and light-chain amyloidosis. β-Casein, a member of the casein family, has been demonstrated to exhibit chaperone-like activity to protect protein form aggregation. Hofmeister salts (lyotropice series) are a class of ions which have an effect on the solubility and also the stab...

The serotonin 5-HT(4) receptor (5-HT(4)R) is coded by a complex gene that produces four mRNA splice variants in mice (5-HT(4(a))R, 5-HT(4(b))R, 5-HT(4(e))R, 5-HT(4(f))R). This receptor has highly dynamic expression in brain development and its splice variants differ in their developmental trajectories. Since 5-HT(4)Rs are important in forebrain function (including forebrain control of serotoner...

the rose sawfly, arge rosae linnaeus, is one of the most destructive pests of rose bushes in the north of iran. nowadays, many attempts have been made to reduce pesticide application by looking for new methods of pest control. a non chemical method for controlling insect pests including a. rosae can be achieved by using genetically engineered plants expressing carbohydrase inhibitors. therefore...
