Quantitative identification of physical changes, developments and dynamic position of urban green space is considered as the first step in its planning. By means of the aerial photos taken in 1956, 1974, and 1994 as well as the Quick Bird satellite image captured in 2006, this study has dealt with changes in per capita green space in Khorramabad during these years. First, geometric corrections ...

objectives: biomechanical preparation and irrigation with antimicrobial solutions are necessary to disinfect the root canal space. this in vitro study aimed to examine the antifungal effect of green tea extract on candida albicans biofilm formed on tooth substrate. materials and methods: minimum fungicidal concentration (mfc) and minimum inhibitory concentration at which 90% of the isolates wer...

Student-Friendly Precision Pendulum Germany (latitude 52 N → 981,274) in the early part of this century. With the information provided in this article, students should be able to easily measure the gravitational field strength to a few parts in 10,000, a degree of precision one to two orders of magnitude better than can be achieved with the usual simple pendulum under comparable conditions. The...

background: this study aims at investigating the possible effects of different daily doses of green tea (gt) intake for eight weeks on certain anthropometric, metabolic, and oxidative stress biomarkers of diabetic patients. materials and methods: this randomized clinical trial included 63 patients with type 2 diabetes (30 males and 33 females). after a two-week run-in period without green tea, ...

this research which aims to survey the relation between tobacco leaf yield and its components is done by using 118 varieties of tobacco in a research farm of guilan tobacco research institute. regarding to five random selections of plants, twenty three traits of each variety were evaluated. correlation between dry matter of leaf yield with plant height, stem diameter, leaf length, leaf width, l...

urbanization and population growth along with an increase in the environmental pollution resulting from human activities which have dramatically changed the green space and land cover have been key factors in the sustainable development of land and the management of land use. to collect reliable data required for providing land cover maps as well as for investigating the environment, remote sen...

  Background: Acceleration in sputum smear conversion helps faster improvement and decreased probability of the transfer of TB. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of green tea extract supplementation on sputum smear conversion and weight changes in smear positive pulmonary TB patients in Iran.   Methods: In this double blind clinical study, TB patients were divi...

BACKGROUND Both clinical and preclinical studies revealed that regular intake of green tea reduced the prevalence of depressive symptoms, as well as produced antidepressant-like effects in rodents. Evidence proposed that disturbed reward learning has been associated with the development of anhedonia, a core symptom of depression. However, the relationship between green tea and reward learning i...
