Over fifty bacterial strains were isolated from seawater samples in the presence of naphthalene as a sole source of carbon and energy. Among them, three isolates with higher growth rate and naphthalene degradation ability were selected for further studies. Biochemical and molecular analysis revealed that two Persian Gulf isolates, strain PG-10 and strain PG-48 belonged to the group of hydrocarb...

Punica granatum (Pg), commonly known as pomegranate (Pg), is a member of the monogeneric family, Punicaceae, and is mainly found in Iran which is considered to be its primary centre of origin. Pg and its chemical components possess various pharmacological and toxicological properties including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory (by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines), anti-cancer and anti-angiog...

We find all minimal blocking sets of size 32 ðpþ 1Þ in PGð2; pÞ for p < 41. There is one new sporadic example, for p 1⁄4 13. We find all maximal partial spreads of size 45 in PGð3; 7Þ. 1 Minimal nontrivial blocking sets in PG(2, p) A blocking set in a projective plane is a set of points meeting all lines. It is called nontrivial when it does not contain a line. An m-secant of a set is a line me...

Let V be a 2m-dimensional vector space over a field F (m ≥ 2) and let k ∈ {1, . . . , 2m − 1}. Let A2m−1,k denote the Grassmannian of the (k − 1)-dimensional subspaces of PG(V ) and let egr denote the Grassmann embedding of A2m−1,k into PG( ∧k V ). Let S be a regular spread of PG(V ) and let XS denote the set of all (k − 1)-dimensional subspaces of PG(V ) which contain at least one line of S. T...

This study evaluated the effect of antioxidant agents on microtensile bond strengths (μTBS) of composite to bleached enamel. Fifteen freshly extracted human third molars were selected and randomly assigned to 6 groups (n = 5): (NB) enamel not bleached, (B) bleached enamel, (BR7) bleached enamel and restored 7 days later, (BSA) bleached enamel+sodium ascorbate, (BMC) bleached enamel+malvidin chl...

We present our experiment about adding anthocyanins to the daily food of mice. Three kinds of anthocyanins (cyanidin-3-glucoside, cyanidin-3-rutinoside and pelargonidin-3-glucoside) purified from Chinese mulberry (Morus australis Poir) were evaluated for suppressing body weight gain of the male C57BL/6 mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD). The results from a 12-week experiment show that consumptio...

alzheimer’s disease (ad) is a disorder with multiple pathophysiological causes, destructive outcomes, and no available definitive cure. pelargonidin (pel), an anthocyanin derivative, is an estrogen receptor agonist with little estrogen side effects. this study was designed to assess pel memory enhancing effects on the a rat amyloid beta 25-35 (aβ) intrahippocampal microinjections model of ad in...

In this paper, we introduce $(p,q)g-$Bessel multipliers in Banach spaces and we show that under some conditions a $(p,q)g-$Bessel multiplier is invertible. Also, we show the continuous dependency of $(p,q)g-$Bessel multipliers on their parameters.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) appears as motor dysfunction that is attributed to depleting dopamine levels due cell death in the extrapyramidal system comprised of basal ganglia’s neurons. Oxidative stress central triggering death. Water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) contains anthocyanins with potential antioxidative and neuroprotective activities can ameliorate oxidative PD. This research aimed assess a...
