calcineurin (can) is a ca2+/calmodulin (ca2+/cam)-dependent serine/threonine protein phosphatase expressed in most mammalian tissues but found at higher concentration in brain. in the last decade there have been a steadily increasing number of studies identifying neuronal can as a primary suspect in neuronal vulnerability, synapse loss, dendritic atrophy, synaptic dysfunction and neuroinflammat...

background and aims: in spite of a long tradition of fruit-tree growing in all provinces of iran, information on pear (pyrus communis) tree viruses is scant. in order to identify of the nature of the virus like symptoms and decline in pear trees, we carried out a survey for the occurrence of four important viruses. materials and methods: leaf samples of pear showing virus like symptoms were col...

I am grateful for the opportunity to speak directly to American physicists by mean of this short article. I am not a physicist, so my article will be short on technical detail, and I can merely give a general outline of the problems encountered by various technologies used to date. In case any subscribers are interested in contributing to the fight against landmines, I have included some outlin...

paper chromatography is an analytical technique for separating and identifying mixtures of materials. it is a useful technique since it is relatively quick, and requires small quantities of the material. by emergence of nanotechnology, paper chromatography has found many applications in biology and biotechnology. in this study, we employed gold and silver nanoparticles to detect protein bands a...

cholera outbreak is more common in developing countries. the causative agent of the disease is vibrio cholerae strains o1 and o139. traditional diagnostic testing for vibrio is not always reliable, because vibrio can enter a viable but non cultivable state. therefore, nucleic acid-based tests have emerged as a useful alternative to traditional enrichment testing.       in this investigation, a ...

Unexploded ordnance (UXO) is a source of concern at several U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) sites. Localization of munitions and fate and transport of the explosive compounds from these munitions are a major issue of concern. A set of laboratory experiments were conducted in specially designed flux chambers to measure the evaporative flux of three explosive compounds (2,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,6-d...
