encapsulation of olive oil is an effective method to protect it against environmental deteriorative factors. in this research, olive oil microcapsules were produced by complex coacervation method. the objective was to examine the effect of gelatin and arabic gum as shell materials, lactose as cryprotectant, and different acidification times on microencapsulation efficiency of olive oil. arabic ...

Objective(s) Several antigens, adjuvants and delivery systems have been evaluated for induction of protective immune responses against Leishmaniasis, but most of them have been inefficient. In this study, PLGA nanospheres as antigen delivery system CpG-ODN as an immunoadjuvant for increasing the immune responses against Autoclaved Leishmania major (ALM) were prepared and characterized. Materi...

studies on floristic composition of weeds in an agricultural zone could help to reach a better weed control management strategies. the goal of this article was the study of the floristic composition of lentil weeds grown filds in khorramabad, during 2007-2008. sampling was done on 9 point of each field according to w method in 21farm. in each plat per plate of all weed species were counted sepa...

Leptospirosis is one of the most prevalent zoonotic diseases worldwide. Currently, multivalent whole-cell leptospiral vaccines can induce protection against leptospirosis. Therefore, preparation and formulation of new generations of vaccines that can stimulate long-term immunity for leptospirosis control are essential. The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize alginate microspheres ...

Graph games provide the foundation for modeling and synthesis of reactive processes. Such games are played over graphs where the vertices are controlled by two adversarial players. We consider graph games where the objective of the first player is the conjunction of a qualitative objective (specified as a parity condition) and a quantitative objective (specified as a meanpayoff condition). Ther...

OBJECTIVE Patients with Graves' disease were studied one year after radioiodine-131 therapy to assess the relationship between the effectiveness of the therapy and the radioiodine doses used. METHODS Patients were classified into three groups according to thyroid function as hyperthyroidism, euthyroidism and hypothyroidism at one year after I-131 therapy. In these groups we compared the mean ...

Let W [n] be an independent random sequence with constant mean µ W = 0 and variance σ 2 W. Define a new random sequence X[n] as follows: X[0] = 0 X[n] = ρX[n − 1] + W [n] for n ≥ 1. (a) Find the mean value of X[n] for n ≥ 0. (b) Find the autocovariance of X[n], denoted as K XX [m, n]. (c) For what values of ρ does K XX [m, n] tend to G[m − n], for some finite-valued function G, as m and n becom...

in a corss sectional survey, anthropometric indices of 205 women in hassanabad khaleseh, rural area of eslamshahr on the basis of weight (wt), height (ht), body mass index (bmi), midarm circumference (mac) and waist to hip ratio (w/h) has been investigated. the dependence of these indices to some independent variables were determined. the findings of this study indicated that the mean of wt, ht...
