A new Discrete Ordinates transport solver for unstructured tetrahedral meshes is presented. The uses the Discontinuous Galërkin Finite Element Method with linear or quadratic expansion of flux within each cell. solution one-group problem obtained non-preconditioned fixed-point GMRES iterations. Precision and performances are evaluated on 3D Radiation Transport Benchmark Problems proposed by Kob...

We have performed multiprobe experiments using a Bridgman-anvil pressure cell, adapted to trap Daphne oil as pressure medium. Resistivity, ac-magnetic susceptibility, thermopower, and ac-heat capacity of a type-I superconductor, lead, have been studied at low temperature up to 5+/-0.1 GPa. This is the first report where ac-magnetic susceptibility has been measured in this type of pressure cell ...

Bioassay-directed fractionation led to the isolation of two new biflavonoids and 13 known biflavonoids from a sample of the dried stem barks of Daphne feddei. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 were elucidated as 2''-methoxy-daphnodorin C (1) and 2''-methoxy-2-epi-daphnodorin C (2) on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis and X-ray crystallography. All 15 biflavonoids were tested for in...

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a common causative agent of genital ulceration and can lead to subsequent neurological disease in some cases. Here, using a genital infection model, we tested the efficacy of vinegar-processed flos of Daphne genkwa (vp-genkwa) to modulate vaginal inflammation caused by HSV-1 infection. Our data revealed that treatment with optimal doses of vp-genkwa after, but not ...

Abstract Can we hold agents responsible for their implicitly biased behavior? The aim of this text is to show that, from the nurturing stance, holding subjects behavior justified, even though they are not blameworthy. First, I will introduce stance as Daphne Brandenburg originally developed it. Second, specify what somebody amounts to. Third, how and why can help a subject develop an impaired c...

Among various treatments, plants play a crucial role in cancer chemotherapy. Base on literature data, different species of the thymeleaeceae family have been found to be good sources for anticancer agents. Therefore, our laboratory has initiated a research project on evaluating the anticancer properties of the Iranian medical plant, Daphne mucronata (Thymeleaeceae). Gnidilatimonoein is a new di...
