one of the problems in the case of stainless steels is their low corrosion resistance against pitting corrosionin chloride containing environments, thereby leading to severe damage to industries. in this research, the pitting corrosion of 304 austenitic stainless steel was studied in 3.5% nacl solution at room temperature (25˚c) by performing electrochemical measurements (containing cyclic pola...

The electrochemical behaviour of lead electrode in hydrochloride solution containing variousoxo-anions at different concentrations was studied by using of cyclic voltammetry (CV) method.Results obtained show that the addition of these inorganic compounds decreases the anodic andcathodic currents peaks according to the following order: H2PO4- > HPO42-> SO42-. It’s revealedalso that the cathodic ...

The objective of this study was to try to depress serum testosterone (T) in bulls by prolonged treatment with a potent luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist. Eight sexually mature bulls (325 to 475 kg) were assigned to treatment or control groups. Treatment consisted of 150 micrograms nafarelin acetate 6-D-2-naphthyl-alanine-LHRH (LHRH-A) injected im every 6 h for 15 d. Bovine se...

Twenty-two nonlactating Hereford cows exhibiting normal estrous cycles were fed either maintenance (M) or restricted (R) diets until most of the R cows became anestrus; R cows then were fed 160% of the M diet until estrous cycles resumed. Concentrations of progesterone, glucose, insulin and nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) were determined in weekly blood samples. Blood also was collected freque...

The effect of changing the DNA concentration on RNA synthesis, protein synthesis, and cell growth rate was studied in Escherichia coli B/r. The DNA concentration was varied by changing the replication velocity or by changing replication initiation in a thymine-requiring strain with a mutation in replication control. The results demonstrate that changes in DNA concentration (per mass) have no ef...

objective: hydatidosis is one of the most important zoonotic diseases and surgery is still the main treatment for this problem. one of the side effects of hydatid cyst surgery is recurrence, thus, searching and assessment of some new agents such as medicinal plant extracts are very important. in the present study, the scolicidal effect of ethanolic extract of ziziphora tenuior l. (z. tenuior) w...

The aim of this investigation was micropropagation of Quercus brantii L. via culture of terminal and lateral buds for mass production of this plant. The plant materials were collected from Fars province Iran in spring and summer seasons. After surface sterilization and the removal of phenol materials from the explants, they were transferred into different culture media containing different conc...

    Electrochemical aptamer-based sensors attract a lot of interest as useful methods because of their low cost, accuracy, sensitivity, and simplicity. An electro-active redox molecule comprises the main part of the electrochemical-based sensors. Ferrocene is one of the most popular redox molecule used in biosensor fabrication. But, instability of ferrocenium ion in strong nucleophilic reagents...

In order to optimize the micropropagation of Qare-Qat (Vaccinium arctostaphylus J.J.Sm), samples were collected from two regions of Iran (Asalem and Kelardasht). Anderson (AN) media containing different concentrations of zeatin (0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg L-1) and different levels of pH (4.5, 5 and 5.5) were compared. The in vitro shoots were transferred on AN media supplemented with zeatin (1 and 2...
