In this study, it was surveyed to know whether an oral single dose of oleuropein could mimic the cardiac preconditioning in rats’ hearts or whether its prolonged oral administration could protect the heart against the aconitine-induced arrhythmia in rats. Eighty male Wistar rats were divided into two series (n = 8 in each group). In the first series, all groups (except the control (Con) group) ...

In sheet metal forming processes with complex strain paths, a part is subjected to large plastic deformation. This severe plastic deformation leads to high plastic strain localization zones and subsequent accumulation of those strains. Then internal and superficial micro-defects and in other words ductile damage is created. This damage causes quality problems such as fracture. Therefore, design...

abstract background: different adjuvant drugs have been used with local anesthetics in order to decrease the time of onset and elongate the duration and quality of regional blocks. this study was performed to study the effects of one of the adjuvants, verapamil, in supraclavicular block. methods: in this double blinded clinical trial, we divided 60 asa class i and ii patients who were to underg...

increasing the popularity of sip based services (voip, iptv, ims infrastructure) lead to concerns about its ‎security. the main signaling protocol of next generation networks and voip systems is session initiation protocol ‎‎(sip). inherent vulnerabilities of sip, misconfiguration of its related components and also its implementation ‎deficiencies cause some security concerns in sip based infra...

Wildfires are one of the most hazardous natural disasters in Australia terms fatalities, property damage and financial losses. Events catastrophic wildfires recorded across world including United States Canada. Failures along power distribution infrastructure network faults have been identified as some causes for initiation wildfires. Thus, it is critical to better understand mechanisms potenti...

De novo RNA synthesis by hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural protein 5B (NS5B) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase has been investigated using short RNA templates. Various templates including those derived from the HCV genome were evaluated by examining the early steps of de novo RNA synthesis. NS5B was shown to be able to produce an initiation dinucleotide product from templates as short as 4-mer a...

introduction : infections in neutropenic patients are considered as major causes of mortality and emergence of drug resistant gram positive bacterial infections are crucially important to be covered if indicated. vancomycin is active against most gram positive bacteria including methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa). in this study, we evaluated the appropriate utilization of this a...

This paper investigates learner-initiated responses to English language teachers’ referential questions and learner initiatives after teachers’ feedback moves in meaning-focused question-answer sequences to analyze how interactional practices of language teachers, their initiation and feedback moves, facilitate learner initiatives. Classroom discourse research has largely neglected learner init...

Translation, the process of mRNA-encoded protein synthesis, requires a complex apparatus, composed of the ribosome, tRNAs and additional protein factors, including aminoacyl tRNA synthetases. The ribosome provides the platform for proper assembly of mRNA, tRNAs and protein factors and carries the peptidyl-transferase activity. It consists of small and large subunits. The ribosomes are ribonucle...
