Introduction: To address the question whether combination of methylprednisolone (MP) as an anti-inflammatory drug used in neurodegenerative diseases and neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PCs) is safe, the present study was designed. Methods: Embryonic rat NS/PCs were exposed to different concentrations of MP and survival by MTT assay, proliferation by analyzing the number and diameter of neuro...

Considering that the effective yield of a panel is equal to its total number of hours of solar radiation and temperature, only the effects of temperature and solar radiation intensity at the maximum power point (MPP) are investigated in this article. By collecting temperature data, sun's radiation hours from six synoptic meteorological stations in Kermanshah Province over the course of an e...

In the difference absorption spectrum of thin, actively growing* aerobic suspensions of Chlorella pyrenoidmu, both the 480 mp (negative) and the 520 rnp (positive) bands are produced by light absorbed in chlorophyll b and chlorophyll a; the ratio of absorption changes caused by equal number of incident quanta of 650 mp light and those of 680 mp light, is about 1.2. Both effects are partially in...

to study the phenotypic and genotypic diversity of some important agronomic traits associated with yield in white beans, 30 genotypes of white bean were evaluated using a randomized complete block design with four replications in two environments under water stress and non stress conditions. analysis of variance for most of the traits showed significant differences among genotypes, indicating t...

to study the tolerance of genotypes under terminal drought stress, 20 promising winter and facultative bread wheat genotypes were evaluated at karadj, ardebil, arak and hamedan agricultural research stations during 2001-02 cropping season. the experimental design in all the locations was randomized complete block of three replications. grain yield (yld), harvest index (hi), grain number per spi...

in order to study of drought tolerance in bread wheat genotypes, this study was conducted in maragheh dryland agricultural research station. the study included two experiments and the statistical design of each experiment was a rcbd with four replications, and 20 bread wheat genotypes that were compared under drought stress (rainfed) and supplementary irrigation. analysis of simple variance sup...

melon and musk melon are grown widely in warm and moderate climate regions of the world as well as iran. these crops are attacked by several fungal pathogens including macrophomina phaseolina which causes charcoal rot disease at different growth stages and reduces the yield remarkably. fungicide application and other control methods have not been successful in control of charcoal rot and utiliz...

different levels of grape pomace extract (ge) were evaluated for their effect on in vitro gas production and as well on some such ruminal fermentation parameters as apparent degraded substrate, volatile fatty acids (vfa), and microbial protein production, in sheep, as ruminal inoculum donor. as for extraction, dried grape pomace and distilled water were mixed in an equal weight ratio. ge was ad...
