Crocus sativus L. (saffron) is a widely used food additive for its color and taste. The hypotensive effects of saffron have been shown in previous studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of vasodilatory effects induced by saffron on isolated rat aorta.To study the vasodilatory effects of saffron aqueous extract (0.5, 1 and 2 mg/mL), isolated rat thoracic aorta rings were co...

Elastic stability of ring and stringer-stiffened cylindrical shells under axial, internal and external pressures is studied using Ritz method. The stiffeners are rings, stringers and their different arrangements at the inner and outer surfaces of the shell. Critical buckling loads are obtained using Ritz method. It has been found that the cylindrical shells with outside rings are more stable th...

atropine has been used to block cholinergic neurotransmission in basic research. large doses of atropine cause vasodilation of the blood vessels in the skin. this effect is apparently unconnected with the antimuscarinic activity of atropine and seems to be due to a direct action on the blood vessels. it has been suggested that atropine blocks muscarinic receptors at low doses and it induces the...

Introduction: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a key role in the regulation of vascular tone and protection of blood vessels against endothelial dysfunction. Since the mechanism of salt impairing H2S-induced vascular relaxation is not fully clear, therefore this study was designed to investigate the role of potassium (K+) channels in the vasodilatory effects of exogenous H2S in rat aortic rings.&nb...

let $r$ be a reversible ring which is $alpha$-compatible for an endomorphism $alpha$ of $r$ and $f(x)=a_0+a_1x+cdots+a_nx^n$ be a nonzero skew polynomial in $r[x;alpha]$. it is proved that if there exists a nonzero skew polynomial $g(x)=b_0+b_1x+cdots+b_mx^m$ in $r[x;alpha]$ such that $g(x)f(x)=c$ is a constant in $r$, then $b_0a_0=c$ and there exist nonzero elements $a$ and $r$ in $r$ such tha...

we observe some new characterizations of $n$-presented modules. using the concepts of $(n,0)$-injectivity and $(n,0)$-flatness of modules, we also present some characterizations of right $n$-coherent rings, right $n$-hereditary rings, and right $n$-regular rings.

in this paper, we introduce the concept of the   generalized aip-rings as a generalization of the generalized quasi-   baer rings   and generalized p.p.-rings. we show that the class of the generalized aip-rings is closed under direct products and morita invariance. we also characterize the 2-by-2 formal upper triangular matrix rings of this new class of rings. finally, we provide sever...

this paper is an attempt to generalize, simultaneously, the ring of real-valued continuous functions and the ring of real-valued measurable functions.

we define and studyco-noetherian dimension of rings for which the injective envelopeof simple modules have finite krull-dimension. this  is a moritainvariant dimension that measures how far the ring is from beingco-noetherian. the co-noetherian dimension of certain rings,including commutative rings, are determined. it is shown that the class ${mathcal w}_n$ of rings with co-noetherian dimension...
