introduction: the effects of accidents vary from minor injuries to fatalities and from insignificant damage to very severe damage to the environment and property. in order to prevent accidents in the work place, the root causes of and events should be identified using a systematic method and the results should be published. the current study aims to investigate the given causes of an accident i...

THE PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO ASSESS THE INSTRUMENTAL AND SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS OF GINSENG COFFEE WITH DIFFERENT RATIOS OF THE INGREDIENTS: type of coffee bean (Colombia, Brazil, and Indonesia), type of ginseng extract (white ginseng, red ginseng, and America ginseng) and concentration of ginseng extract (3, 6, and 9 w/v %). The sensory optimal condition of white ginseng coffee...

We have tested the independence of red-green chromatic and luminance mechanisms at detection threshold using a method of subthreshold summation. Stimuli were isoluminant red-green gratings and yellow-black luminance gratings that uniquely activate the red-green color and luminance mechanisms, respectively. Stimuli were Gaussian enveloped 0.25, 1 or 4 cpd sinewave gratings, counter-phase flicker...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We tested the effect of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) on neuronal remodeling of the corticospinal tract originating from the contralesional cortex in mice subjected to unilateral pyramidotomy (PT) followed by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). METHODS Adult mice with transgenic yellow fluorescent protein labeling in the corticospinal tract were subjected to ri...

A magnetostriction oscillator has been used for determining the relative fragility of human red cells to 9000 cycle vibrations under some different environmental conditions. The destruction of the cells is a logarithmic function of time according to the equation See PDF for Equation. Hypertonic saline solution, saponin, preheating, alcohol, and ether in subhemolytic concentrations decrease the ...

Red light-induced changes in the gravitropism of roots of Zea mays variety Merit is a very low fluence response with a threshold of 10(-9) moles per square meter and is not reversible by far red light. Blue light also affects root gravitropism but the sensitivity of roots to blue is 50 to 100 times less than to an equal fluence of red. In Z. mays Merit we conclude that phytochrome is the sole...

We describe a girl with Diamond-Blackfan anemia with accompanying red cell enolase deficiency. At the age of 9 yr old, the patient received allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from her HLA-identical sister who had normal red cell enolase activity. While the post transplant DNA analysis with short tandem repeat has continuously demonstrated a stable mixed chimerism on follow-up, the patient r...

Background and Purpose—We tested the effect of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) on neuronal remodeling of the corticospinal tract originating from the contralesional cortex in mice subjected to unilateral pyramidotomy (PT) followed by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Methods—Adult mice with transgenic yellow fluorescent protein labeling in the corticospinal tract were subjected to righ...

Unmordanted haematein in aqueous solution varies in colour from yellowish orange at pH 3 to bluish magenta at pH 9. In the presence of aluminium sulphate, the colour of solutions of haematein at any particular pH depends on the number of aluminium atoms to each molecule of haematein. At pH 4-6 the colour varies from yellowish orange through dull red to rose as the number of aluminium atoms to e...

a recently described species of dysdercus, named dysdercus stehliki schaefer, 2013 (hemiptera: heteroptera: pyrrhocoridae), found in viçosa, minas gerais state, brazil, feeds upon the seeds of fallen fruits of sterculia chicha a. st. hil. (malvales: sterculiaceae). the biology and immature stages’ descriptions of d. stehliki were assessed in two environments: laboratory and field. individuals o...
