plants face many biotic and abiotic stresses at the same time during their growth under field conditions. plants responses toward combined stresses are often more complex than their responses to one type of stress in a way that the results of these responses are called as cross tolerance. this mixture of stresses activates specific models of gene expression that causes special signaling network...

In order to achieve prolong corneal contact time of norfloxacin(NFX) for treatment of extra ocular diseases, a pH triggered nanoparticulate in situ gelling system was designed to explore dual advantage of nanoparticles and in situ gelling system, for its ocular delivery. NFX loaded nanocarriers were developed by ionotropic gelation technique using chitosan as a matrix forming polymer, cross-lin...

In situ Al2024- Mg2Si composite was fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) of reactive powder. Reactive powder was obtained from mechanical alloying (MA) of elemental powders. Clad layers of in situ composite were fabricated on Al substrates by spark plasma sintering (SPS). Structural evolution during MA process and after SPS was investigated by X-ray diffractometery (XRD). Scanning electro...

in this study, the bacterial diversity in the activated sludge system of a full-scale municipalwastewater treatment plant in dubai was monitored over a period of one year using ribosomal rna (rrna)targeted oligonucleotide probes for a defined phylogenetic group of bacteria by the fluorescence in situhybridization (fish) technique. the largest fraction of the bacterial community in the sludge sa...

the cancerous spread of slum has been a rampant problem in urban areas worldwide. the acute shortage of housing facilities compels the poor to live in slums. proper rehabilitation is considered as a very essential remedial measure to provide better living environment to slum peoples. this study is an essential attempt to gauge the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program, which studies the cha...

background: the excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability and biological properties of the hydrogels, fabricated using natural polymers, especially polysaccharides, are very advantageous for biomedical applications. gum tragacanth (gt) is a heterogeneous highly branched anionic polysaccharide, which has been used extensively in food and pharmaceutical industries. despite,  its desirable prop...

obtaining samples that represent original fluid of reservoirs optimizes reservoirs management. the optimized management increases recovery. also, selecting and performing proper improved oil recovery (ior) or enhance oil recovery (eor) programs depend on collecting representative samples. achieving accurate compositions of original in-situ fluid prevents overdesigning surface facilities. repres...

we have studied the medicinal plants of ghasemloo and then surveyed the usagepercentage of different parts from each specimen for the medicinal or diet consumptions atthree sites from the adjacent villages of ghasemloo valley, villages of west and eastazerbaijan including 17 questioners. during two years, the medicinal plants that have beencollected and provided as herbarium specimens were reco...
