The lunar Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) defines a time between ∼3.8 to possibly 4.1 Gy ago when the Nectarian and early-Imbrium basins on the Moon with reasonably well-constrained ages were formed. Some have argued that these basins were produced by a terminal cataclysm that caused a spike in the inner Solar System impactor flux during this interval. Others have suggested the basins were formed ...

polygonatum orientale desf. (asparagaceae) is herbaceous and perennial plant grown in northern parts of iran. the rhizomes of polygonatum, known as iranian shaghagho, is used in iranian traditional medicine as tonic, aphrodisiac, wound healing, lightening, kidney stone remedy, gynecological and internal wounds healing, anti-gout and rheumatism, and anti-diabetic. the aim of this study was to ev...

Introduction: Recently, the search for appropriate hypoglycemic agents has been focused on plants. Teucrium polium is traditionally used in Iran to manage, control and treat diabetes. We designed this study to elucidate the effect of the administration of oral doses of aqueous and ethanol extract from Teucrium polium on plasma glucose, lipid profiles and liver enzymes in diabetic and non dia...

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is the cause of Johne's disease in cattle and other ruminants. M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection of the bovine host is not well understood; however, it is assumed that crossing the bovine intestinal mucosa is important in order for M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis to establish infection. To examine the ability of M. avium subsp. paratuberculo...

Using a sequenced pectate lyase-encoding gene (pel gene), we developed a PCR test for Erwinia carotovora. A set of primers allowed the amplification of a 434-bp fragment in E. carotovora strains. Among the 89 E. carotovora strains tested, only the Erwinia carotovora subsp. betavasculorum strains were not detected. A restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) study was undertaken on the amp...

Il Don Giovanni è una delle opere più note della produzione mozartiana creata a poca distanza dall’ingresso di Mozart in massoneria. La visione dell’Oriente cambia pari passo alla crescita conoscenza orientale, cui non rimane estraneo, come evidente da molti aspetti del Giovanni. psicologia dei personaggi si intreccia, per Kierkegaard, nella filosofia narrazione che rappresenta la genialità sen...

Phytophthora alni subsp. alni, P. alni subsp. multiformis, and P. alni subsp. uniformis are responsible for alder disease in Europe. Class I and II elicitin gene patterns of P. alni subsp. alni, P. alni subsp. multiformis, P. alni subsp. uniformis, and the phylogenetically close species P. cambivora and P. fragariae were studied through mRNA sequencing and 3' untranslated region (3'UTR)-specifi...

Background and objectives: Amongst the serious metabolic disorders, diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common disease throughout the world. The excess of morbidity and mortality associated with DM and its complications emphasize the importance of new or alternative therapeutic strategies in prevention and treatment of this chronic disorder. Medicinal herbs grow vastly in Iran and are ...
