conclusions the excellent antimicrobial activities of the tested eos might be due to their major phenolic or alcoholic monoterpenes with known antimicrobial activities. hence, these eos can be possibly used as an antimicrobial agent in treatment and control of oral pathogens. results the tested eos inhibited the growth of examined oral pathogens at concentrations of 0.015-16 µl/ml. among the ex...

The fundamental frequencies and mode shapes of steel and carbon fiber–reinforced plastic (CFRP) cylindrical shells with steel inserts were investigated using finite element analysis and modal testing. The free-free boundary condition was tested with modal testing using the roving hammer method and verified by finite element analysis using ABAQUS. The results show good agreement between the test...

the aim of this research is to study ni2+ supported on hydroxyapatite-core-shell magnetic γ-fe2o3 nanoparticles (γ-fe2o3@hap-ni2+) as a green and recyclable catalyst for the biginelli reaction under solvent-free conditions. one-pot multi-component condensation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, urea and aldehydes at 80 oc affords the corresponding compounds in high yields and in short reaction times ...

embryonic stem cells (escs) as pluripotent stem cells have the potential to give rise to all three germ layer cells. also, these cells have the self-renewing ability. escs could differentiate into most of cell lineages. lymphocytes generated from hematopoietic stem cells. we designed a feeder free culture condition to generate lymphoid lineage cells from escs. we demonstrated that il-7 plays cr...

 Background: In recent years, plants natural products have gained considerable attention as natural preservers for use in different industries. Due to their free radical scavenging activities, phenolic compounds can prevent a wide range of diseases such as cancers and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. For a long time, different Ferulago species have been in use as medicina...

All sexually reproducing eukaryotes have a life cycle consisting of a haploid and a diploid phase, marked by meiosis and syngamy (fertilization). Each phase is adapted to certain environmental conditions. In land plants, the recently reconstructed phylogeny indicates that the life cycle has evolved from a condition with a dominant free-living haploid gametophyte to one with a dominant free-livi...

the present study was carried out to determine the free radical scavenging properties of some plants, found in malaysia. the air-dried leaves of each plant (20 g) were soaked in distilled water (1:20; w/v) for 72 h at room temperature. collected supernatants were tested for free radical scavenging activity against the dpph and superoxide anion radical scavenging assays. all extracts were found ...
