conclusions further investigations are needed about favorable composition of unsaturated fatty acids and flavonoid content of leaves of s. paradoxa. in addition, due to high phenolic content of the leaves, s. paradoxa is a promising source of natural antioxidants and may play good antidiabetic activity. results the amount of total phenolic compounds was higher in leaves than roots. besides, roo...

A fat-rich meal increases activated factor VII (FVIIa), but it is not clear whether this increase depends on the fatty acid composition of the meal. Therefore, we studied the FVIIa response to fat-rich meals with different fatty acid composition in a randomized controlled crossover trial and investigated whether this response is mediated by an increase in serum triglycerides. Elderly women (> 6...

OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have concluded that an energy expenditure by an acute exercise session has no immediate effect on leptin levels while some showed a decline in leptin levels. The purpose of this study was to investigate any possible effects of training status of the subjects on acute exercise-leptin relationship in obese patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fourteen obese sedentary females...

tourmaline can be found as an accessory mineral in a variety of rocks including leucogranite, pegmatite, quartz veins, and metamorphiccountry rocks in hajiabad-dehgah area in se of boroujerd city. tourmaline in pegmatites is coarse-grained, subhedral to euhedral, anddisplays strong to moderate pleochroic blue rimmed by olive green. in contrast, tourmalines from leucogranite, quartz-veins, and h...

background: thymus deanensis is a known aromatic plant which grows widely in iran and many mediterranean regions. in previous studies composition of essential oils of many species of thymus genus reported which they were rich of phenols like thymol and carvacrol. methods: water distilled essential oils from aerial parts of thymus deanensis var. deanensis from three different localities in iran ...

It is well known that the properties of shape memory alloys, such as binary Ni-Ti (nitinol), are very sensitive to composition.[1-3] Especially on the Ni-rich side of stoichiometry, the martensite/austenite phase transformation temperature decreases abruptly when Ni is increased only a few tenths of a weight percent.[4] In ternary high temperature shape memory alloys (HTSMAs) containing Pt, Pd,...

Holtz, F., Behrens, H., Dingwell, D.B. and Taylor, R.P., 1992. Water solubility in aluminosilicate melts of haplogranite composition at 2 kbar. In: Y. Bottinga, D.B. Dingwell and P. Richet (Guest-Editors), Silicate Melts. Chem. Geol., 96: 289-302. The compositional dependence of H20 solubility was investigated at 2 kbar and 800 °C in haplogranite melts (system SiO2-NaAISi3Os-KA1Si308 or Qz-Ab-O...

palmprint recognition is a new biometrics system based on physiological characteristics of the palmprint, which includes rich, stable, and unique features such as lines, points, and texture. texture is one of the most important features extracted from low resolution images. in this paper, a new local descriptor, local composition derivative pattern (lcdp) is proposed to extract smartly stronger...
