Soil-to-plant relationship/Transfer factor/Radiocaesium/Radiopotassium. In the present study we assessed the radiocaesium uptake by plants in order to piece together information on factors affecting the uptake processes, particularly K supply and plant species differences. Vegetation uptake from soil contaminated by the Chernobyl accident was compared at two semi-natural grasslands. The Cs/K di...

Background: Around one out of two mothers give births by cesarean section (CS) surgery in Iran and about half of this number is due to previous CS. Recently Health Sector Evolution (HSEP) program (started in April 2014) targets the high rate of CS in Iran. To assess the impact of the interventions, we emphasized that the First Birth Cesarean (FBC) proportion is one of the main indicators to ass...

the aim of me present work was to investigate rhe potential utility of nanoparticles made of chitosan (cs) and also cs chemically modified with polyethylene glycol (cs-peg) as new vehicles for improving na^al vaccine delivery. for mis purpose, diphtheria toxoid (dt) was chosen as a model antigen. dt was entrapped within nanoparticles made of cs of different molecular weight, and also made of cs...

The title compounds were prepared by sintering stoichiometric mixtures of the binary deuterides in an autoclave under 65 bar pressure at 625 K. Neutron powder diffraction reveals a b-K SO type structure for Cs MgD (space group Pnma, a58.5988(4), b56.6234(3), 2 4 2 4 ˚ ˚ c511.5988(5) A) and a Cs CoCl type structure for Cs MgD (space group I4/mcm, a58.4022(2), c512.6951(4) A). In both deuterides ...

   Our previous study showed that Coriandrum sativum (CS) has antinociceptive effects, but the mechanisms that mediate this effect are not clear. The present study was designed to test the role of opiate system in the antinociceptive effects of CS on acute and chronic pain in mice using Hot Plate (HP), Tail Flick (TF) and Formalin (FT) tests and also to compare its effect with dexamethasone (DE...

Polyacrylonitril (PAN)-supported chitosan (CS) nanocomposite membranes were prepared by cross-linking the CS with 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTEOS) via sol-gel method. Pervaporative performances of the CS-SiO2/PAN membrane for dehydration of aqueous alcohol solutions were investigated. From SEM cross-sectional images of the membrane, the spongy pores and the finger-like pores we...
