results the mean of the inhibition zone diameter around the discs of green tea extract in all concentrations was significantly less than 1% sodium hypochlorite (p < 0.001). the antimicrobial effect increased in higher concentrations of extracts of green tea (p < 0.001). conclusions although the antimicrobial effect increases in higher concentrations of extracts of green tea, 1% sodium hypochlor...

the aim of this research paper is the introduction of a novel mathematical approach to improvethe accuracy of the results of air pollution dispersion models based on the calibration of input backgroundconcentrations. using the dunkirk area of the city of nottingham in the uk as a case study, an air pollutionmodel in adms-roads was created for developing the mathematical approach. the iterative ...

introduction: amnesia or loss of memory is the cardinal hallmark of alzheimer’s disease (ad), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with ageing process. although, ad had been discovered over a century ago, drugs which could cure or halt the progression of the disease are yet to see the light of the day. however, there has been a growing interest in the use of phytomedicines with m...

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of silver sulfate (AgSO4) as a toxicant in goldfish (Carassiusauratus). One hundred and forty-seven live specimens of C. auratus were obtained and exposed to 1, 10, 100, 500, 1000 and 2000 ppm of AgSO4for 96 hours. There was one control group (no AgSO4) and three replicates. The physicochemical properties of water and the following parameters were const...

Background: Measurement of back ground concentration of uranium in drinking water is very important for many reasons, specially, for human health. The uranium concentration in drinking water in many counties is a matter of concern for clinical and radioactive poisoning. Materials and Methods: The uranium concentration in drinking water is determined using laser flourimatric uranium analyzer. Fo...

since individuals spend the majority of their times indoors, fine particles generated in indoor combustion processes and by resuspension are important for health effects assessment. the nature and magnitude of indoor particle exposures can change rapidly because of the rapid changes in activities and sources. indoor pm 2.5 concentrations were measured in indoor office, café, and home where peop...

background: schizophrenia is a disorder of the executive function of both sensory and central nervous system. recent studies suggest that immune mechanisms play a role in the pathophysiology of this disease. the variations in cytokine concentrations have been associated with psychopathology and treatment of schizophrenia. objective: to investigate the changes in serum concentrations of tnf- α, ...
