background: the prangos ferulacea (pf)–yogurt is a traditional food in iran. this study investigated the effects of pf on the microbial, physicochemical and sensory properties of probiotic yoghurt. methods: pasteurized low fat milk was heated up to 85°c, cooled to 40°c, and then mixed with conventional and lactobacillus casei starter cultures incubated at 37°c until ph decreased to 4.6. then, t...

INTRODUCTION HIV controllers (HICs) experience relatively low-level viraemia and CD4 preservation without antiretroviral therapy (ART), but also immune activation that may predispose to adverse clinical events such as cardiovascular disease and hospitalization. The objective of this study was to characterize the rates and reasons for hospitalization among HICs and persons with medically control...

BACKGROUND Internationally, there is a growing recognition that hepatitis C virus (HCV) may be sexually transmitted among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM). OBJECTIVE To report the first Canadian estimate of HCV seroincidence in 2000 to 2010 and its risk factors among HIV-positive MSM with no known history of injection drug use. METHODS Data from the Ontario HIV Treatment Network...

With >90 known deposits containing original reserves of >2400 Mt sulfide ore, the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB) is largest volcanogenic massive (VMS) province on Earth. In these evolving mineral systems, texturally different pyrite exhibits characteristic mineralogy and trace element fingerprints. (Py-1), which well preserved in polymetallic ores that crystallized at earliest stage VMS deposit form...

A variety of Pd(II) complexes containing the neutral N,P,N-ligand bis(2-picolyl)phenylphosphine (N(py)PN(py)) have been synthesised and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The neutral complex [PdCl(2)(N(py)PN(py)-N,P)] (1) has been selectively obtained in high yield by reaction of [PdCl(2)(NCPh)(2)] with the ligand in dichloromethane. The cationic complexes [PdCl(N(p...

The aim of this study was to test the genotypes effect of DGAT1 gene on breeding value in Iranian Holstein milk production traits. For this purpose, 103 semen samples of registered bulls were collected and then genotyped for partial region of DGAT1 gene. The studied traits were milk yield (MY), fat yield (FY), protein yield (PY), fat percentage (FP) and protein percentage (PP). First lactation ...

Pyrrole-imidazole (Py-Im) polyamides are nuclease-resistant novel compounds that inhibit gene expression by binding to the minor groove of DNA. A Py-Im polyamide that targets rat TGF-beta1 was designed as a gene-silencing agent for progressive renal diseases, and the distribution and the effects of this polyamide on renal injury were examined in Dahl-salt sensitive (Dahl-S) rats. For identifica...

In this paper, we introduce and investigate the generalized Olivier sequences deal with, in detail, two special cases, namely, Olivier-Lucas sequences. We present Binet's formulas, generating functions, Simson summation formulas for these also provide variousmatrices identities associated with Furthermore, show that there are close relations between Olivier, adjusted Pell-Padovan, third order L...
