The catabolism of sodium formate to acetate and carbon dioxide by the anaerobic acetogen Butyribacterium methylotrophicum was analyzed by fermentation time course and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies. Significant hydrogen production and consumption fluxes were observed during formate catabolism but not during the catabolism of formate plus CO. In the latter case, formate and CO were simul...

An assessment of spectrum efficiency for a microcellular land mobile radio system is presented by considering the desired signal as (fast) Rician fading with (slow) lognormal shadowing and co-channel interfering signals as uncorrelated (fast) Rayleigh fading superimposed over (slow) lognormal shadowing. Spectrum efficiency is defined in terms of reuse distance, Le., cluster size, traffic intens...

Background: Methamphetamine (METH) is one of the most popular psychostimulants which produce long lasting learning and memory impairment. Previous studies have indicated that estrogen and progesterone replacement therapy attenuate cognitive impairment against a wide array of neurodegenerative diseases. Present study was designed to figure out the effects of estrogen, progesterone alone or in co...

This paper quantitatively analyzes the literature on Islamic microfinance from early 2000 to 2020, as represented by English-language articles Scopus database. Using a bibliometric approach plus content analysis, we describe field's evolution and structure, including co-citation, co-authorship, bibliographical coupling. We find that Malaysia is most relevant country, International University (I...

The microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton orchestrates the cellular plasticity and dynamics that underlie morphogenesis and cell division. Growing MT plus ends have emerged as dynamic regulatory machineries in which specialized proteins-called plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs)-bind to and control the plus-end dynamics that are essential for cell division and migration. However, the molecular mechanism...

Background: This study investigates the effects of melatonin on the sperm quality, the level of antioxidant enzymes (TAC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) after the combination of swimming exercise and nandrolone decanoate (DECA). Materials and Methods: Two groups of male Wistar rats were treated for eight weeks as follows; group A consist of: CO (control), Sham, N (DECA), S (swimming) and NS (DECA pl...

greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the response of wheat to tank mixture of herbicides with insecticide and manure in ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. the experiment consisted of 8 treatments: 1- tribenuron methyl (15-20 g ha-1) + clodinafop propargyl (0.8 l ha-1) 2- tribenuron methyl + clodinafop propargyl + fenitrotion (1.2 l ha-1) + librel (1 kg ha-1) 3- tribenuron methyl + c...
