Nowadays, the separation of pistachios which seem to have aflatoxin is done according to their organoleptic physical qualities like color and etc. As these methods are not  fully practical, and there is always a possibility of error and also the conditions like the wrong time harvest, the transportation of picked pistachios, the delay on the processing cause some contaminations in pistachios wh...

Introduction: Rosemary, Rosmarinus (R.) officinalis L. is a well-known plant with several useful properties such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-neurodegenerative. It has been used in folk medicine to alleviate rheumatic pain, stomachache and dysmenorrhea. Rosemary has several constituents such as rosmarinic acid which can be responsible for therapeutic properties been noted with rosem...

Background: Orthodontics is a part of dentistry that includes preventive methods and correction of dental irregularities that need to be repositioned by functional and mechanical tools to provide an ideal occlusion and a beautiful face for patients. There are currently four metal arch wires used in orthodontic treatment: stainless steel alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, nickel-titanium alloy, and b...

Upon viral stimulation, the natural interferon (IFN)-alpha/beta-producing cells (IPCs; also known as pre-dendritic cells (DCs 2) in human blood and peripheral lymphoid tissues rapidly produce huge amounts of IFN-alpha/beta. After performing this innate antiviral immune response, IPCs can differentiate into DCs and strongly stimulate T cell-mediated adaptive immune responses. Using four-color im...

In this paper, numerical solution of beta-type Stirling engine was presented considering its non-ideal regenerator. To this end, the second-order model including heat and power losses was used. Then, a numerical code was applied for calculating geometrical and physical optimum values of the engine. To confirm the obtained results, the physical and geometrical parameters of the GPU-3 engine were...

The low-molecular weight beta-trace protein constitutes about seven per cent of the total protein content in human cerebrospinal fluid. Within the central nervous system the protein is found predominantly in white matter and fractions enriched in glial cells. Immunofluorescence studies on sections of monkey brains show that beta-trace protein is particularly localized to cells such as astrocyte...

Bile from Alligator mississippiensis was found to contain a mixture of more than twenty bile acids, bile alcohols, and neutral sterols. Bile acids and bile alcohols were purified by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Concentrations were measured by gas-liquid chromatography on 1% HiEFF-8BP and identifications were made by mass spectrometry. The ...

We measured carotene in the livers of two patients receiving beta-carotene therapy for photosensitivity. In both patients, the amount of carotene was within reported ranges for patients on normal diets; no abnormal amounts of beta-carotene had accumulated in the livers after oral administration of large amounts of beta-carotene. Light-microscopic examination of the liver (specimen obtained at c...

The transport of norepinephrine and two key enzymes involved in its synthesis, tyrosine hydroxylase (EC 1.14.3a) and dopamine beta-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.2.1), has been studied in relation to other axonal constituents in ligated chicken sciatic nerves. Norepinephrine, tyrosine hydroxylase, and dopamine beta-hydroxylase activity all increased proximal to the constriction over a 20-hr period. The r...
