the present paper is devoted to a new critical state based plasticity model able to predict drained and undrained behaviour of granular material. it incorporates a bounding surface plasticity model describing in multilaminate framework to capitalize on advantages of this mathematical framework. most of the models developed using stress/strain invariants are not capable of identifying the parame...

Introduction: The lack of social communication is associated with the primary risk of proper brain functions. It is reported that crocin helps relieve this problem. The present study examined the protective effect of two doses of crocin on Long-term potentiation (LTP) of hippocampal cornu ammonis 1 (CA1) area as a cellular mechanism in rats exposed to chronic social isolated stress. Methods: R...

A standardized extract of Phyllanthus emblica (trade named Emblica) was found to have a long-lasting and broad-spectrum antioxidant activity. The product has no pro-oxidation activity induced by iron and/or copper because of its iron and copper chelating ability. Emblica helps protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals, non-radicals and transition metal-induced oxidative stress...

Objective(s):Hyperglycemia mediated oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications like nephropathy. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of ethanolic extract of Ensete superbum seeds (ESSE) on renal dysfunction and oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Materials and Methods:Glucose, HbA1c, total protein, albumin, renal function mar...

this study was conducted to evaluate the cytoprotection of various extracts and bioactive compounds found in pistacia vera againts cytotoxicity, ros formation, lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation , mitochondrial and lysosomal membrane damages in cell toxicity models of diabetes related carbonyl (glyoxal) and oxidative stress (hydroperoxide). methanol, water and ethyl acetate were used to ...

Salt stress significantly limit wheat crop productivity worldwide. Exposure to non-lethal levels of salt stress, referred as "salt-priming", allows plants persist subsequent lethal conditions; the priming effect continues even after an extended stress-free period. This study attempted evaluate effectiveness salt-induced approach cope with toxic effects long-term salinity in wheat. After 22 days...
