In this work, we probe anion production upon electron interaction with Fe(CO)5 clusters using two complementary cluster-beam setups. We have identified two mechanisms that lead to synthesis of complex anions with mixed Fe/CO composition. These two mechanisms are operative in distinct electron energy ranges. It is shown that the elementary decomposition mechanism that has received perhaps the mo...

Objective: Crocin and safranal are the main components of saffron, and have many biological functions such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In the present study, we investigated the effects of crocin, safranal, morphine, diclofenac and naloxone in combined and separately on formalin-induced orofacial pain in rats. Materials and Methods: Subcutaneous injection of a diluted formal...

Abstract The reaction–diffusion models can reproduce a wide variety of exquisite spatio-temporal patterns arising in embryogenesis, development and population dynamics due to the diffusion-driven (Turing) instability [102, 162].

objective: curcumin is a major constituent of turmeric and has many biological functions such as anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects. the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of curcumin and diazepam in separate and combined treatments on penicillin-induced seizures in rats. materials and methods: in urethane-anesthetized rats, epileptiform activity was induced by intraco...

In the course of mass spectrometer studies with the algae Chlorella and Chlamydomonas, data were obtained which indicate that the CO(2) burst and gulp are sensitive to oxygen. Furthermore, the CO(2) burst was found to be strongly suppressed when wave lengths shorter than 460 nanometers were blocked at intensities adequate to saturate photosynthesis. Under appropriate conditions at 30 degrees , ...

A major problem in cancer research is the lack of a tractable model for delayed metastasis. Herein we show that cancer cells suppressed by SISgel, a gel-forming normal ECM material derived from Small Intestine Submucosa (SIS), in flank xenografts show properties of suppression and re-activation that are very similar to normal delayed metastasis and suggest these suppressed cells can serve as a ...
