Heavy metals are among soil pollutant resources that in case of accumulation in the soil and absorption by the plant, enter into the food chain and poison the plants or the people who consume those plants. This research was performed in order to examine the role of cadmium as a heavy metal in the activity of catalase and peroxidase as well as protein concentration in Trifolium resupinatum L. ba...

The present study reports a factorial greenhouse experiment usinga randomized completeblock design in 2014 which investigated the effects of salt-pretreatedGlomus fasciculatumfungus, salinity, and the interaction effect of these variables on thephysiological properties ofbarley. The first factor was mycorrhizasalinity pretreated with different levels of salt (0, 25, 50and100mM) and the second f...

TOPIC: Lung Pathology TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Silicone breast implants are commonly used in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Despite its popularity, a number of associated complications have been described. We report case recurrent pleural effusions secondary to silicone-induced foreign body reaction (FBR). CASE PRESENTATION: A 66-year-old female was r...

Iron is a necessary mineral for plants' biological redox system and an important component of many enzymes. In the present study, effect of iron on morphological, biochemical, and physiological properties of soybeanwere investigated. The experiments were arranged in a completely randomized design with three replicates. Analysis of the data was carried out using SPSS with multiple range Duncan t...

The research analyses the essence and relationships between the variables in the context of light and architecture, and it aims to develop the knowledge and design based on the light and recognition of the space, an effort was made to analyze the role of light on quality of the Iranian architecture and three samples of the most precious mosques were selected as the instances of this phenomenon,...

New single crystals of R2PdIn8 (R = Pr, Ce) and R2RhIn8 compounds have been synthesized by solution growth from In flux and studied with respect to structure and electronic properties. Pr2RhIn8 exhibits van Vleck paramagnetism and strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy attributed to a crystal-field effect on the Pr ion. Ce2PdIn8 compound is paramagnetic down to 0.7 K, superconductivity below 0.7 ...

Controlling nuclear positioning within cells is crucial for many cellular processes including cell division, polarity, and motility in unicellular and multicellular organisms. Pronuclear migration, during which male and female pronuclei migrate toward the center of the zygote, is a key step for sexual reproduction and embryogenesis (Reinsch and Gönczy, 1998). In zygotes of most species, includi...

Avena fatua and Phalaris minor are narrow-leaved weeds that pose problems for many crops. In order to study the effects of sodium chloride (NaCl) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) on germination and initial seedling growth of Avena fatua and Phalaris minor, an experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design with 4 replications under laboratory conditions during 2011-2012. Eight lev...
