Aims: The study is aimed to examine the adsorptive characteristics of the main salivary protein, mucin onto Ti surfaces and compare the scientific data with that onto CaHap; towards elucidating the biocompatibility of these two candidates in biomedical applications. Place and Dur...
In this article in order to build up an efficient regeneration system for cotyledons or hypocotyls of tomato MicroTom, two kinds of seed disinfectant (3% NaClO and 0.1% HgCl2 used for 5, 10, 15, 20 min), two types of basal medium (MS: Murashige and Skoog，1964, and B5: Gamborg e...
A thorough knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of an industrial waste is a crucial requirement for any attempt at chemical and/or biological treatment of the waste. Hence the present study was aimed to assess the physicochemical characteristics and...
The reactions of arylidene derivatives such as ethylphenylmethylenemalononitrile 3a, ethylphenylmethylenecyanoacetate 3b and ethylphenylmethylenecyano-acetamide 3c with substituted thiobarbituric acids 2a-e in presence of NaOCH3 and MeOH afforded 7-amino-1,3-diaryl-5-phenyl-2-thi...
The meaning of Lorentz “local time” is reconsidered in the classical physics. Set up two inertial reference frames S and S', the frame S' is moving at a velocity v relative to frame S in the x direction. When the origin of frame S' passes the origin of frame S, the clocks at the...
Heat flow stability profiles in the presence of external thermal field require careful qualitative treatment. The computational data must be considered to agree with realistic models. A hexagonal plate endowed with the thermal and material properties of a pure metal was chosen as...

Tapirira guianensis (Stick pigeon), a widely-used herbal medicine, has been reported to possess various biological activities. The aim of this study was the phytochemical analysis of the fractions of extracts of T. guianensis and the investigation of the action of these extracts...
We studied the ellipticity and the dependence on the phase lag (lead) (between the semi major and the semi minor axes of the field components) of the photoelectron angular distribution (PAD) in the non resonant three photon ionization of atomic hydrogen. The exact analytical expr...
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an autoimmune blistering disorder associated with a gluten-sensitive enteropathy (GSE), and is generally accepted as a cutaneous manifestation of celiac disease and is characterized by grouped excoriations; erythematous, urticarial plaques; and pa...

Background: The objective of this study was to reveal patterns in the treatment of urinary lithiasis in the Littoral Region, Cameroon, based on data on the use of plants, from traditional healers and patients under primary health care, and to demonstrate the efficiency of some of...
Aim: The haematinic activity and subchronic toxicity of Sphenocentrum jollyanum (Menispermaceae) seed oil was evaluated and compared with the control. Materials and Methods: In acute toxicity study the animals tolerated up to 16 g/kg body weight (bw) of the extract in 2 % Tween 8...
Rapid socio-economic changes in some developing countries like India, China, etc., are influencing dramatically the fuel consumption pattern world over. An increase of 880 TWh of electricity consumption in transport in 2030 compared with the Reference Scenario, of which 90% occur...
