In recent year species of Artiodactyla have suffered rather decrease in populations as result of poaching.In many cases detecting the organs and tissues obtained from arrested poachers is not possible visually therefore it makes difficult to affirm the occurred violation.The aim of this study was to provide a molecular technique based on mtDNA mark

BACKGROUND: Type III secretion systems (TTSS) are employed by numerous pathogenic and symbiotic bacteria to inject a cocktail of different "effector proteins" into host cells.These effectors subvert host cell signaling to establish symbiosis or disease.METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We have studied the injection of SipA and SptP, two effector prot

Abstract Afterload enhancement (AE) of rat engineered heart tissue (EHT) in vitro leads to a multitude of changes that in vivo are referred to as pathological SERVING BOARD cardiac hypertrophy: e.g., cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, contractile dysfunction, reactivation of fetal genes and fibrotic changes.Moreover AE induced the upregulation of 22 abunda

Background.Roach, Rutilus rutilus (Linnaeus, 1758), is an omnivorous fish species that is able to utilise a range of food resources.Both juvenile and older roach can negatively affect zooplankton abundance in freshwater bodies of water; hence populations are often reduced (biomanipulated) in order to increase zooplankton populations.The aim of this

In this study, in 2011 for the duration of two months, the dispersion of a major air pollutant, sulfur dioxide from gas flares of an oil field, in Iran, was investigated.Due to the complexity of meteorological parameters in modeling area, California Puff (CALPUFF) model was used in this study.CALPUFF is a more advanced model Coolers than AERMOD whi
