Iron is at the forefront of a number of pivotal biological processes due to its ability to readily accept and donate electrons.However, this property may also catalyze the generation of free radicals with ensuing cellular and tissue toxicity.Accordingly, throughout evolution numerous pathways and proteins have evolved to minimize the potential haza
ABSTRACT Hydrological models (HMs) can be applied for different purposes, and a key step is model calibration using objective functions (OF) to quantify the agreement between observed and calculated discharges.Fully understanding the OF is important to properly take advantage of model calibration and interpret the results.This study evaluates 36 OF
Abstract Dog Wipes During antral folliculogenesis, developmental competence of prospective oocytes is regulated in large part by the follicular somatic component to prepare the oocyte for the final stage of maturation and subsequent embryo development.The underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood.Oocytes reaching the advanced stage of f
Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae (M.oryzae), is one of the most destructive diseases threatening rice production worldwide.Development of resistant cultivars using broad-spectrum resistance (R) genes with high breeding value is the most effective and economical approach to control this disease.In this study, the breeding potential of Pigm g
A bacterial culture was isolated from oil-contaminated soil based on its ability to metabolize the quinoline as the sole source of nitrogen.In this research Bacillus licheniformis Kitchen Taps strain was identified based on the result of 16S rRNA analysis.Optimized conditions were obtained with full factorial experimental design method using design
