A regeneration protocol for castor bean plant (Ricinus communis) was successfully developed using epicotyl sections obtained from in vitro seedlings.The maximum number of induced shoots (4.3 shoots/explant) and highest shoots frequency (75,56%) was obtained in WPM medium supplemented with TDZ (1 mg/L) and zeatin (0.5 mg/L), whereas the minimum numb
Improved Isothermal Relaxation Current Measurement Based on Isolated Circuit for Nondestructive Evaluation of High-Voltage Cable Insulation
The Isothermal Relaxation Current (IRC) method, as a non-destructive condition evaluation method based on insulation dielectric response, has been applied in 30-40mmHg the maintenance of power cables.However, the relaxation current is usually conducted through the outer shield of the high-voltage wire, which will introduce the extra depolarization
An investigation of the effects of Cinnamomum cassia bark extracts on oxidative DNA damage and possible cytotoxic and apoptotic activities in transformed/untransformed cell lines from Type 1 diabetic patients, in vitro.
It was BLADDERWRACK shown that patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) had increased level of oxidative DNA damage and decreased efficacy of DNA repair.These changes were implicated in the increased cancer risk in patients with diabetes mellitus.Cinnamon bark extracts have diverse biological activities including antidiabetic and anti-tumor pr
KSEMAW: an open source software for the analysis of spectrophotometric, ellipsometric and photothermal deflection spectroscopy measurements [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]
The optical behavior of devices based on thin films is determined by complex refractive index and thickness of each slab composing the stack; these important parameters are usually evaluated from photometric and/or ellipsometric spectral measurements, given a model of the stack, by means of dedicated software.In the case of complex multilayer devic
