Abstract
Methods of physical and chemical adsorption of heavy metals, has some disadvantages such as high cost and are ineffective at low concentrations. Methods for biological uptake of heavy metals in recent decades were considered. Among the biological adsorbent include: bacteria, fungi and alga, algae have the highest efficiency of metal uptake. This study determined that the main role in the uptake of metals, nickel (II) and cadmium (II) Alginic acid is responsible. Focus serratus brown alga, as adsorbent in this study used a cost-effective biological and biological uptake of cadmium and nickel ions simultaneously in a batch reactor has been studied. Surface structure of algae has been studied. Adsorption kinetics have been studied, the equilibrium time is about 300 minutes, the Langmuir adsorption isotherm using the equation can be interpreted as the maximum adsorption of about 0/85and 0/95mmol/g are, respectively, for cadmium(II) and nickel(II).

Abstract

Acid rain, which is a wet form of gaseous air pollutants, is formed when air pollutants such as SO2, NO2, CO2 in atmosphere combine with water vapor of clouds. With the addition of concentration of these pollutants the amount of acid rain is increases. Acid rain that is the mixture of sulphuric acid, nitric acid and carbonic acid lead to change in the soil like the decrease in pH, nutrient liberation, the increase of releasing in toxic metals and the decline in fertility of soil that these cases results negative effects on plants. In present work wheat plants irrigated  and leaf spraied with  four treatments of acid rain which contain sulphuric acid and nitric acid with  pH= 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.6 for a period of 32 days, whereas, control plants irrigated and leaf spraied by normal water at  pH= 7.4 . According to the results control plants in whole of growth and physiological indexes were better than treatments of  acid rain at pH= 2.5 and 3.5, also plants of acid rain treatment at pH= 4.5 and 5.6, were lower in other factors except photosynthetic rate, pigment content and carbohydrate content than control plants. Also acid rain at pH= 2.5 and 3.5 causes white spot in both surface of  leaf and tip and border atrophy.

Abstract

In this research, plant morphology and pollen morphology of 14 populations of 3 species belonging to two sections Plethiosphace and Hemisphace of Salvia genus in Iran were studied. In morphological study 25 quantitative and qualitative characters were investigated and results of this study clearly separated species into two groups. The pollen grains from the herbarium specimens were prepared by acetolysis method and then 4 quantitative characters were examined by light microscopy. Data analysis was carried out by principal component analysis method. Results of the study showed that although the pollen grains in the section are comparatively homogenous and all of them are 6-colpate with reticulate ornamentation, but show a considerable variation in studied quantitative characters. However among the studied characters, equatorial and polar diameters of pollen grains are the most significant characters and based of these characters the members of these sections can be divided into two groups based on these characters that confirmed the results of morphology.

Abstract

Gabbroic bodies with NW-SE trend outcropped in the southwest of Sahneh in the north of Gamassiab River, W. Iran are part of Zagros ophiolite . This complex is separated from the other geological units by deep faults and cut by pyroxenitic dikes. The field evidences, petrographic, geochemical and mineral paragenesis of these rocks are completely different from the fresh and un-altered gabbroic rocks. Furthermore the high ratios of 143Nd/144Nd (0.512945-0.513021) and low ratios of 87Sr/86Sr (0.70334-0.70656) indicate the sub-oceanic depleted mantle source for the origin of these rocks. Low variation of 143Nd/144Nd ratios, increasing of 87Sr/86Sr ratios, decreasing of SiO2 and increasing of CaO and Al2O3 mainly concludes the high reaction of gabbroic rocks with seawater. The pargenetic assemblages of altered gabbros are grossular/hydrogrossular, anderadite, epidote, idocrase (vesuvianite) and diopside. The mineral paragenesis reveals that the rodingitization was occurred by reaction of gabbroic bodies with high alkali water at a shallow depth

Abstract

In this paper, We Stabilize a subclass of nonlinear control systems by using neural networks and Zobov's theorem. Zobov’s Theorem is one of the theorems which indicates the conditions for the stability of a nonlinear systems with specific attraction region. We applied neural networks to approximate some functions mentioned in Zobov’s theorem, So as to find the controller of a nonlinear controlled system which is difficult task to find its law in mathematic manner. also we apply nelder meed optimization method to learning neural network. Finally, the effectiveness and the applicability of the proposed method are demonstrated by using some numerical examples.

Abstract

Olibanum (Frankincense) is a plant resin, which could be obtained from Boswellia carerii and some species of genus Boswellia. Survay in the field of Iranian and Islamic medicine customy indicating that most former and recent medicine customy philosophers believe that following consumption of Olibanum, specially during pregnancy, might increase intelligence, memory and learning abilities in the children. In the present investigation, thin layer chromatography method was used to identify plant species. The main goal of this research was to determine if Olibanum extract has any effect on learning abilities as well as memory in the next generation. Twenty wirgin Wistar rats were mated and the first day of gestation was determined by observation of vaginal plaque. The pregnant animals were divided into two experiment.11 (n=7) and one control (n=6) groups. From day 10 of gestation to 10 day post -paturition, every five day, the peregnant rats were injected intraperitoneally of 0.2 ml of aqueou extraction of Olibanum (%5 and %10 in experimental groups 1 and 2 respectively). The control rats were received equal volume of normal saline. When nevborns became two months old, randomly from each litters, one male and one female were selected. A T-complex maze was used first to test learning abilities by counting their errors and also measuring the time of reaching the goal. To test the effects of Olibanum on 1ong term memory. The examined animals were left free of any test for a period or 20 days. Then, they were tested again by the same maze. The results indicating that, in comparison with control animals, administration of Olibanum aqueous extraction specially 5% solution could significantly increase (p < 0.001) the rate of learning abilities and long-term memory as well.

Abstract

In this research, the effect of water stress on the soluble sugars, starch and proteins content of two different cultivars (kaka and jam) of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) was studied. The results showed that the soluble sugars increased while starch decreased during the stress in shoot and root of both cultivars. Increasing of soluble sugars and decreasing of starch hall a positive correlation with water stress. Variations of soluble sugars in two cultivars were significant, but its amount was higher in kaka than in jam. Variations of starch in tow cultivars were significant too, but its amount were higher in jam than in kaka, This may suggests that kaka is more tolerant to water stress than jam. Consideration of the electrophorogram of proteins showed the changes of protein bands under drought stress.

Abstract

Ahangaran lead-silver deposit is located 25 km southeast of Malayer on Malayer Arak road. The deposit is tectonically situated in Sanandej-Sirjan zone. Mineralization in Ahangaran mine occurs between sandstone and dolomite units, which is expanded into dolomite unit. The host rock of the deposit is limestone, which is early Cretaceous in age and apparently mineralization, occurs in the same time. Ahangaran deposit has been conformed of two parts including statiform and epigenetic vein type. Studies on the minerals such as pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and sphalerite reveal that the veins have formed in high temperature, while the stratiform zone was formed in a low temperature sedimentary environment. Mineralogical and geological characteristics of the Ahangaran deposit indicate the deposit to be a sedimentary exhalative type and the relationships between Ag and Pb confirm this idea. As a whole it can be said that the Ahangaran deposit is a polygenetic deposit which is formed in four stages: hypogene epigenetic, hypogene syngenetic, supergene epigenetic and supergene syngenetic. volume of normal saline. When nevborns became two months old, randomly from each litters, one male and one female were selected. AT-complex maze was used first to test learning abilities by counting their errors and also measuring the time of reaching the goal. To test the effects of Olibanum on long-term memory, the examined animals were left free of any test for a period of 20 days. Then, they were tested again by the same maze. The results indicating that, in comparison with control animals, administration of Olibanum aqueous extraction specially 5% solution could significantly increase (p<0.00l) the rate of learning abilities and long-term memory as well.

Abstract

The most prevalent and important mechanism of bacterial resistance to &beta-lactam antibiotics, is the production of &beta-lactamase enzymes which inactivate these drugs by the hydrolytic cleavage of the four-membered &beta-lactam ring during two steps which is including the nucleophilic attack of the bridging hydroxide ion on the substrate and eventual protonation of the leaving amine group. During this reaction, metal ions play an important role in the catalytic process. Despite the availability of &beta-lactamase crystallographic structures, their mechanism of action is still unclear and no clinically useful inhibitors of these enzymes have been reported. Density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP and 6-31G, 6-31G* and 6-311G** basis sets have been employed to calculate the details of electronic structure and electronic energy of catalytic reaction of CcrA enzyme active center from metallo-&beta-lactamase enzymes (M&betaLs), penicillin from &beta-lactam antibiotics, and the formed complexes including ES, ETS1, EI1, EI2, ETS2 and EP respectively, has been used. Also all the thermodynamic functions including ∆Hº, ∆Sº and ∆Gº to form two transition states, ETS1 and ETS2, and for the total reaction are evaluated at 25 °C, 31 °C, 37 °C and 40 °C and 1 atmosphere pressure. In all calculations solvent effects have been considered by using PCM method for water, ethanol, protein environment, nitro methane and carbon tetrachloride. Finally this reaction proceeds during an exothermic and spontaneous process, and the first step, the nucleophilic attack of the bridging hydroxide ion on the substrate, is the rate-limiting step
