Iranian researchers from Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz produced a non-toxic nanocatalyst that has highly appropriate performance in the degradation of pollutants. The nanocatalyst was produced through a simple and cheap method. Results of the research can be used in the production of water and air purification filters. In recent year, researchers have paid special attention to zinc oxide dueRead more

Dinosaurs weren't cold-blooded -- like modern-day reptiles -- nor were they warm-blooded -- like mammals and birds, according to a study aiming to answer a question that has intrigued paleontologists for decades. Instead, the prehistoric creatures' metabolic rates were somewhere in between, said the report published in the US journal Science, released Friday. The results suggest that the common practiceRead more

Iranian researchers from Yazd University produced a biosensor that is able to determine fetus sex in a short period of time. The sensor has high selectivity and sensitivity and can be produced at a low cost. Efforts were made in the designing of the sensor to use high performance nanoparticle and preferably an appropriate production method. Common old methods forRead more

Chemical researchers from University of Tehran in association with Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Research Center of Kashan University succeeded in the production of a membrane that can be used in the separation of medical materials from hospital wastewater by using nanotechnology. The membrane has polymeric structure and it greatly helps the economization of water purification process due to its high efficiencyRead more

Studying mice, researchers have found a way to prevent nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Blocking a path that delivers dietary fructose to the liver prevented mice from developing the condition, according to investigators at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The study appears in a recent issue of The JournalRead more

When electrical pulses are applied to the ventral tegmental area of their brain, macaques presented with two images change their preference from one image to the other. The study is the first to confirm a causal link between activity in the ventral tegmental area and choice behavior in primates. When electrical pulses are applied to the ventral tegmental area ofRead more

On weekends, in the afternoons and in February are the times when the risk of death following surgery is the highest, research demonstrates. Hospital mortality is subject to day-night, weekly and seasonal variability. However, a cyclic influence on hospital mortality has not been shown in patients after surgery. In this study, the researchers investigated the daily, weekly, and seasonal variabilityRead more

Iranian researchers from Shahid Beheshti University studied the possibility for manipulation and time control of radiation of single molecules by using a computational method. Results of the research can be used in designing new devices to detect quantum systems. The researchers studied a method that enables the manipulation of quantum properties of single molecules. Their objective was to study controllableRead more

Yemen and Turkey agreed here on Sunday to establish typical schools called "Yemeni-Turkish Schools" in the capitals of the country's six regions and later in the provinces' capitals. During their meeting, Education Minister Abdul-Razzaq al-Ashwal and director of the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) office in Yemen Faruk Bozgoz discussed the possible ways to enhance the cooperation relations betweenRead more
