In the present work nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAp)/Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) composite was synthesized. The n-HApCMC composite was tested for the adsorption of Chromium from aqueous solution and compared its removal capacity with nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAp). Equilibrium data were fitted well in the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The thermodynamic analysis also established that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous.

The current study’s aim was to investigate the properties of treadmill training on the stroke-induced neurological deficit in both human and animal studies. Our searches identified 87 potentially suitable studies, of which 34 met our inclusion criteria for inclusion. Four were studies on humans and 30 on animals. We also considered studies with one or more independent variables (intensity and/or duration of treadmill training) and neurological scale as the dependent variable as well as studies with one or more independent variables and more than one dependent variable. Besides the given independent variables, body-weight support (BWS) during treadmill training (10 to 40% of body mass) was also regarded as an important bias for collected studies. This study displayed treadmill training regardless of intensity and volume/duration had significant greater recovery of motor function than did no-training (SMD= 0.601; 95% CI= 0.546 to 0.657; P=0.0001). The current study exhibited that low intensity (≤ 0.6 m/s) - high duration/volume (>500 minutes) treadmill training as a rehabilitation strategy had the highest SMD to ameliorate stroke-induced dysfunctions compared to the other strategies.

Drought stress is one of the major problems in crop production like rapeseed for two reasons. The first reason is that it reduces the plant growth rate through the alternation in physiological, biochemical and molecular processes. The second reason is that it disrupts the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species and the plant's antioxidant defense activities which leads to oxidative stress. One of the plant defense mechanisms is the use of non-enzymatic antioxidants such as vitamin E. This study aims to investigate several biochemical and physiological parameters in some rapeseed genotypes and their transgenic lines. Nima, Hyola4815, RGS003, Dalgan and Zafar genotypes besides transgenic rapeseed plants including Hyola4815 (Line5 and Line6) and RGS003 (Line3), are studied at four levels of 30%, 50%, 70%, and 90% field capacity (FC) using a factorial experiment in the frame of Completely Randomized Design (CRD). It is observed that by decreasing FC, the relative water content (RWC) reduces. On the contrary, malondialdehyde (MDA), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and catalase (CAT) increase.
