Synthesis of Dihydropyridine Analogues for Sperm Immobilizing Activity (2008)

M. Amini, Z. Naghibi Harat, P. Daneshgar, M. Vosooghi, A. Shafiee

In the present study, the activity of seven newly synthesized dihydropyridine analogues on the motility of sperm were determined and compared to nifedipine activity that was used as standard. Sperm...

Shear Modulus and Damping Ratio in Aggregate-Clay Mixtures: An Experimental Study Versus ANNs Prediction (2008)

A. Shafiee, R. Ghate

An extensive test program was conducted on kaolin-gravel and kaolin-sand mixtures to evaluate shear modulus, damping ratio and pore pressure of the mixtures. Test results reveal that shear modulus...

Undrained Behavior of Compacted Sand-Clay Mixtures Under Monotonic Loading Paths (2008)

A. Shafiee, H.R. Tavakoli, M.K. Jafari

This study describes an experimental study on compacted sand-clay mixtures to investigate pre-failure and failure characteristics of such mixtures under monotonic compression and extension loading...

Antigen-Specific Lymphocyte Proliferation Assay and Virus Neutralization Test for Measurement of Measles-Specific Immunity in 15-19 Years Old High School Students in Tehran, Iran (2007)

S. Amel Jamehdar, F. Sabahi, K. Zandi, A. Shafiee, S. Faghih Zadeh, F. Azizi Jalilian

Limited information is available concerning the role of measles-specific cell mediated immunity as a correlate of long-term protection from measles infection. Although serological responses are...

Antiinflammatory and Analgesic Effects of Phlomis lanceolata Boiss. and Hohen. Extracts and Examination of their Components (2006)

Common Cause and Contextual Realization of Bell Correlation (2005)

Shafiee, A., Maleeh, R., Golshani, M.

Considering the common cause principle, we construct a local-contextual hidden-variable model for the Bohm version of EPR experiment. Our proposed model can reproduce the predictions of quantum...

Determination of Ofloxacin in Plasma by HPLC with UV Detection (2005)

M. Amini, Kh. Abdi, M. Darabi, A. Shafiee

A simple, sensitive isocratic method for detection and quantification of ofloxacin in plasma has been developed. The assay consisted of reversed HPLC with UV detection. Separation was achieved on a...

Single-particle Bell-type Inequality (1999)

Shafiee, A., Golshani, M.

It is generally believed that Bell's inequality holds for the case of entangled states, including two correlated particles or special states of a single particle. Here, we derive a single-particle...

Yeast FKBP-13 is a membrane-associated FK506-binding protein encoded by the nonessential gene FKB2.

Nielsen, J B, Foor, F, Siekierka, J J, Hsu, M J, Ramadan, N, Morin, N, ...

The immunosuppressants FK506 and rapamycin prevent T-cell activation and also inhibit the growth of certain strains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It has previously been shown that yeast...

Characterization of methyltransferase and hydroxylase genes involved in the biosynthesis of the immunosuppressants FK506 and FK520.

Motamedi, H, Shafiee, A, Cai, S J, Streicher, S L, Arison, B H, Miller, R R

FK506 and FK520 are 23-membered macrocyclic polyketides with potent immunosuppressive and antifungal activities. The gene encoding 31-O-demethyl-FK506 methyltransferase, fkbM, was isolated from...

Disruption of a rhodaneselike gene results in cysteine auxotrophy in Saccharopolyspora erythraea.

Donadio, S, Shafiee, A, Hutchinson, C R

A 3,373-base-pair DNA segment from a clone fortuitously isolated from Saccharopolyspora erythraea by hybridization to an oligodeoxynucleotide probe was sequenced. Computer-assisted analysis of the...

Purification and reconstitution of the electron transport components for 6-deoxyerythronolide B hydroxylase, a cytochrome P-450 enzyme of macrolide antibiotic (erythromycin) biosynthesis.

Shafiee, A, Hutchinson, C R

The hydroxylation of 6-deoxyerythronolide B (6D) to erythronolide B, a step in the biosynthesis of the 14-membered macrolide antibiotic erythromycin A by Saccharopolyspora erythraea, is catalyzed by...
