Tailoring the active phase of CoO-based thin-film catalysts in order to tune selectivity in CO hydrogenation.

In this study, we prepared CoO-based thin films deposited on Kanthal steel wire gauze meshes by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed a structure characterized by a combination of cobalt oxide and metallic cobalt embedded within a carbon matrix. Our primary objective was to gain insights into the roles of Co and CoO in CO hydrogenation reactions.

Detection of Acute and Chronic Infection among Women with History of Abortion in the Southwest of Iran.

Background: () is one of the most common intracellular protozoan parasites, which can infect humans and a wide range of mammals and birds. The current study is aimed at investigating the occurrence of infection in women with a history of abortion in Khuzestan, Iran.

Materials And Methods: A total of 480 women with an abortion history, as well as 200 pregnant women with a normal delivery, were examined in this study.

First molecular subtyping and phylogeny of Blastocystis sp. isolated from domestic and synanthropic animals (dogs, cats and brown rats) in southern Iran.

Background: Blastocystis sp. is a common intestinal protist that infects humans and many animals globally. Thus far, 22 subtypes (STs) have been identified in mammalian and avian hosts.

Design of Indigenous ELISA Using Tachyzoites from the RH Strain of and Comparison with Commercial Kits in Ahvaz, Southwest of Iran, 2015.

Background: is one of the most common causes of latent infections in humans worldwide. Detecting anti- antibodies in serum using serological tests is a common method to diagnose toxoplasmosis.

Objectives: In the present study, an indigenous ELISA kit was prepared using tachyzoites from the RH strain of , and its sensitivity and specificity were compared with those of commercial kits.
