Micropropagation of Kainth using nodal explants was carried out in tissue culture laboratory, Department of Fruit Science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during 2011-13. The effect of various media {1/2 MS (M1), MS (M2) and WPM (M3)} and growth regulators (BAP, IBA and NAA) on establishment, proliferation and rooting was studied. Per cent necrotic culture was found to be influenced by...

BACKGROUND Heat-related illness is a primary threat to unit readiness, and individual body armor (IBA) cooling devices represent one potential solution. PURPOSE To quantify research findings of active and passive cooling devices designed to reduce physiological strain while wearing IBA during strenuous tasks using a systematic review approach. METHODS Literature searches were performed in m...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different IBA doses on rooting capacity of Cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus L.) types in greenhouse conditions under mist propagation unit in 2008 2009. This species has an economic and important value for medicinal and pharmaceutical industry. Determination of suitable conditions for cutting propagation of different types is too importan...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to investigate if any change exists in the values of tracheal bifurcation angles (subcarinal angle [SCA] and interbronchial angle [IBA]), right and left bronchial angles (RBA and LBA) in different pediatric age groups. METHODS Chest computed tomography (CT) images of children aged 18 years and younger were reviewed retrospectively by two radiologists wh...

To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Mruk and colleagues1 demonstrating the antithrombotic and antispastic effects of flavone-8-acetic acid (flavonoid) in an animal model of a deep arterial injury. The authors conclude that “Flavonoid markedly reduced platelet deposition, mural thrombi, and injury-induced vasoconstriction after deep arterial injury, suggesting that a major inhibi...

Stem-cuttings of Wedelia chinensis (Osbeck.) Merr. Were treated with different concentrations of IBA and GA. The results indicate that 100 ppm IBA treatment greatly enhances root production and quick establishment of the stem-cuttings.

Within the UK, there is a drive to encourage the delivery of alcohol screening (or identification) and brief advice (IBA) in a range of contexts beyond primary care and hospitals where the evidence is strongest. However, the evidence base for effectiveness in non-health contexts is not currently established. This paper considers the case of housing provided by social landlords, drawing on two r...

BACKGROUND Image-based B-mode ultrasound has gained popularity in major studies as a non-invasive method of measuring cardio- and cerebrovascular risk factors. However, none of the major studies appears to have paid sufficient attention to the variation in end diastolic wall process. By using sequentially based analyses (SBA) of Intima-Media Thickness (IMT), the general purpose of this study wa...
