Drainage ditches are indispensable components of the agricultural production landscape. A benefit of these ditches is contaminant mitigation of agricultural storm runoff. This study determined bifenthrin and lambda-cyhalothrin (two pyrethroid insecticides) partitioning and retention in ditch water, sediment, and plant material as well as estimated necessary ditch length required for effective m...

adjustment of plant density is an important base on light, water and soil nutrients for increasing seed yield. to determine of plant density in new red bean lines (phaseolus vulgaris l.), this experiment was conducted as factorial in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications at lordegan region (chaharmahal and bakhtiari province) in 2004-2005. factors were new red bean lin...

Tc-99m sestamibi is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) that has been proposed for use as a functional imaging agent for the multidrug resistance-1 phenotype. In vitro, retention of sestamibi by cells that overexpress Pgp can be modified by the presence of Pgp antagonists. In a Phase I trial of the Pgp reversal agent PSC 833, we show that the effects of this reversal agent can also be demonstra...
