Aphelenchoides besseyi is a seed-borne plant parasitic nematode and is widely distributed in most rice growing areas. Application of resistant cultivars requires the identification of resistance source, which can then be included in breeding programs to improve the local rice cultivars. Fourteen Iranian rice genotypes including improved and local varieties were evaluated for resistance to A. be...

One of the most important assumptions which is being used in analysis and design of buildings against lateral forces is the rigid-floor assumption. Lateral rigidity of diaphragms depends on several factors such as: type of the structure, dimensions of structure, rigidity and location of lateral load bearing elements, stiffness of frames, type and thickness of floors, number of stories and etc. ...

We present a computational analysis of de re, de dicto, and de se belief and knowledge reports. Our analysis solves a problem rst observed by Hector-Neri Casta~ neda, namely, that the simple rulè(A knows that P) implies P' apparently does not hold if P contains a quasi-indexical. We present a single rule, in the context of a knowledge-representation and reasoning system, that holds for all P, i...

Effects of S-allylcysteine (SAC), an organosulfur compound of garlic, on circulatory lipid peroxidation and antioxidant levels were evaluated in N-nitrosodiethylamine (NEDA)-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in Wistar rats. Significantly elevated thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in the circulation of rats bearing carcinoma indicated the higher levels of lipid peroxidation which was accompanie...

through an application of genetic engineering, genes from a soil bacterium bacillus thuringiensis (bt) which confer resistance to pests were transferred into rice. successful employment of genetic engineering in traditional breeding programs is dependent upon stable transmission of transgene in transgenic varieties. three different segregating f2 populations were developed from a cross between ...

water shortage and its consumption resulted in development of a suitable rice cultivation system which use less water. therefore, this preliminary research was carried out to study the possibility of coversion of irrigated system of rice cultivation to aerobic. we tested 61 aerobic rice genotypes, in which were developed at international rice research institute (irri), together with 3 diverse l...

Using experimentally verified information from scientific literature is a time-consuming and creative process, so manually annotation of all proteins in this way is impossible. Most of the annotations in the databanks are based on the similarity with known annotations but this method has some limitations and in some cases it has error. These errors propagate in the databases and transfer these ...
