The aim of this study was to assess the effect on boar spermatozoa quality of in vitro storage in short and long-term extenders by fluorescent multiple staining (FMS) and computer assisted semen analyzer (CASA). Fresh ejaculates from three healthy, sexually mature boars were diluted with equal volumes of six short-term or three long-term commercial extenders and stored at 19°C for 6 days (short...

Modern neuroscientific research help to solve the impotent challenge in curriculum design and teaching for enhancing students’ ability to organize information in a way that makes it efficient in response to an appropriate context such as problem solving and critical thinking via knowing about the mechanism of different type of memories especially long term memory. At first, we should to c...

The current study dissociated and examined the two primary components of the phonological working memory subsystem--the short-term store and articulatory rehearsal mechanism--in boys with ADHD (n = 18) relative to typically developing boys (n = 15). Word lists of increasing length (2, 4, and 6 words per trial) were presented to and recalled by children following a brief (3 s) interval to assess...

In this paper we propose a procedure for the storage and retrieval of digital signals utilizing DNA. Digital signals are encoded in DNA sequences that satisfy among other constraints the Noise Tolerance Constraint (NTC) that we have previously introduced. NTC takes into account the presence of noise in digital signals by exploiting the annealing between non-perfect complementary sequences. We d...

Long-term renal function is compromised in patients receiving deceased donor kidneys which require cold storage exposure prior to transplantation. It is well established that extended cold storage induces renal damage and several labs, including our own, have demonstrated renal mitochondrial damage after cold storage alone. However, to our knowledge, few studies have assessed renal and mitochon...

objectives: to evaluate the short-term outcome of open appendectomy, the rate of negative appendectomy as well as pathology reports after surgery in patients with suspected acute appendicitis. methods: this was a retrospective cross-sectional study being performed in nemazee hospital affiliated with shiraz university of medical science during a 2-year period between 2008 and 2010. the medical r...

in this study, combined effect of two essential oils, thymol and carvacrol, with different concentrations in two methods on gladiolous grandiflorous l. was investigated based on a completely randomized design with 3 replicates and four flower in each replicate. sansusi variety applied that was red. in short term method, different concentrations of thymol and carvacrolin including 25+25, 50+50 a...

we aimed to evaluate the potential of growing rats as a model of osteoporosis induced by short term hypercholesterolemia. twelve growing female sprague-dawley rats were randomly allocated into two groups. control rats received standard diet while rats in group 2 were fed with diet contained 20% sunflower oil, 2% cholesterol and 0.5% cholic acid for 2 weeks and then a diet contained 10% sunflowe...

abstract background: conflict is the lack of agreement and disagreement between the two men, and behavioral maladjustment or objectives that are in opposition to the other. destructive conflicts are incidents imposed on one or more than one member of the family or the whole family and affect on them. the purpose of this research is to study the effect of solution - focused short-term approach o...
