There no significant differences (P>0.05) bet den litter size adjusted birth weight initial experiment a...

rhizosphere soil samples were collected from olive orchards of golestan, guilan, zanjan and qom provinces. fluorescent pseudomonad strains were isolated from the collected samples on king’s b medium and their phenotypic features characterized as based on the standard bacteriological methods. for all the tested strains oxidase reaction, fluorescent pigment, growth at 4?c and arginine dihydrolase...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate differences in mortality up to 1 year of age in extremely preterm infants (before 27 weeks) born in seven Swedish healthcare regions. METHODS National prospective observational study of consecutively born, extremely preterm infants in Sweden 2004-2007. Mortality was compared between regions. Crude and adjusted odds ratios and 95% CI were calculated...

The emission enhancement behavior and photocleavage activity of a ruthenium(II) arene complex, [(η(6)-p-cymene)Ru(dppn)(py)](2+) (1) (dppn = 4,5,9,16-tetraaza-dibenzo[a,c]naphthacene, py = pyridine), towards DNA were compared with [(η(6)-p-cymene)Ru(bpy)(py)](2+) (2), [Ru(bpy)2(dppz)](2+) (3) and [Ru(bpy)2(dppn)](2+) (4) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, dppz = dipyrido-[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine). It was ...

Sugarcane harvesting requires improvements, particularly in cutting tools. Continuous saws have been introduced as a solution to this issue. This study evaluates the performance of two basal sugarcane systems different fields: traditional impact cut system (ICS) with knives and continuous (CCS) saw blades. Tests were conducted during crop cycles three areas, using 3 × 2 factorial design devices...

The antioxidant ability of vitamin B12 (VitB12) and its effects on motility characteristics fresh chilled ram spermatozoa were investigated. Three concentrations VitB12 including 1, 2 4 mg/ml added to tris media samples collected from five Awassi rams incubated in these at 37 5 °C for 24 hours respectively. Formation hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was estimated using a fluorometric assay analyzed com...

Upstream stimulatory factor 1 (USF 1), is a transcription factor controlling expression of several genes involved in lipid and glucose homeostasis and co-localizes with familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) and type 2 diabetes on chromosome 1q22-23. We sequenced USF1 in 24 UK FCHL probands, but found no rare or common cSNPs. Three common intronic single nucleotide ploymorphisms (SNP), 306A>G,...
