in order to investigate the effect of water stress at heading stage on grain yield and yield components of eight wheat cultivars, in 2008 year a research was conducted in the two regions esfahan and ardestan by using split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications which that two irrigation treatments included custom and late season water stress were main factor and 8 wh...

PURPOSE To compare the clinical outcomes of aberration-free ablation profiles based on the normal corneal vertex (CV) and the pupil center (PC) in relation to laser in situ keratomileusis. Aberration-free aspheric ablation treatments were performed in all cases. METHODS Two myopic astigmatism groups (CV centered using the offset between pupil center and normal corneal vertex and PC centered u...

Abstract To overcome the disadvantage of CV-ACC method that the high-density sample region may be close to the optimal hyper-plane, a parameter selection method for support vector machine (SVM) based on the decision value, named as CV-SNRMDV method, is proposed in this paper. SNRMDV is used as the criterion of cross-validation (CV) in our method, which is defined as the ratio between the differ...

Recently, treatment with 2 newer classes of type 2 diabetes drugs were found to reduce events in patients with diabetes and cardiovascular (CV) disease, a group common in cardiology clinics. The sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, empagliflozin, markedly and rapidly reduced CV death and heart failure hospitalization, likely with hemodynamic/metabolic-driven mechanisms of action. More rece...

INTRODUCTION Vaccination with formulations containing pneumococcal protein antigens such as pneumolysin toxoid (dPly) and histidine-triad protein D (PhtD) may extend serotype-related protection of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) against Streptococcus pneumoniae. METHODS This phase II, multi-center, observer-blind trial conducted in Europe (NCT01204658) assessed 2 investigational vaccin...

abstract in order to evaluate crop water stress index (cwsi) and canopy temperature of wheat cultivars under terminal drought stress, a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station of shiraz university, shiraz, during 2009 growing season. five wheat cultivars including shiraz, bahar, pishtaz, sistan and yavaros and four levels of water regime including well watering [irr...

This article describes a prototype implementation of a symbolic model checker for a subset of VHDL. The model checker applies a number of techniques to reduce the search space, thus allowing for efficient verification of real circuits. We have completed an initial release of the VHDL model checker and have used it to verify complex circuits, including the control logic of a commercial RISC micr...

AIM Little is known about the impact of having one cardiovascular (CV) risk factor on the levels of other CV risk factors in the general adolescent population. We hypothesized that when adolescents have one CV risk factor, the levels of other CV risk factors worsen simultaneously. METHODS Subjects consisted of 1,257 healthy adolescent volunteers (549 males and 708 females) aged 15-18 years. A...

The transgenic rats TGR(ASrAOGEN) (TGR) with low levels of brain angiotensinogen were analyzed for cardiovascular reactivity to microinjections of ANG II and angiotensin receptor (AT(1)) antagonists [CV-11974, AT(1) specific; A-779, ANG-(1--7) selective; sarthran, nonspecific] into the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) of conscious rats. Microinjection of ANG II resulted in a significantly h...

The structure of a new antibiotic, CV-1 was determined to be 1,2-diamino-1,2-N,N'-carbonyl-1,2-dideoxy-alpha-D-glucose hydrate by spectral and chemical studies. CV-1 possessed a unique open ring hemiaminal structure. CV-1 synthesized from N-carbamoyl-D-glucosamine was identical to material isolated from fermentation.
