abstract this research was conducted in toroq experimental field station, mashhad, iran, for two successive cropping seasons (2000-2002), using split plot experimental design based on complete randomized blocks with three replications. moisture stress treatments (at seven levels) were assigned to main plots, including: d1 ( full irrigation), d2 (no irrigation from one-leaf to double ridge) stag...

BACKGROUND Quadriceps-sparing (QS) approach is considered to be the most minimally invasive surgery for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We perform this meta-analysis to evaluate whether malalignment and malposition are more biased towards the QS approach compared to the traditional medial parapatellar (MP) approach, which is still controversial. METHODS According to the PRISMA guidelines, a co...

Due to the high prevalence of opioid prescription following orthopedic procedures, there is a growing need establish an animal model system evaluate effects opioids on bone remodeling. Rabbits have been employed as organisms in research they exhibit well-defined cortical remodeling similar humans. Existing rabbits has limited modes administration that are short-acting and require repeated appli...

an experiment was conducted with two hundred and twenty day-old male broiler chicks (ross 308) in five groups to investigate the effects of different levels of 0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6% thyme extract in drinking water (including 27.4 mg sodium nitrate per liter) on broiler performance and antioxidantstatus and blood gas indices. no significant differences were observed between the treatments for bod...

in order to study the effect of deficit irrigation at reproductive growth stages on growth and grain yield of four sunflower cultivars namely: azargol, allstare, alison and euroflor, an experiment was conducted during the 2007 growing season at the experimental field of the agricultural faculty of bu-ali sina university. the experimental design was a split plot one, based upon a randomized comp...

Forty growing ram lambs (Lori-Bakhtiari breed) averaging 28 kg (±1.5) were allocated in this study to evaluate the optimal dietary energy density in a lamb fattening enterprise in Iran. The feed intake (FI), body weight (BW), gain to feed ratio (G:F) and carcass characteristics were studied. Four treatments differed in metabolizable energy content (ME) as follow; 2, 2.3, 2.6 and 2.9 Mcal/kg for...
