Background and Purpose—In ischemic stroke, MR perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) mismatch represents tissue at risk for infarction. Infarct growth should only take place in the presence of mismatch, although there have been reports of this occurring. We hypothesized that this observation may be attributable to the presence of undetected “hidden mismatch,” whic...

a study was conducted to evaluate effects of age at weaning on various growth characteristics and stress measures of zandi lambs. the lambs were weaned at 45 and 90 days of age. the body weights and average daily gain (adg) were monitored during the experimental period and 5 months of age. cortisol, glucose, blood urea nitrogen (bun) and lamb behavior (agitation, vocalization) were recorded bef...

Understanding the impact of fire on the demography of savanna trees and shrubs is necessary for understanding human impacts in tropical savannas. In a replicated experiment, we studied the impact of fire and vegetation cover on survival and growth of two subshrubs (Periandra mediterranea and Protium ovatum), two shrubs (Miconia albicans and Rourea induta) and three trees (Myrsine guianensis, Pi...

Background & Aim: Milk thistle [Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn] is an annual or biennial plant, native to the Mediterranean area, which has spread in north and south of Iran. A fruit of milk thistle contains a relatively high amount (approx. 20%) of oil, which exhibits wound-healing, anti-burn, and hepatoprotective properties. Experimental: In this research, a pot experiment wa...

crops that better tolerate weed competition or preempt resources from weeds may reduce dependence on herbicides and benefit an integrated weed management program. a field trail was conducted to determine the morphophysiological characteristics affecting tolerance and weed suppressive ability of some winter wheat cultivars in competition with rocket. the experimental treatments consisted of eigh...
