Suppose that cells divide with rate l, die with rate d, become quiescent with rate α, and “wake up” from quiescence with rate β. We will refer to parameters α and β as quiescence parameters. Note that the “amount of quiescence” in the colony correlates positively with α and negatively with β. Let us denote by i the number of cycling cells and by j the number of quiescent cells. The system’s sta...

influence of 13 soybean cultivars (356, m4, m7, m9, clark, sahar, jk, bp, williams, l17, zane, gorgan3 and dpx) on the life table parameters of the cotton bollworm, helicoverpa armigera (hã¼bner) was studied at 25 â± 1â°c, relative humidity of 65 â± 5% and a photoperiod of 16: 8 (l: d) h. the survival rate (lx) of individuals developed to adults from the initial cohort on the mentioned cultivar...

the common green lacewing is an important natural enemy used for pest control in greenhouses. it is also very common in many agricultural systems. hence, studying lethal and sublethal effects of insecticides on this predator would be useful. toxicity of endosulfan, imidacloprid and indoxacarb was assessed on 1st instar larvae of chrysoperla carnea (stephens) in laboratory. residual bioassays we...

OBJECTIVE: To measure radiologically obtained skull diameters and, based on these data, calculating the cranial index and size to compare with diameter measurements and indices reported in the literature, particularly those reported by Haas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study evaluated 732 individuals with no cranial disease, whose skull diameters were measured, Subsequently, the authors ...

the complex system containing n elements, each having three dependent components are described. the reliability and mean residual life of such systems with intact components at time t are investigated using a trivariate binomial model. considering a farlie-gumbel-morgenstern family, some graphical representations are given.

the side-effects of amitraz, buprofezin and propargite were studied on encarsia formosa (gahan)in the laboratory, using a life table response experiment and the iobc system for their toxicity. bioassayswere conducted by dipping bean leaves containing third instar nymphs of the whitefly trialeurodesvaporariorum (westwood), parasitized by e. formosa, in insecticide solutions or caging adult paras...

background and purpose: quality of life is a ubiquitous concept, and improving quality of life plays a pivotal role in the promotion of individual and social health. this parameter requires exclusive attention in case of students since quality of life remarkably affects learning and academic achievement.this study aimed to evaluate quality of life among the students of islamic azad university o...
