BACKGROUND End-stage renal disease patients have a dysfunctional, prematurely aged peripheral T-cell system. Here we hypothesized that the degree of premature T-cell ageing before kidney transplantation predicts the risk for early acute allograft rejection (EAR). METHODS 222 living donor kidney transplant recipients were prospectively analyzed. EAR was defined as biopsy proven acute allograft...

Anthropologists are commonly believed that characteristics and the shapes of the human external ear are extensively different. The objective of this study is to explore the potential of anthropometric data from external ear in individualization of monozygotic twin which also known as identical twin. Data of external ear features using 16 landmarks along with the measurements of inter-landmark l...

The study on the yield parameters and morpho-biometric characterization of twenty genotypic varieties durum wheat (Triticum Desf.) was carried out in sub-humid region El Harrouch Algeria. A descriptive sheet according to recommendations UPOV (2014-2017) calculation Shannon Weaver diversity index prepared with 27 qualitative characters one quantitative character relating different parts ear. par...

This research was conducted to determine the relationship between seed developmental characteristics and yield components in a population of maize (Zea mays L.) grown at different potassium fertilizer rates. The information could be utilized as alternative selection criteria for genotypes with high-yielding potential. Experimental field Horticulture Seed Agency, Pekanbaru. Seven four rates were...

The influence of monaural acoustic deprivation on the size of dendrites in n. laminaris in the chick was examined. Chicks were raised in a controlled aco~stic environment with one ear occluded from 2 days prior to hatching untI125 days after hatching by an earplug which provided a conductive hearing loss of approximately 40 dB across the audible frequency range. Each n. laminaris cell receives ...

Maize is one of the most important crops, both worldwide and in Romania, preserving diversity biological material used breeding this plant particular importance. The Agricultural Research Development Station (ARDS) Turda, inbred lines collection includes its own genotypes some obtained as a result germplasm exchanges with other institutions country or abroad. In present study, 575 created at Tu...

Organization of the vertebrate inner ear is mainly dependent on localized signals from surrounding tissues. Previous studies demonstrated that sonic hedgehog (Shh) secreted from the floor plate and notochord is required for specification of ventral (auditory) and dorsal (vestibular) inner ear structures, yet it was not clear how this signaling activity is propagated. To elucidate the molecular ...

BACKGROUND Hollow earmolds have become a popular type of earmold used in thin-tube, microsize hearing aid fittings. It is desirable for clinicians to be familiar with their characteristics and limitations. PURPOSE This investigation compared the effects of vent diameter between a traditional solid earmold and a hollow earmold that is used in modern thin-tube hearing aid fittings. RESEARCH D...

The current study was undertaken to analyze the genetic variability, correlation and path for yield its attributing traits at agriculture research farm, Department of Genetics Plant Breeding, School Agriculture, Lovely Professional University, Punjab during Rabi 2021-22 2022-23. Augmented design with F2 seeds planted in ear row fashion 4 rows were used including 2 parent 6 F2’s 9 viz. plant hei...

Realizing high-quality and increased production of fresh corn promoting diversified development the industry structure not only can effectively promote agricultural economy, but also enrich people’s dietary culture. However, existing machinery has a high rate ear damage during harvesting process, overall efficiency is ideal. To reduce corn, device for breaking ears was designed based on directi...
