ewes to superovulatory doses of PMSG. A subsequent report of a similar study of Welsh mountain ewes found no association between Hb type and response to PMSG (Trounson, Willadsen, Moor & Tucker, 1976). Egg-transfer experiments with Finnish Landrace (Finn) and Galway donors provided an op¬ portunity to extend the findings of Pant & Pandey (1975) and Trounson et al (1976). In addition to typing a...

the fabrication of a non-doped red organic light-emitting device (oled) has been developed using naturally occurring curcumin as an emissive layer of oled. in this research, the electroluminescent spectrum (el) of curcumin as a donor-acceptor-donor (d-a-d) chromophore was obtained at wavelength of 612 nm. also, the maximum external quantum efficiencies (eqe) for this device was measured and fou...

BACKGROUND Guidelines for safe gamete donation have emphasised donor screening, although none exist specifically for testing oocyte recipients. Pre-treatment assessment of anonymous donor oocyte IVF treatment in Ireland must comply with the European Union Tissues and Cells Directive (Directive 2004/23/EC). To determine the effectiveness of this Directive when applied to anonymous oocyte recipie...

the experiment was carried out in poultry experimental station belonging to nrc, cairo, egypt. a total of 120 fayoumi layers, 45 weeks old, were randomly divided into four equal groups. each group included three replicates (10 hens in each). the first group was fed the control diet containing 3.3% gram ca, whereas, the other three received diets containing 2.8, 2.6 and 2.4% gram ca, respectivel...

the study was conducted to determine the effects of turkey (meleagris gallopavo)egg weight on certain egg traits and hatching performance. a total of 178 turkey eggs comprising of three different egg weight groups below 60 g (g i), 61 to 69 g (g ii) and above 70 g (g iii) were used for this study. average egg weight (g), egg length (cm), egg breadth (cm) and egg volume (cm3) values increased wi...

a:4:{s:10:"Background";s:513:"Obesity has become a major health problem across the world. In women, it is known to cause anovulation, sub-fecundity, increased risk of fetal anomalies and miscarriage rates. However, in women going for assisted reproduction the effects of obesity on egg quality, embryo quality, clinical pregnancy, live birth rates are controversial To assess the effect of women's...

the hepatitis g virus (hgv) is a newly discovered rna virus, which is associated with acute or chronic hepatitis. a survey was conducted in thalassemic patients, intravenous drug users (ivdu) and blood donors aiming to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis g virus (hgv) infection in these groups in tehran. the presence of hgv rna in these populations was determined using reverse transcriptase...

introduction: human leukocyte antigen (hla) genes are the most polymorphic loci in the human genome. they predict the outcome of transplantation by detecting self from non-self antigens. the best use of hla typing is to find a hla-match donor for bmt candidate patients. evidence suggests that matching unrelated donors and recipients for hla-a, -b and -drb1 loci is a prediction for an improved o...
