Potato virus Y (PVY) as one of the serious diseases on tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), reduces leaf yield and its quality. Use of re-sistant genotypes is being considered as the most effective, economical and a safe way to reduce damages of the virus. In the present study, the response of 90 oriental and semi-oriental tobacco genotypes was evaluated against PVY using randomized complete block d...

BACKGROUND Positive margins after breast conservation surgery occur frequently and negatively influence local control rates. HYPOTHESIS Preoperative breast ultrasonography reduces the incidence of positive margins during breast conservation surgery. DESIGN Case-control analysis. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTION One hundred twenty-two consecutive patients with invasive breast cancer were studied....

the aim of this study was to show the effect of four feeding regimes on thyroid hormones concentrations, growth performance and food coefficient in rainbow trout applied through 4 treatments and 3 replications in winter 2006. in this research, samples of rainbow trout with an initial mean weight (so) 47.19±0.42 used in each rearing unite. fish were fed twice a day ad libitum as follows: treatme...

It is well known and often repeated that publicly available digital data encourages basic and collaborative research including the comparison of results across studies, the measurement of inter-annotator consistency and the use of stable data as a benchmark with which to compare new models and methodologies. Instances of such reuse abound. The reuse and re-annotation of the Switchboard and TDT ...

When mapping high-throughput signal processing applications onto heterogeneous platforms, parts of these applications will most likely be mapped into re-configurable components. The current trend of automating such mappings assumes that one can transform application specification to implementation specification without delving deep into details. This implies that one has to rely on the (re-)use...
