Objective: In order to study genetic variation and effect of drought stress on grain yield and some morphological traits in chickpea, an experiment was conducted on 64 genotypes during 2013-2014 cropping season at deputy of Kermanshah Sararood Dry Land Agricultural Research Institute, located on the western part of Iran. Methods: The experimental design was a randomized lattice design with tow ...

Objective Evaluate the correlation between Friedman Tongue Position (FTP) and airway cephalometrics in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Study Design Retrospective review of adult patients with OSA undergoing Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Methods Collected data included age, sex, body mass index, apnea hypopnea index, FTP, and airway cephalometric parameters. Data analyse...

For λ ∈ (0,1) and x,y > 0 we obtain the best possible constants p and r , such that erf(Mp(x,y;λ)) λ erf(x)+(1−λ) erf(y) erf(Mr(x,y;λ)) where erf(x) = 2 √π ∫ x 0 e −tdt and Mp(x,y;λ) = (λxp + (1− λ)yp)1/p(p = 0) , M0(x,y;λ) = xλ y1−λ are error function and weighted power mean, respectively. Furthermore, using these results, we generalized and complement an inequality due to Alzer.

Invasive alien plants pose severe threats to agroecosystems. Microplastic (MP) contamination in farmland soil is also concerning, as it causes crop stress and reduces productivity. However, the effects of interactions between invasive MP impact crops remain unclear. Herein, belowground plant characteristics associated with responses were examined a pot experiment using root scan analyzes rice e...

BACKGROUND Recently, some groups have reported on cell-free synthesis of functional membrane proteins (MPs) in the presence of exogenous liposomes (liposomes). Previously, we reported synthesis of a functional AtPPT1 plant phosphate transporter that was associated with liposomes during translation. However, it is unclear whether or not lipid/MP complex formation is common to all types of MPs in...

The risk for thrombosis is significantly increased in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), affecting both venous and arterial vessels. Activated platelets are known to participate in thrombus formation and growth. A general feature of activated cells is the shedding of microparticles (MP) which support coagulation by exposure of negatively charged phospholipids and possibly tissue factor (TF). I...

Aims To determine if an intensified form of heart failure management programme (INT-HF-MP) based on individual profiling is superior to standard management (SM) in reducing health care costs during 12-month follow-up (primary endpoint). Methods and results A multicentre randomized trial involving 787 patients (full analysis set) discharged from four tertiary hospitals with chronic HF who were...
