A split plot factorial experiment in RCBD with 3 replications was performed in 2012-2013. Three sesame cultivars namely Biarjomand native, Dashtestan 2, and Darab 1 in the main plot were subjected to drought stress at different growth stages, i.e., control (full irrigation), withdrawing irrigation at 69 BBCH (end of flowering stage) and withdrawing irrigation at 79 BBCH (fully grown fruits). Tw...

During the last decade a great deal of scientific research has helped to establish the biological value of human breast milk. Starting with the nutrient and anti-infective properties we have now come to realise that breast milk is a live substance carrying at least two different populations of living cells each with a distinct biological property of its own (Ogra & Ogra, 1978). Furthermore, the...

The present work aimed at investigating changes in growth and some metabolic activities in NaCl-stressed bean plants, and assessing the role of ascorbic acid to alleviate these changes. The field experiment was carried out to study the response of presoaked fava bean seeds (Vicia fava cv. Misr 2) in freshly prepared ascorbic acid (50 ppm ≈ 0.3 mM; as recommended dose as described by  El-Tayeb, ...

Many workers believe that the association between serum cholesterol concentration and ischaemic heart disease is one of cause and effect and it is reported that a 10 % decrease in serum cholesterol is associated with a 27 % reduction in the risk of ischaemic heart disease (Law et al. 1994b) achieved after 5 or more years (Law et al. 1994a). The chief dietary determinants of plasma total cholest...

MODERN computer systems face increasing demands for high performance, programmability, and low power under tight time-to-market, budget and reliability constraints. Because of the conflicting nature of many of these requirements, adaptive systems are being put forward as efficacious and efficient solutions for many applications whereby the same system can be harnessed to meet timevarying requir...
