to investigate uterine and serum ca++ and mg++ variations during the estrous cycle in the bovine, 66 genital tracts and blood samples were collected from urmia abattoir, urmia, iran. the phase of the estrous cycle was determined by examination of the structures present on ovaries and uterine tonicity. of the collected samples, 17 were pro-estrus, 12 estrus, 14 metestrus and 23 diestrus. the ute...

there are many claims that quantum mechanics plays a key role in the origin and/or operation of biological organisms. the mechanism of the meiosis, mitosis and gametes life cycle from the view-point of quantum for human has been represented. the quantum gates have been used to simulate these processes for the first time. the reason of several hundred sperms has been explained in the male too

We apply three moveout-based methods for multiple suppression to simple synthetic common midpoint (CMP) gathers and compare their performance in terms of level of multiple rejection and, more importantly, in terms of (1) suitability of processed output for use in analysis of amplitude variations with offset (AVO), (2) primary-to-multiple amplitude (p/m) ratio of the data after CMP stacking, and...

associated with diabetes management. Cerkoney and Hart (1980) found that beliefs about the seriousness of diabetes and responding to cues to action were associated with adherence to treatment. Polly (1992) reported that perceived severity was associated with metabolic control, and perceived barriers were associated with adherence to treatment in older people with type 2 diabetes. Fitzgerald et ...

INTRODUCTION The gonadal steroid hormone estrogen (i.e., estradiol) seems to modulate higher order cognitive processes driven by dopamine (DA) such as learning, reward processing, working memory (WM), and inhibitory control (Hampson, 1990a,b; Maki et al., 2002; Caldu and Dreher, 2007; Dreher et al., 2007; Gasbarri et al., 2008; Colzato et al., 2010, 2012; Jacobs and D’Esposito, 2011). However, ...

in this paper, a multi-objective method is used to optimize a heat recovery steam generator (hrsg). two objective functions have been used in the optimization, which are irreversibility and hrsg equivalent volume. the former expresses the exergetic efficiency and the latter demonstrates the cost of the hrsg. decision variables are geometric and operational parameters of the hrsg. the results of...

in this study the reproductive organs of adult and apparently healthy female azarbaijan buffaloes werecollected after slaughter from abattoir. through observation of the ovaries, the luteal and follicular phases ofeach buffalo were specified. a total number of 36 oviducts at follicular phase and 36 oviducts at luteal phasewere collected and 3 tissue samples were taken from 3 regions of infundib...

our previous studies showed that the promyelocytic leukemia protein, pml, functions as acellular and growth suppressor. transient expression of pml was also found to repress the activity of theepidermal growth factor receptor (egfr) gene promoter. in this study, we have examined the effects ofpml on a431 cells, which express a high level of egfr protein. the pml gene was introduced into thecell...
