in order to evaluate of drought tolerance in different canola varieties based on stress evaluation indices in terminal growth duration, an experiment was conducted as split-plot design on randomized complete block design with four replications at experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute, karaj in 2005 and 2006. results using stress susceptibility index (ssi) and tolerance inde...

PURPOSE The aim of the 2016 quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) reconstruction challenge was to test the ability of various QSM algorithms to recover the underlying susceptibility from phase data faithfully. METHODS Gradient-echo images of a healthy volunteer acquired at 3T in a single orientation with 1.06 mm isotropic resolution. A reference susceptibility map was provided, which was ...

We have performed exome-wide association studies to identify genetic variants that influence body mass index or confer susceptibility to obesity or metabolic syndrome in Japanese. The exome-wide association study for body mass index included 12,890 subjects, and those for obesity and metabolic syndrome included 12,968 subjects (3954 individuals with obesity, 9014 controls) and 6817 subjects (39...

introduction: it has been shown that low levels of pigmentation increase susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss in humans. for this reason, white populations develop more pronounced noise- induced hearing loss in comparison to black populations. similarly, blue-eyed individuals exhibit greater temporary threshold shift than brown-eyed subjects; still, no strong correlation has been verifi...

Abstract Fresh fruits like bananas are very susceptible to mechanical damage during postharvest handling which can result in a substantial decline quality. The study aims evaluate the effect of bruise and storage temperatures on quality banana after 48 h storage. Each ‘Grand Naine’ fruit was impacted once by using drop impact test three different heights (10, 30, 50 cm) (13 22 °C) Different ana...

background candida species are normal microflora of  oral cavity, vagina, and gastrointestinal  tract. they are the third most prevalent cause of pediatric health care–associated  bloodstream fungal infection. this study aimed to provide an epidemiological feature of candidiasis and also presents an antifungal susceptibility profile of clinical candida isolates among children. materials and met...

Background & Aims: Fungal infections are among the most common life threatening conditions in patients with hematologic malignancies. The present study was carried out on children hospitalized in Amir Oncology Hospital of Shiraz, Iran, in order to determine the prevalence of fungal infections and respective susceptibility patterns to prophylactic antifungal therapies. Methods: Colonization was ...
