Field trials with Spathiphyllum wallisii Regel were conducted at the experimental farm of Faculty of Agriculture, University Azad Jiroft in 2012 growth seasons. The aim of this work is to study the effect of foliar application with benzyladenine (BA) at 0, 100, 200 and 400 mg.L-1 and gibberellic acid (GA3) at 0, 100 and 200 mg.L-1 on the vegetative grow...

BACKGROUND This was a two-stage, phase II trial of the dual phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor BEZ235 in patients with everolimus-resistant pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNETs) (NCT01658436). PATIENTS AND METHODS In stage 1, 11 patients received 400 mg BEZ235 orally twice daily (bid). Due to tolerability concerns, a further 20 patients received BEZ235 3...

The present study explores the potential of exogenous auxins in the development of adventitious shoots and roots from shoot cuttings of Couroupita guianensis (Nagalingam), a threatened tree. Experiments were conducted to assess the effect of various concentrations of auxins on shoot and root morphological traits of stem cuttings in the greenhouse. Amongst the auxins tested, significant effects ...

this experiment was carried out at the college of agriculture university of salahaddin erbil. to study the effect of water supplementation with propolis on local quail performance, some physiological and immunological characteristics at 42 days old. a total of one thousand fifty (1050) hatched local quail eggs that obtained from the project of al-rashedia for agriculture researches center in mo...

BACKGROUND Foreign migrant workers with work permits in Thailand are given once a year 300 mg diethyl-carbamazine (DEC) for bancroftian filariasis, and 400 mg albendazole (ABZ) for helminthiasis. Treatment effectiveness, tolerability, and safety of two treatment arms, DEC + ABZ and DEC alone, had never been fully documented. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the tolerability of the two treatment arms and an...

the postharvest life of cut eustoma grandiflorum flowers is limited in open flowers. therefore a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with ascorbic acid (asa) at 4 levels (0, 100, 200, 300mg l-1) and citric acid (ca) at 3 levels (0, 100, 200 mg l-1) with 3 replications and 3 samples for each replications, was conducted for this purpose. results indicated that a significa...

Uptake of uranium (VI) ions using an anion exchanger resin, namely amberlite CG-400, was studied through this work in the presence of sulfate anions. Impact of various parameters including pH, contact time, initial concentration of uranium ions and intrusion with different anion contents (phosphate, chloride,sulfate, nitrate and fluoride) was examined on the sorption performance of the resin. A...

organic compounds including seaweed extract were applied in organic production system and sustainable agriculture. one of these compounds is humic acid that was used widely in research and commercial programs. humic acid is an organic acid obtained from humus and other natural resources with hormonal effects and improving nutrient absorption, increasing root and shoot biomass. in order to inves...

Co-application of Aspergillus niger (A. niger) and phosphate rocks (PR) has been practiced by environmentalists for lead (Pb) remediation. The secretion organic acid A. usually dominates the dissolution PR Pb immobilization. In this study, two types (fluorapatite (FAp) phosphogypsum (PG)) were investigated in remediation under three different forms nitrogen (ammonium, nitrate, urea). Our result...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of oxidized fat (yellow grease) and copper sulfate on performance, carcass traits, blood metabolites and immune cells of broilers. This study was carried out as a 3 × 2 factorial experiment with 3 levels of oxidized fat (0, 2 and 4%) and 2 levels of copper sulfate (0 and 300 mg/kg) in 6 treatments, 3 replicates and 12 ...
