Small scale distribution of insect root herbivores may promote plant species diversity by creating patches of different herbivore pressure. However, determinants of small scale distribution of insect root herbivores, and impact of land use intensity on their small scale distribution are largely unknown. We sampled insect root herbivores and measured vegetation parameters and soil water content ...

Diffraction grating is periodic module used in many engineering fields, its geometrical conception gives interesting properties of diffraction and interferences, a uniform and periodic diffraction grating consists of a number of identical apertures that are equally spaced, in this case, the amplitude of intensity distribution in the far field region is generally modulated by diffraction pattern...

Eighty-eight types of mitochondrial (mt) DNA were found by sequencing the most variable part of the control region from 117 Caucasians. In the tree relating those types, most of the branching events occur about two-thirds of the way from the root of the tree to the tips of the branches. Moreover, the distribution of sequence differences between all possible pairs of individuals is approximately...

In conformity with programming to harvest from virgin resources of Myctophids (Benthosema pterotum) in the Oman Sea (Iranian waters), a series of research cruises and trial fishings were carried out from 1992 to 1998. Assessment of B. pterotum stocks was carried out using the data obtained from a series of seven cruises conducted by R/V Ferdows1 in the Iranian waters using modern scientific ech...

Sorosphaera viticola is a soil-borne, endophytic parasite of grapevine. It is classifi ed within the plasmodiophorids, an enigmatic group of obligate biotrophic parasites of higher plants. Sorosphaera viticola has been found abundantly in the roots of Vitis spp. in Germany and Canada. This may indicate a global distribution of this root parasite. But its biphasic life-cycle, its soil-borne natu...

This study of aortic root flow velocity profiles suggests that the flow velocity pattern is parabolic rather than flat as has been widely supposed. To analyze the distribution of flow velocity, a special ultrasound pulsed Doppler velocity flow meter, with a direct probe on the aortic wall, was designed. Sixteen patients, none with a diagnosis of aortic valve disease, were examined just before u...

abstract in order to identify of plant parasitic nematodes of rapeseed in isfahan and fars provinces, 208(96 from esfahan and 112 from fars province) soil and root samples were collected from rapeseed fields during 2005-2007. nematodes were extracted from root and soil , then fixed and transferred to glycerin. the nematodes were mounted on slides and examined by light microscope and identified ...

the population density and spatial distribution pattern of empoasca decipiens paoli were etermined in tehran area, iran, during 2004-2005 on four species of common bean phaseolus vulgaris (l.) var. talash, lima bean p. lunatus (l.) savi ex hassk. var. sadaf, rice bean p. calcaratus roxb. var. goli and cowpea vigna sinensis (l.) var. parastoo. the higher and lower mean population densities of e....

BACKGROUND This study explores the pattern of complications occurrence resulting from traumatic dental injuries, the relation of this pattern to the number of years from the time of the injury to its first diagnosis, and other contributing characteristics such as root development and trauma characteristic. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients' data treated following dental trauma from 2002 to 2014 w...
