AIM To report an increased incidence of sterile endophthalmitis following intravitreal injection of preserved triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) from 1 May to 31 July 2006. METHODS Charts were reviewed for all patients who underwent IVTA injections between 1 January 2005 and 31 July 2006 at the offices of a referral vitreo-retinal practice. Patients were included if they presented post-IVTA with ...

This study continues a long history of author co-citation analysis (and, more recently, author bibliographic coupling analysis) of the intellectual structure of information science (IS) into the time period of 2006-2010. It finds that Web technologies continue to drive developments, especially for the research front, although perhaps more indirectly than before. A broadening of perspectives is ...

During 2005 and 2006, marine pharmacology research directed towards the discovery and development of novel antitumour agents was reported in 171 peer-reviewed articles. The purpose of this article is to present a structured review of the antitumour and cytotoxic properties of 136 marine natural products, many of which are novel compounds that belong to diverse structural classes, including poly...

An alternative means by which to examine the importance of assimilates supply to flower and pod formation is to analyze the relationships of leaf area index (LAI), above-ground dry matter (ADM), leaf area duration (LAD) and crop growth rate (CGR) around flowering with flower number and pod/flower ratio. For this objective, an experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station of Gonbad, ...

according to variety of accessible hydrological models, evaluateing the efficiency of models for different management objectives are essential. therefore, models with simple structure and using minimal input that can provide an acceptable result can serve as an effective tool to watershed managers. hence, the objective of this research is to evaluate the relative performances of the lumped conc...

We present the BV light curves analysis of late-type, long-period stars 29 Dra, 12 Cam for the season 2005/2006, and shorter-period star II Peg for the same season. High latitude spots (alternatively spot configuration) cooler than surrounding photosphere were able to explain the light curves. The II Peg colourindex shift in H-R diagram is probably a consequence of stellar metallicity. Other as...
