diallel crosses of eight genotypes of safflower were conducted and f1 and f2 generations were evaluated to estimate genetic parameters for seed-quality related traits including protein contents (%), fiber, ash and oil yeild. griffing’s methods 1 and 2 for f1 and f2 generations was used, respectively. sixty four genotypes including 8 parents and 56 f1 progenies, and half diallel crosses of f2 ge...

background: tocotrienols (t3) were neglected in the past; today, get attentions due to their antioxidant and none‑antioxidant activity. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the daily intake of 200 mg t3 added in canola oil over 8 weeks on microalbuminuria, inflammation, and nitrosative stress in type 2 diabetic patients. methods: this study was a double‑blinded, placebo‑co...

BACKGROUND Natural oil seeps offer the opportunity to study the adaptation of ecosystems and the associated microbiota to long-term oil exposure. In the current study, we investigated a land-to-sea transition ecosystem called "Keri Lake" in Zakynthos Island, Greece. This ecosystem is unique due to asphalt oil springs found at several sites, a phenomenon already reported 2500 years ago. Sediment...

the essential oils of the aerial parts of a. armeniaca and a. incana , collected from arasbaran area (east azarbaijan province, iran) were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gc-ms. in total, 16 and 40 constituents were identified and quantified in the oils of a. armeniaca and a. incana representing 80.5% and 84.6% of the oils, respectively. the essential oil of a. armeniaca was main...

Molecular rotors may be utilized as non-invasive, non-disruptive and highly sensitive alternatives to conventional measures of bulk viscosity when the oil is entrained in a colloidal fat crystal network. Oil viscosity changes based on the molecular confinement of the oil, which is dependent on its molecular volume. Changes in micro-viscosity were not dependent on the solids content, but instead...

a r t i c l e i n f o JEL classification: E52 G10 G14 Keywords: High oil price events Asymmetric impacts of monetary shocks Financing constraints This paper investigates whether a high oil price event that worsens the quality of a firm's balance sheet in turn provides an additional transmission channel to the stock market, which then affects stock returns. We examine the asymmetric impacts of m...

purpose: to evaluate the efficacy of silicone oil injection after deep vitrectomy in infectious endophthalmitis regarding visual acuity. methods: this single-blind randomized clinical trial was performed on 50 cases of infectious endophthalmitis undergoing deep vitrectomy. patients were randomly assigned to two groups: in one group silicone oil was injected into the eye at the end of the operat...

the effect of various pesticides (diflubenzuro, malathion, mancozeb and carbendazim), disinfectants (calcium hypochlorite and formaldehyde) and oil cakes (sunflower and soy-bean oil cakes) commonly used as supplements in mushroom cultivation on the growth of the nematophagous fungus, arthrobotrys oligospora, was studied under in vitro conditions. carbenazim caused 99% inhibition of radial mycel...
