Tetracosahexaenoic acid (THA, 24:6n-3) has been shown to have the strongest ability to suppress accumulation of lipids in HepG2 cells among well-known n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA. In this study, a method for mass production of THA was investigated using distributions of THA and DHA in thirty-two marine organisms, such as starfishes, right-eyed flounders, shellfishes,...

(1) Background: Metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) and resurfacing (HRA) was presumed to provide superior functional outcomes compared metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) THA. (2) Methods: We muscle mass, power, step test asymmetry, patient-reported between MoM THA/HRA MoP A of 51 THA/HRAs 23 THAs participated in the cross-sectional study at a mean 6.5 (2.4–12.5) years postoperatively. M...

A field experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of varying nitrogen (N) supply andirrigation methods on the root growth and distribution of maize (Zea mays L.) in Wuwei,northwest China in 2011 and 2012. The irrigation treatments included alternate furrow irrigation(AI), fixed furrow irrigation (FI) and conventional furrow irrigation (CI). The N supply treatmentsincluded alternate ...

Molecular markers are needed for enhancing the development of elite sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) cultivars with a wide range of commercially important traits in sub-Saharan Africa. This study was conducted to estimate the heritability and determine trait correlations of storage root yield, dry matter, starch and β-carotene content in a cross between 'New Kawogo' × 'Beauregard'. The st...

this research was conducted in order to evaluate genetic diversity, and screening the tolerant genotypes of sugar beet subjected to continuous and severe water stress in the experimental farm of sugar beet seed institute (sbsi) in karaj in 2008. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with 6 replications. fifteen o-types which were tolerant to drought plus 5 (check) genotypes we...

Objective: A field experiment was conducted at Dorud region, Iran, during 2013. The aim of this research  was study on effect of different biofertilizers and irrigation closed time on some agronomic characteristics of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). Methods: The experimental design was factorial based on RCBD with three replications. Treatments were three irrigation closed time [Oct-6 (...

An improvement in growth, condition, raw material quality, and resistance of vegetable plants to adverse stress conditions or agricultural pests can be achieved by using foliar-applied biostimulators. Cover cropping is also of great importance since it contributes, among others, to a better use of environmental conditions and fertilization by plants. In the period 2009–2011, a field experiment ...

Abstract Introduction We determined the association between frailty and 30-day mortality following total hip knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) due to osteoarthritis also impact of THA/TKA on compared a control population. Method used linked primary secondary care data Office for National Statistics data. Frailty was assessed using electronic index categorised as fit, mild, moderate, severe frailty. T...

To determine root growth and grain yield of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L) under moderate drought stress, a nursery experiment and a field trial were conducted with or without water stress using three representative cultivars released in different years: CW134 (old landrace), CH58 (modern cultivar) and CH1 (new release). In the nursery experiment, plants were grown in soil-filled rhizoboxes...
