Pistachio is the most important nut that is produced in Iran. Little research has been done to examine the effect of UCB1-hybride rootstock plants as tissue culture for pistachios (2011 in Toba company).This study aims to evaluate three pistachio varieties on UCB1 hybrid rootstock.  The experiment was conducted as a randomized complete block design with three treatment groups (including Ohadi, ...

Two-year-old branches on control trees (Pinus strobus L.) were compared through a season with branches on trees stem-girdled just above, or below, the branch whorl. All branches first sagged down for 20 days and then moved up for 40 days. Then, control branches reversed and moved back down while branches in both girdle treatments continued to move up. Movement reversal correlated with cessation...

Our purpose was to define arteriolar network hemodynamics during moderate increases in interstitial adenosine or nitric oxide in the hamster (n = 34, pentobarbital sodium 70 mg/kg) cheek pouch tissue. The network consists of a feed arteriole (approximately 12-microm diameter, approximately 800-microm length) with three to six branches. Observations of diameter, red blood cell flux, and velocity...

Here we denote a diameter six tree by (a0; a1, a2, . . . , am; b1, b2, . . . , bn; c1, c2, . . . , cr), where a0 is the center of the tree; ai, i = 1, 2, . . . ,m, bj , j = 1, 2, . . . , n, and ck, k = 1, 2, . . . , r are the vertices of the tree adjacent to a0; each ai is the center of a diameter four tree, each bj is the center of a star, and each ck is a pendant vertex. Here we give graceful...

The tropical arboreal environment is a mechanically complex and varied habitat. Arboreal inhabitants must adapt to changes in the compliance and stability of supports when moving around trees. Because the orangutan is the largest habitual arboreal inhabitant, it is unusually susceptible to branch compliance and stability and therefore represents a unique animal model to help investigate how ani...

Most mammals use lateral sequence gaits during quadrupedal locomotion, a pattern characterized by the touchdown of a forelimb directly following the ipsilateral hind limb in a given stride cycle. Primates, however, tend to use diagonal sequence (DS) gaits, whereby it is the touchdown of a contralateral forelimb that follows that of a given hind limb most closely in time. A number of scenarios h...
