A major concern of orthopedic surgeons in managing children with idiopathic scoliosis with a minor curvature is identifying how many and which curves will progress to severe deformities requiring treatment [1, 3–12, 14, 15]. Accurate identification of curves destined to progress requires a clear understanding of the natural history of idiopathic scoliosis. In this regard, school screening has b...

Turcicum Leaf Blight (TLB) is a common foliar disease of maize. The aim this study was to find quantitative trait loci (QTL) for TLB resistance in By crossing two inbred lines, CM 212 (susceptible) and 145 (resistant), mapping population developed, which evaluated environments namely E1 (Varanasi, U.P., India; 250 N, 830 E) E2 (Nagenahalli, Karnataka, 120 760 E). Data on four severity traits vi...

In the educational context it is examined the teacher-stress association. The teacher’s stress is related with variables of academic environment, of out of the school and of the teacher. The impact of that association can be see in the teacher’s health, in his achievement and in the quality of the teaching-learning process. With the objective to present one view of how issue is being considered...

MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST) follows the movement of fluorescent-labelled biomolecules with different sizes along a temperature gradient.

sclerotinia stem rot (ssr), caused by sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the most important diseases of canola (brassica napus) in golestan province, the leading canola producer in iran. in order to assess the yield loss of canola caused by ssr, 80 fields were surveyed in four different regions of the province (gorgan, ali abad, kalaleh and gonbad) during 2006-2007, and ssr intensity was recor...

The secular trend of seawater strontium isotope ratio ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) reflects changes in the relative contributions continental versus mantle reservoirs to ocean composition, and informs global tectonic events, weathering rates biogeochemical cycling through Earth history. However, Precambrian Sr curve is known far less detail than its Phanerozoic counterpart. For this study, we compiled 2249 ...

in order to determine the resistance levels and the most suitable potato genotypes to the early blight, an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized factorial design with three replications, in national plant gene bank of iran during 2007-2008. factors included pathogenic fungus, a. tenuissima and a. alternata and six potato genotypes, picasso, marfona, delta, agria, cosmos and armida...

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most common form of Idiopathic Scoliosis (IS) with a prevalence of 3% 5.2% among children [1]. Disease progression and sequelae depend on the location, severity, and rate of progression of the curve. Curves tend to progress most rapidly during growth phases [1,2]. Treatments and are focused on early bracing to stem curve progression and surgical curv...
