Zinnia is a very attractive and beautiful ornamental plant due to the diversity of color and flowering period. The effect of cycocel and pot size was studied on growth and flowering of zinnia in a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete design with two factors: cycocel at 3 levels (0, 1000 and 2000 ppm) and pot size at 4 levels (10, 12, 14 and 16 cm) with 12 treatments and 3 replica...

pot experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (edta) on some morphological characteristics of thlaspi caerulescens l., and also on the accumulation of lead (pb) and zinc (zn) in roots and shoots of t. caerulescens l.. experiments were then set up in three treated pots with doses of 3, 6 and 9 mmol kg-1 of edta and control pots (c: uncontaminated so...

SETTING Academic medical center. MEASUREMENTS The records of 13 patients with POTS, who underwent surgical procedures during general anesthesia, were studied. Details of disease management, anesthetic indu...

Introduction: One of the ways of human exposure to aluminum (Al) is Al food packaging materials and cookwares. Although many studies have examined the biotic influence of nanoparticles or ionic form of heavy metals, there are limited studies conducted on the possible health risks of metals in the form of alloy used for making utensils. In this study, the effect of water boiled in Al cookwares w...

This study was performed to evaluate breast muscle development in chicken genotypes divergently selected for muscularity. In the first experiment, 2 commercial broiler lines (a high breast yield, HBY, and a normal breast yield broiler strain-cross, NBY) and a Leghorn line were grown up to 35 d to evaluate BW, breast weight, and breast yield. At 7 and 21 d of age, pectoralis muscle was used to e...

OBJECTIVE To define the neuropathology, clinical phenotype, autonomic physiology and differentiating features in individuals with neuropathic and non-neuropathic postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS). METHODS Twenty-four subjects with POTS and 10 healthy control subjects had skin biopsy analysis of intra-epidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD), quantitative sensory testing (QST) and autonomic te...

Background & Aim: Aloe vera is used in the food and pharmaceutical as an aid to effective treatment. The purpose of this study is to improve growth, increase production of valuable metabolites and increase the sugars in Aloe vera gel with low cost and high efficiency under water stress conditions. Experimental: In this study, Aloe vera potted in greenhouse conditions...

Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser All strain was compared to Steinernema riobravis Cabanillas, Poinar, and Raulston for control of the root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.), in the laboratory and in potted citrus. In the laboratory bioassay, D. abbreviatus larvae were exposed to 30, 60, and 120 nematodes/cm(3) in sand. Insect mortality 1 week after application was greater (P </= 0.05) for S. rio...
