In the Mediterranean region of southern Europe, Castanea sativa Mill. ( ) coppice stands are being invaded by non-native pioneer tree species due to recurrent coppicing and wildfire disturbances. There is a need control spread in coppices their pivotal socio-economic role, however, facilitate this, further research into invasive strategies interactions with disturbances required. The Robinia ps...

Species in the genus Castanea Mill. are one of the worthwhile species in the Hyrcanian forest of west Guilan (N Iran) with low region such as Siahmazgi, Ghalerodkhan and Visrod. that do not have good condition by reason of human interfering and disease. They have varying economic importance as nut tree crops, therefore, DNA barcoding technique can be a straightforward method for taxonomic statu...

Cells with stem-like properties, tumorigenic potential, and treatment-resistant phenotypes have been identified in many human malignancies. Based on the properties they share with nonneoplastic stem cells or their ability to initiate and propagate tumors in vivo, such cells were designated as cancer stem (stem-like) or tumor initiating/propagating cells. Owing to their implication in treatment ...

The current standard methods for determination of seagrass status and trends involve mapping from 1:24,000 scale true color, not color infrared, aerial photography (NOAA-CSC 2001). Analysis of this scale color photography for seagrass distribution has traditionally been performed by photointerpretation of 9” x 9” positive phototransparencies, followed by digitization of seagrass polygons from m...
