AIM To investigate the effect of temperature-humidity index (THI) on the expression pattern of heat-shock protein 72 (HSP72) mRNA of Sahiwal and Karan-Fries (KF) cattle in different THIs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five different periods of a year were selected based on combinations of Tmax/Tmin, viz., P1: <20°C/<10°C; P2: >20°C/<10°C, P3: <30°C/<15°C; P4: >35°C/<20°C, and P5: >35°C/>20°C. The THI...

For m = 3, 4, . . . , the polygonal numbers of order m are given by pm(n) = (m−2) ` n 2 ́ +n (n = 0, 1, 2, . . . ). For positive integers a, b, c and i, j, k > 3 with max{i, j, k} > 5, we call the triple (api, bpj , cpk) universal if for any n = 0, 1, 2, . . . there are nonnegative integers x, y, z such that n = api(x)+bpj(y)+cpk(z). We show that there are only 95 candidates for universal triple...

BACKGROUND Few electroencephalography (EEG) data are available in anaesthetized infants. This study aimed to identify EEG characteristics that might warn of awakening (AW) from sevoflurane anaesthesia in infants. METHODS Twenty intubated infants [aged 39-77 weeks post-menstrual age (PMA)] were studied after surgery during sevoflurane wash-out. EEG was recorded at the end of surgery and throug...

Changes in the cellular mass and the cellular concentration of the highly phosphorylated inositol derivatives inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5) and inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) were observed during a complete cell cycle of proliferating rat thymocytes. Inositol polyphosphates were determined by a recently developed anion-exchange HPLC/post-column complexometric dye sy...

The expansion of the radiative transfer equation (RTE) into spherical harmonics results in the PNapproximation, consisting of (N + 1)2 simultaneous, first-order partial differential equations (PDEs). This system of equations is generally solved subject to a set of so-called Marshak’s boundary conditions, although some ambiguity exists in multi-dimensional media, for which the set provides more ...

An increasing ageing society and consequently rising number of post-stroke related neurological dysfunction patients are forcing the rehabilitation field to adapt to ever-growing demands. In parallel, an unprecedented number of research efforts and technological solutions meant for human monitoring are continuously influencing traditional methodologies, causing paradigm shifts; extending the th...

In Bacillus subtilis, the fatty acid moiety of the phospholipids was affected differently during growth in the presence of 1.1 M-methanol or 0.7 M-ethanol, though at these concentrations methanol and ethanol had the same effects on growth rate and completely inhibited sporulation. Synthesis of phosphatidylglycerol was also strongly inhibited and the amount of total cell phospholipids was reduce...

soil salinity is a serious problem in south khouzestan province. this study was conducted in shawoor agricultural research station, north of the city of ahwaz, on silty-clay soil with 8 dsm-1 salinity during 2006 and 2007. a completely randomized block design arranged in split plots with three replications was used. the plots (planting methods) were: broadcasting + disk harrow (p1), broadcastin...

Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder with a lifetime risk of about 1%, characterized by hallucinations, delusions and cognitive deficits, with heritability estimated at up to 80%. We performed a genome-wide association study of 3,322 European individuals with schizophrenia and 3,587 controls. Here we show, using two analytic approaches, the extent to which common genetic variation underlie...
