A central theme in the field of ecology is understanding how environmental variables influence a species’ distribution. In last 20 years, there has been particular attention given to adaptive physiological traits that allow some species persist urban environments. However, no clear consensus on urbanization influences physiology, and it unclear whether differences birds are directly linked adve...

background: basic science studies evaluation is important feature for an effective implementation of diabetes research and funding policy. this study aimed to provide an evaluation of diabetes basic research output up to 2015 in iran. methods: data were retrieved from scientific search engine including pubmed, web of science, scopus as well as iranian science databases including sid, iranmedex,...

Cortical physiology in human motor cortex is influenced by behavioral motor training (MT) as well as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation protocol such as intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS). This study aimed to test whether MT and iTBS can interact with each other to produce additive changes in motor cortical physiology. We hypothesized that potential interaction between MT and...

Preand post-harvest physiology and quality responses of green pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv ‘Standar p.13/0211003-01-Agris’) on exogenous Gibberellic acid-GA3 (100 μM), ProhexadioneCalcium (100 mg l), Cycocel (100 mg l) and Ethephon (100 mg l) applied as foliar sprays, were investigated. Among PGRs, GA3 @ 100μM was effective in promoting flowering and better for vegetative characteristics. Chlo...

BACKGROUND The weightlessness caused by prolonged bed rest results in changes in cerebral circulation and thus, brain functions, which is of interest. METHODS We investigated the effects of 45-day, -6° head-down bed rest, which stimulated microgravity, on working memory in 16 healthy male participants. The 2-back task was used to test the working memory variations on the 2nd day before bed re...
