sunn pest (eurygaster integriceps put.) is one of the major pests of wheat in iran. identification of resistantcultivars is an effective integrated pest management (ipm) strategy. to identify the genetic response of wheat and triticale to sunn pest, and determine the relationship between resistance and morpho physiological traits, eight bread wheat breeding lines/cultivars, four durum wheat lin...

Intrigued by the notion that effective teaching is as much about relationship as it is about ‘technical’ proficiency, the author examines the values of teachers that inform classroom relationships, and poses the question as to whether there are particular teacher values that are necessary for quality values education. This question is addressed by focusing on the teaching strategies involved in...

In analogy with values of the classical Euler Γ-function at rational numbers and the Riemann ζ-function at positive integers, we consider Thakur’s geometric Γ-function evaluated at rational arguments and Carlitz ζ-values at positive integers. We prove that, when considered together, all of the algebraic relations among these special values arise from the standard functional equations of the Γ-f...

The aim of bioequivalence studies is the evaluation of bioequivalence of pharmaceutical products. The products are usually two and basic pharmacokinetic parameters such as AUC, C max and t max are used. These studies aim at investigating the “closeness” of the distributions of the pharmacokinetic parameters (responses) for the two products, which is made mainly by comparing the average values o...

Each person holds numerous values that represent what is believed to be important. As a result, our values influence our behavior and play a role in practical reasoning. Various argumentation approaches use values to justify actions, but they assume a function that determines what values a state or action promotes and demotes. However, this is often open for debate, since values are abstract an...

In 1920, the Dawson report advocated a population based approach to the organisation of health services, the allocation of resources, and the training of health care staff. It also introduced the concepts of primary and secondary levels of care and of primary care health centres. For several decades these ideas lay dormant, until medical specialisation, fragmentation of health services, and the...

We consider the values at proper fractions of the arithmetic gamma function and the values at positive integers of the zeta function for Fq [θ] and provide complete algebraic independence results for them.
