Dietary lipids may affect sperm membrane structure, fluidity and its susceptibility to oxidative phenomena which may lead to altered sperm viability and proper binding to eggs. Given the recently demonstrated beneficial effects of fish oil diets on turkey fertility and embryo viability, the aim of this study was to test a caviar-derived marine product on spermatogenesis and sperm quality. Sixty...

Subchondral insufficiency fracture of the femoral head (SIFFH) is characterized by acute onset hip pain without overt trauma. It appears as a low intensity band with bone marrow edema on T1-weighted MRI. The most common course of treatment is protected weight bearing for a period of several weeks. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been commonly used if the patient does not respond to the initial...

This is a social force (SF) based model that treats the crowd as a collection of mass particles [1]. Newtonian-like physics is applied to the system to compute the trajectories of the agents. At each time step, the superposition of various forces are computed for each agent, ultimately determining a feasible velocity by imparting acceleration on the agent. The preferred velocity is converted in...

tomato is the most important agricultural crops in bushehr province. this experiment was conducted on a randomized complete block design (r.c.b.d.) with 15 treatments cultivars and 4 replications in the borazjan research station during two consecutive cropping seasons (1995-97) to find tomato cultivars with high yield and quality and suitable for the region. cultivars had been selected among 60...
