in order to investigate the efficacy of split, reduced and whole rates of oxyfluorfen in controlling redroot pigweed (amarnthus retroflexus) and also to evaluate possible soybean (glycine max) injuries a experiment was conducted in research greenhouses of karaj collage of agriculture, university of tehran in 2005. treatments included oxyfluorfen doses at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 l/ha in one stage ...

Background: It is known that acetylation level of the nuclear histones in cloned embryos is lower compare to normally developed embryos. Histone deacetylas inhibitors (HDACi) with improvement of acetylation level in these embryos can affect embryo quality in pre-implantation stage and expression level of different genes especially developmental genes. Materials and Methods: In this research, SA...

AIMS To evaluate relationships between clients' self-reported 'stage of change' and outcomes after treatment for alcohol problems. METHODS Using data from the 'United Kingdom Alcohol Treatment Trial', clients who had received at least one session of treatment and who had complete data (n = 392) entered the analysis. Two continuous measures of drinking behaviour (% days abstinent (PDA) and dri...

4032 Background: The strongest predictor of survival in patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer treated with primary surgical resection is stage. This study aimed to determine if surgical stage after pre-operative chemoradiotherapy predicted a similar survival pattern. METHODS Patients (n=42) received cisplatin, 5-FU and radiotherapy (RT) followed by esophagectomy. Pre- and post-trea...

With increasing population worldwide and the consumption of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitting limited fossil fuel resources, indispensable need seeking sustainable energy sources conversion methods have been realized that can offer possible alternative ways to substantially minimize biomass wastes even pre-treatments assisted biorefinery systems convert those into biofuels other bioproducts. Con...

Comminution is the stage with largest energy consumption in mining process. Therefore, several pre-treatments have been proposed to reduce requirements of this stage. This work analyzed effect a heating pre-treatment on Bond index. A conventional was applied Chilean copper ore. The ore heated temperatures from 300 600 °C using furnace, resulting reduction 19% Due pre-treatment, mineral cracked ...

sensitivity of tomato fruits to chilling injury limits its storage and marketability. this study investigated the effect of hot water treatment (hwt) on reducing the consequences of chilling injury (ci) with respect to quality attributes of tomatoes during storage. tomatoes were harvested at three ripening stages: mature green, pink, and red; dipped in hot water at 45°c for 15 min; and stored a...

Protection against malaria in humans can be achieved by repeated exposure to infected mosquito bites during prophylactic chloroquine treatment (chemoprophylaxis and sporozoites (CPS)). We established a new mouse model of CPS immunization to investigate the stage and strain-specificity of malaria immunity. Immunization with Plasmodium chabaudi by mosquito bite under chloroquine cover does not ge...
