A new species of the hypoptopomatine genus Hisonotus (Loricariidae) is described from a small tributary of the upper rı́o Uruguay basin near the border between Uruguay and Brazil. The new species can be distinguished from all other congeners by the following combination of characters: (1) presence of serrae along distal two thirds of posterior margin of pectoral-fin spine (versus serrae absent, ...

barley is a kind of cereal that contains high amounts of β-glucan. β-glucan is a major component of soluble fiber implicated in hypocholesterolemia, hypoglycemia, diabetes and heart attacks. investigations show that hull-less barley has more β-glucan than hulled barley. in this study the physical and chemical properties of hull-less barley (ehds 18), wheat (zarrin) varitiese, barley flour, and ...

We investigated light acclimation in seedlings of the temperate oak Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl. and the co-occurring sub-Mediterranean oak Quercus pyrenaica Willd. Seedlings were raised in a greenhouse for 1 year in either 70 (HL) or 5.3% (LL) of ambient irradiance of full sunlight, and, in the following year, subsets of the LL-grown seedlings were transferred to HL either before leaf flushi...

Although it is a combination of many factors that impacts the maintenance or loss of HL, such as personal motivation and determination (Krashen, 1998), ethnic pride (Brown, 2003, 2009), availability of heritage language schools in communities (Shibata, 2000), and availability of HL at school (Cho & Krashen, 1998), studies have identified parental support and involvement as perhaps the most impo...

Background There is a lack of research considering acute fatigue responses to high- and low-load resistance training as well as the comparison between male and female responses. Furthermore, limited studies have considered fatigue response testing with the inclusion of perceptions of discomfort and exertion. Methods The present study included males (n = 9; 23.8 ± 6.4 years; 176.7 ± 6.2 cm; 73...

to investigate variation and detect of genomic regions controlling quality and quantity of malt extract in barely, a study was conducted using a set of 72 double haploid barley lines as well as their parents (stepto & morex) at experimental stations of university of mahabad and agricultural research center of mian'doab in rcbd with two replications during cropping season (2011-12). differe...
