During May 1988 a 1230-m ice thickness profile was drilled across a floe in Fram Strait. The probability density function of this data set corresponds closely to extensive ice draft measurements from submarines and the thickness distribution of floes sampled randomly in the area. The observed similarity is attributed to the topography of the pack ice in Fram Strait where each floe is composed o...

the main purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of the photoperiod on the seminal traits of crossbreed wool-producing rams throughout on year period. for the effect of photoperiod two periods were considered: decreasing daylight length (summer and autumn) and increasing daylight length (winter and spring). for the study 5 baluchi × moghani (bl×mg) and 5 arkharmerino × moghani (am×m...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dilution rate and holding time on various motility parameters using computer-assisted sperm analysis (casa). the semen samples were collected from three ghezel rams. samples were diluted in seminal plasma (sp), phosphate-buffered saline (pbs) containing 1% bovine serum albumin (bsa) and bioexcell. the motility parameters that computed and rec...
