the aim of the present study was to compare different periods of feed deprivation (day number of starvation in four physical feed restriction programs) on total immunuglobulins and lymphocytes percentage in pullets and cockerels of broiler breeder. a 4x2 factorial experiment based on a completely random design. 160 pullets and 160 cockerels of broiler breeder. feed intake content weekly was the...

objectives: the present study was carried out to investigate the relationship between different lunar phases and the occurrence of overdose attempted suicide. method: the study was carried out for a period of three lunar years (shaban 1416 to shaban 1419) with patients admitted to the intoxication emergency clinic at imam reza hospital in mashad. in this research, 13422 cases of suicide attempt...

This study documents the characteristics of the large-scale structures and diabatic heating and drying profiles observed during the Tropical Warm Pool–International Cloud Experiment (TWP-ICE), which was conducted in January–February 2006 in Darwin during the northern Australian monsoon season. The examined profiles exhibit significant variations between four distinct synoptic regimes that were ...

Background. Wrestling is one of the most popular sports in the world. United World Wrestling have developed “Wrestling+” injury prevention program similar to the FIFA 11+. Objectives. the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks “Wrestling+” warm-up program on Functional Movement Screen scores in cadet wrestlers. Methods. The study population included all cadet wrest...

The sporangiophores of Phycomyces do not exhibit phototropic responses when growth is arrested reversibly by cooling to 1 degrees C. Unilateral UV stimuli (254 nm) applied during cold periods are stored for at least 2 hr and produce tropic responses away from the light after warm-up. During the cold period dark adaptation proceeds at a rate which decreases with the temperature.

Studies of the impact of El Niño periods on marine species have usually focused on negative, highly visible eVects, e.g., decreasing growth rates or increasing mortality due to a decline in primary productivity in typically nutrient rich upwelling zones; but positive eVects related to elevated water temperature are also known. This study examined how the growth rate of juvenile white seabass, A...

Mutants affecting the period length of the biological clock in Chlamydomonas reinhardi have been isolated and a start has been made on analyzing the genetics of this system. In four mutants, the long period characteristic seems to be controlled by single genes at separate loci. Crosses between single mutants, as well as crosses involving three or four mutant genes, yielded progeny with periods ...

The possibility of resuscitating livers after warm ischaemia has been recently suggested. The aim of the present investigation was to analyse the effects of anoxia on the morphology of hepatic cells, to determine whether these effects are reversible after providing a resuscitation period between warm ischaemia (WI) and cooling, and to study the behaviour of the resuscitated liver in the recipie...
