this study was performed to investigate the effect of different levels of irrigation water applied in tape drip irrigation on yield, seed yield components, oil yield, seed oil percent, and seed water use efficiency (wue) of two canola varieties in behbahan agriculture research station in 2009 and 2010 seasons. the experiment was performed in split plots as a randomized complete block design wit...

The possible association of ACE polymorphism with ischemic stroke (IS) was evaluated in 65 patients with IS and 330 age and BMI-matched controls. ACE genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). There was no significant difference in ACE genotype/allele frequencies between case and control group (p>0.05). Patients with D allele had 4,7 times higher risk for large vessel IS than...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the forage yield and morphological responses 34 cactus pear (Nopalea cochenillifera Opuntia ficus indica) genotypes. genotypes were planted in a randomized complete block design, with treatments three replicates. After 330 days cultivation, characteristics, plant mortality pest disease occurrence on plants assessed, cutting performed. Multivariate ana...

BACKGROUND The study was designed to explore the regular patterns of level V lymph node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and to indicate whether level V should be included in the management of lateral neck dissection when treating PTC. METHODS This retrospective study consisted of 330 patients diagnosed with PTC from January 1994 to July 2009 who underwent an operation t...

Vol. 216 No. 2 317–330 https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201609124 Introduction MAPK pathways sense aspects of the extracellular environment and transmit this information to regulate various cellular processes. Most proteins involved in the MAPK pathways were identified in the 1970s and 1980s and then were characterized and linked together in ...

330 NATURE | VOL 398 | 25 MARCH 1999 | www.nature.com characters, which allow a greater range of excursion of the shoulder joint in the locomotion of multituberculates and living therians, have evolved at least twice among the Mesozoic mammals. Alternatively, the mobile joints between the clavicle, interclavicle and scapula could be ancestral conditions shared by J. jenkinsi and the more derive...

It is well established that hypoxia causes excess accumulation of glutamate in developing neural tissues. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which glutamate can cause retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death through the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors (NR) in the developing retina. One-day-old Wistar rats were exposed to hypoxia for 2 hours and then killed at different time points. N...
