Background & Aim: The aim of this research is investigation and familiarity with the important herbal drugs that have used for traditional curing of animal diseases in different areas of Kerman province, Iran. From a long time ago native farmers and tribes of different regions used the available natural herbs which existed in those regions to cure animal diseases in different areas of Kerman pr...

The section sensitivity profile (SSP) was well understood in the case of single-row-detector spiral CT. With the introduction of multi-row-detector spiral CT and the transition into cone-beam spiral CT, a revisit to the SSP issue becomes necessary. In this paper, the SSP of multi-row-detector spiral CT is formulated for the half-scan interpolation method at any transverse position. Based on the...

BACKGROUND Array CGH is the criterion standard for identifying copy number variations (CNV), but the restrictive requirement of DNA quality and relatively high cost prevent the use of this method as a general assay in hospitals in developing countries. Our principal objective was to determine whether the semiconductor sequencing platform (SSP) could be an alternative method in CNV detection for...

A serine protease (SSP) of Serratia marcescens is one of the extracellular enzymes secreted from this Gram-negative bacterium. SSP is produced as a large precursor and converted to a mature protein by cleavages removing an NH2-terminal signal sequence and a COOH-terminal pro-region. This COOH-terminal pro-region is integrated into the outer membrane and has a functional role for the export of t...

Two genetic linkage maps of cultivated maize inbred lines and teosinte species were constructed. One population comprised 81 F(2) individuals derived from a cross between maize inbred line B73 and Zea mays ssp parviglumis, while the second consisted of 63 backcross individuals from a cross of maize inbred line B73 with Z. mays ssp diploperennis. In the B73 x Z. mays ssp parviglumis F(2) p...
