Relationships between taste stimuli and heart rate were evaluated in 29 healthy university students. The test solutions were sucrose, NaCl, citric acid, quinine-HCl and monosodium glutamate (MSG). Heart rate increased by 7.1-13.6% for all the taste stimuli after use as compared with pre-stimuli values. The maximum increases in heart rate came approximately 25 s after the taste stimuli. After th...

to compare the yield and yield components of 10 promising dryland barley genotypes with a conventional cultivar (reihan03), a field experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design in miyaneh region in the 2010-2011 growing season, and their agronomic and morphological traits were recorded. genotypes were significantly different in terms of all the studied traits, and genoty...

objective: the cows that don’t have access to sufficient energy in their ration can get sickness. milk production has a high priority in metabolism of dairy cows so lactating cows are more prone to get sick this can ruin all the benefits of higher milk yield because of the higher prevalence of the disorders. methods: data for this research had gathered from a herd with 1600 holstein cattle in e...

1. Nutrient resource availability and host-plant foliar pubescence both influence arthropod food webs, but multifactor studies are needed to understand their interdependence and relative importance. Arthropods were sampled by clipping foliage from Metrosideros polymorpha (Myrtaceae) trees of pubescent, glabrous, and intermediate leaf forms on fertilised and unfertilised plots. 2. Fertilisation ...

Plant germplasm collections may offer genetic variability useful in identifying insect resistance. The goal of this project was to evaluate buffalograss genotypes [Buchloë dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.] for resistance to the chinch bug, Blissus occiduus Barber (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae), and to relate resistance to ploidy level, chinch bug number, and pubescence. Forty-eight buffalograss genotypes fr...
