as compared to ksc 704 hybrid with 9.844 t/ha, the maize hybrid, ksc 705(k3640/3 × mo17) produced an average grain yield of 11.120 t/ha over seven locations evaluated in final trials for two consecutive years (2007-8). in advanced yield trials done in 2011, across seven locations, this hybrid performed the highest grain yield, 10.450 t/ha, while ksc 704 produced 8.513 t/ha. in addition to the g...

We have introduced sequences encoding the lac repressor of Escherichia coli into the genome of the mouse. One sequence was derived from the bacterial lac operon and the other was created by reencoding the amino acid sequence of l a d with mammalian codons. Both versions are driven by an identical promoter fragment derived from the human 0-actin locus and were microinjected into genetically iden...

conclusions the prevalence of high-risk behaviors among street children in southeast iran is almost high. in this regard, street vendors and children who their parents are illiterate or have been separated are more at risk. generally, principal organizing these children and family education could decline their problems. however, these actions need intersectoral collaboration in society. backgro...

patients and methods one hundred thirty-eight clinical specimens collected from different wards of imam reza hospital were identified to the species level by biochemical tests. antimicrobial susceptibility tests against kanamycin, teicoplanin, streptomycin, imipenem, ciprofloxacin, and ampicillin were performed by the disk diffusion method. the minimum inhibitory concentrations of gentamicin, s...

objective: persian leek is one of the most widely used herbal foods among iranians. in this study, effects of oral administration of persian leek on plasma and liver lipids were examined in hamster. materials and methods: male syrian hamsters were randomly divided into three groups: control (standard diet), high fat control (high-fat/high-cholesterol diet), persian leek (high-fat/high-cholester...

this study investigated the influence of nanoclay on the impact damage resistance of glass fiber-epoxy composites under high velocity ice impact loading. addition of 0.5 wt. % nanoclay into epoxy was shown to improve damage resistance compared to composite plates having no nanoclay platelet. the glass fiber-epoxy composites containing nanoclay brought about substantial improvement in ice impact...

the paper presents results of experimental studies on the methane and propane ignition process in various volumetric compositions of oxidizers heated to temperatures higher than ignition point of analyzed fuels (htac conditions–high temperature air combustion conditions). the increment of temperature dt and the ignition delay time tig are parameters characterizing the process of ignition under ...

background: tuberculosis is one of the infectious diseases worldwide that has resurgence by the aids epidemic and led to the rise of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients. thus, it seems essential to monitor the drug susceptibility in tuberculosis patients. the new high resolution melting (hrm) method is simple, rapid and inexpensive for detection of the mutations responsible for drug resistance...
