background & aim: st john's wort (hypericum perforatum l.) contains hypericin and hyperforin as the main components of the extract that binds with gaba and sigma opioid receptors. this herb has many pharmacological effects, including analgesic, sedative, soothing, antispasmodic, anticonvulsant, anti-depressant, and anti-bacteria. in this study examined the effect of two concentrations of hy...

IMPORTANCE Morphometric assessment has emerged as a strong predictor of postoperative morbidity and mortality. However, a gap exists in translating this knowledge to bedside decision making. We introduced a novel measure of patient-centered surgical risk assessment: morphometric age. OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between morphometric age and posttransplant survival. DATA SOURCES...

Data collected in 2012 on 400 chickens were subjected to two-way analyses of variance to estimatebody weight, morphometric traits as well as the correlationbetween body weight and morphometric traitsin Isa Brown and Ilorin ecotypechickens. The studied morphometric traits were comb length, beak length,head length, neck length, body length, wing length, shank length, thigh length, toe length, bre...

Morphometric methods have been used in diatom research for decades. We present a review of the history of usage of morphometric methods of outline shape analysis, pattern recognition, and landmarkbased analysis. In addition, we present how morphometric methods are important in diatom taxonomy and classifi cation and what connections exist between morphometric methods and biologically meaningful...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the morphometric and reproductive traits of indigenous dairy goat types. it was conducted in three districts (ebnat, gonji-kolela and farta) based on the agro-ecological differences, goat population potentials and experience of the farmers using goat milk. semi-structured questionnaires, field observations, morphological and reproductive trait measure...

Abstract This paper presents a robust approach using artificial neural networks in the form of a Self Organizing Map (SOM) as a semi-automatic method for analysis and identification of morphometric features in two completely different environments, the Man and Biosphere Reserve “Eastern Carpathians” (Central Europe) in a complex mountainous humid area and Yardangs in Lut Desert, Iran, a hyper...

 Traditional morphometric measurements and meristic counts were used to investigate the hypothesis of population fragmentation of Mash mahi, Aspius aspius taeniatus (Eichwald, 1831) among two fishing areas in southern Caspian Sea basin(Tonekabon:32 specimens  and Sari:34 specimens ). Univariate analysis of variance showed significant differences between the means of the two groups for 12 out of...
