developments have improved the diagnosis and therapy of uveitic entities. Advances in diagnostics including imaging technologies such as laser flare photometry, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, ultrasonography, optical coherence tomography, confocal scanning and electrophysiologic studies on one hand, and microbiological techniques on the other, have led to a better under...

Aims: Frequent investigation of the patient for determining sedation level is one of the main measures in care of critically ill patient especially after heart surgeries. Riker scale is a valid and reliable tool which has been used in different studies as sedation-agitation scale in patients hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This study had been done with the aim of “investigating the e...

We present a statistical analysis of network and internetwork properties in the photosphere and the chromosphere. For the first time we simultaneously observed (a) the four Stokes parameters of the photospheric iron line pair at 630.2 nm and (b) the intensity profile of the Ca H line at 396.8 nm. The vector magnetic field was inferred from the inversion of the iron lines. We aim at an understan...

Nano-fertilizers are designed in order to gradually release their food contents. They are also manufactured in such a way that the time of their liberation matches with the food product requirement. The use of nano-fertilizers leads to an increase in the efficiency of the consumption of food elements. With regard to the strategic importance of cotton plant and the effects of zinc in increasing ...

In order to investigate the influence of sulfur coated seeds in SCS (a moisture absorbent polymer layer on seeds) on physiological traits of cotton, a field experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with factorial arrangement with 3 replications. Three planting date included early (E), optimum (O), and delayed (D) planting time. Seed coating priming treatments consisted of F (fuz...
