UNLABELLED The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of a moderate intensity strength training on changes in critical velocity (CV), anaerobic running distance (D'), sprint performance and Yo-Yo intermittent running test (Yo-Yo IR1) performances. METHODS two recreational soccer teams were divided in a soccer training only group (SO; n = 13) and a strength and soccer training gr...

In a semi-arid environment, the main challenge for crop production is water limitation in space and in time. Considered as appropriate tools, models are used to evaluate the effects of water deficit on crop productivity for better irrigation planning and sustainable yield. The AquaCrop model was tested using data collected during a 4-year experiment on soybean (Glycine max L. Merril) and s...

Sage (Salvia officinalis L) is a widespread aromatic and medicinal plant with various positive affects in human diet health. In order to investigate the interaction among bio-fertilization, density irrigation regimes, Salvia cultivation, an experimental field was established at University Farm of Thessaly, Velestino (Greece). The transplant carried out October 2016 experiment data concern heigh...

A new phosphorescent chemosensor for Hg(2+) and acetonitrile (MeCN) based on iridium(III) complex Ir(dpp)(2)(dtc) (Ir1, dppH = 4,6-diphenylpyrimidine, dtcH = diethyl dithiocarbamic acid) was realized. Upon addition of a tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution of Hg(2+), the dichloromethane (DCM) solution of Ir1 gave a visual color change and significant fluorescent quenching. When MeCN was added, a new ...

background and objectives: milk thistle (silybum marianum), a medicinal plant of the asteraceae family that have been used long time ago, in the treatment of liver disease. sowing date of this plant has not been determined, therefore, this study was necessary. this plant was identified as a weed, this plant is identified as a weed, while silymarin in the seeds are used in the anti-hepatitis and...

Simulation of crop systems has evolved from a neophyte science into a robust and increasingly accepted discipline. Our vision is that crop systems simulation can serve important roles in agriculture and environment. Important roles and uses of crop systems simulation are in five primary areas: (1) basic research synthesis and integration, where simulation is used to synthesize our understanding...

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of oral administration of a nitric oxide (NO) donor L-arginine (L-Arg), a NO synthase inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) and an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, allopurinol (Allo), on serum NO concentration and catalase activity after intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats. METHODS Male Wistar rats receivedper os L-Arg (800 mg/kg) or L-NAME ...

in order to investigate the response of cotton cultivars (gossypium hirsutum l.) to conventional-cropping and double-cropping systems a field experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized completely block design with three replications at gonabad agriculture and natural resources research station during growing season of 2009-2010. the treatments included of recommended planting da...
