Mechanical analysis has been shown to be complementary to luminal stenosis in assessing atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability. However, patient-specific material properties are not available and the effect of material properties variability has not been fully quantified. Media and fibrous cap (FC) strips from carotid endarterectomy samples were classified into hard, intermediate and soft accordi...

this study aimed to assess the response of chickpea genotypes to drought stress in terms of morphological traits and subsequent biochemical changes to further understanding of drought resistance mechanisms in plants and access to better genetic resources. the chickpea genotypes including mcc776, mcc877, mcc696 and mcc588 evaluated at four soil moisture regimes with field capacity (control), 75%...

to evaluate the effects of drought stress and re-watering on nodal roots initiation and growth, two glasshouse experiments were conducted in commonwealth scientific and industrial research organization (csiro) in australia during 2008-2009. the experimental designs in both experiments were factorial in a randomized complete block design with two factors. first factor was drought stress and seco...

in order to comparison and determination of the best drought tolerance indices in sweet corn hybrids, an experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design in split plot lay out with three replications at seed and plant improvement institute in karaj in 2006. three irrigation levels (irrigation after 75 as control, 100 and 125 millimeters cumulative evaporation from class a evapo...

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the exogenous application salicylic acid (SA) on morpho-physiological and molecular characteristics Impatiens walleriana plants grown under water deficit stress. Three levels soil contents (95, 85, 75% field capacity; FC) three SA (0, 1, 2 mM) were applied two impatient cultivars (‘Tempo’ ‘Salmon’). results showed that increasing stress negatively a...

background: stress is a nonspecific reaction to everything the body needs. although occupational stress exists in every occupation, it is seen with more frequency and intensity amongst those occupations related to human health. in this study, we aimed to investigate the level of occupational stress in operating room staffs working in the hospitals affiliated to isfahan university of medical sci...
