Mg(OEt)2 with spherical morphology is one of the most important precursors for the preparation of industrial Ziegler-Natta catalysts. In the present article, morphology evolution of Mg(OEt)2 particles is studied in the course of the synthesis. The morphology of Mg(OEt)2 particles is observed throughout the process by SEM. The results show that Mg(OEt)2 particles are formed through i) seed gener...

Seed size in higher plants is an important agronomic trait, and is also crucial for evolutionary fitness. In flowering plants, the seed comprises three major anatomical components, the embryo, the endosperm and the seed coat, each with different genetic compositions. Therefore, seed size is coordinately determined by the growth of the embryo, endosperm and maternal tissue. Recent studies have r...

conclusions there was a statistically significance correlation between thyrads score and pathologic bethesda scoring system. decision making basis on the radiologic thyrads score can improve the radiological diagnosis precision in nodular goiter patients. results the mean age (± standard deviation) of patients was 44.5 (± 12.8 years). most of them were female 138 (83.6%). the frequency of final...

Hymenaea stigonocarpa is a deciduous and monoecious Neotropical tree species pollinated by bats. Due to overexploitation and habitat destruction, the population size has drastically diminished in nature. No previous study has investigated Mendelian inheritance, linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium in the available microsatellite markers in this species. So, our aim was to estimate these parame...

Gold nanostar particles were synthesized using seed-mediated method. Au-seed was synthesized with the diameter of approximately 3 nm and a considerably low STDEV of less than 1 nm. Then, different amount of Au seed was introduced into the growth solution of nanostars and the influence of the changes in concentration of Au seed on the growth process was investigated. The size of gold nanostars i...

We have analyzed two Arabidopsis strains differing in the mean seed size and seed number they produced. The accession Cape Verde Islands (Cvi) yielded on average about 40% fewer seeds than the laboratory strain Landsberg erecta (Ler), but Cvi seeds were almost twice as heavy. Maternal and nonmaternal genetic factors were involved in the seed size variation, and interactions between both types o...
