Intact soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles in the rat were freely grafted to the contralateral leg after either no preliminary treatment or 14 days prior denervation. Normal muscle grafts during the first week were characterized by a central zone of degenerating original muscle fibers (disappearing by 7-9 days) and a peripheral zone, containing regenerating muscle as well as small numb...

UNLABELLED To assess if sensory-motor-oral stimulation and non-nutritive sucking gavage feeding enhances the oral feeding performance of preterm infants born between 26 and 32 weeks of gestational age. STUDY DESIGN Very low birthweight infants (n=98) were randomized into a experimental and control group. Preterm infants in the experimental group received sensory-motor-oral stimulation and non...

This study investigated the effects of applying psychrotrophic cellulose-degrading fungi on cellulase production, fungal community structure, and maturity pig manure (PM) compost under low-temperature conditions. Three strains were isolated identified, after cold-active production conditions optimized, they inoculated into PM compost. While control (CK) temperature failed to reach thermophilic ...

in order to identify the suitable rapeseed genotypes as second crop in paddy fields of guilan province, 14 rapeseed genotypes were grown in complete randomized block design with three replicates in a paddy fields experimental condition in rice research institute of iran, rasht during 2005-2007 cropping seasons. the results of the combined analysis of variance indicated significant difference am...

Patterns of accumulation and ontogenetic relationships among proteins of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seeds were examined between 10 days postanthesis and maturity (56 days). Total and extractable nitrogen contents were determined; alkali- and water-soluble proteins were assayed quantitatively and electrophoretically. Two alkali-soluble proteins present in the electrophoretogram of mature emb...

Yoruba Ecotype Chicken (YEC) is characterized by hardiness, and better adaptation to prevailing tropical environment. However, its poor egg production has hindered utilization for commercial production. Crossbreeding a major tool used in improving desired traits animals. The objective of the study was evaluate quality characteristics YEC crosses with Goliath (GG) Sussex (SS). investigated using...

Twenty one F2 progenies derived from a 7×7 diallel crosses along with parents were evaluated for grain yield, flowering and maturity time. Due to significant genotypic effects for all traits, genetic analyses were performed on F2 progenies including analyses of combining ability and genetic components. The Analysis of variance revealed that both additive and non-additive genetic effects were in...

background and objectives: quinoa (chenopodium quinoa willd.) is a member of amaranthaceae family that originated in the andean region in bolivia, chile and peru five thousands of years and so it has a tiny and round seeds. quinoa in different combinations of food used as food, as well as how to cook like rice grains and known as the inca rice in the south american countries. the high nutrition...
