fungal diseases, chocolate spot (botrytis fabae sard) is the most destructive diseases of faba bean and causes considerable dramatic damage losses on faba bean yield worldwide. the levels of resistance to chocolate spot were evaluated in 35 faba bean cultivars and one susceptible check (ilb365) and local check (barkat) at the gorgan agricultural research station during the 2010 and 2011 croppin...

to assess the radiation use efficiency (rue) of different rice cultivars under transplanting (tp) and direct-sowing (ds) systems and scrutiny of weed effect, a split-plot factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2011 at haraz extension and technology development center in mahmoudabad city, mazandaran. the main plots were two plant...

whitening as one of the stages in rice processing is performed following dehusking. studies on performance of milling machines prevailent in mazandaran province, as the biggest rice producer province in iran, are essential and helpful in reducing rice losses. a research was undertaken to examine the effects of variety (tarom, hibrid, and fajr), milling machine (frictional and abrasive baed mill...

This study confirmed reports that Angora goats are highly susceptible to Cowdria ruminantium and showed that immunization of this breed against heartwater may be difficult hazardous. It was found that if goats were treated on the 2nd or 3rd day of the febrile reaction following the intravenous inoculation of the heartwater agent, few animals survived the infection. If, on the other hand, treatm...

The introduction of vaccinia virus into the skin of swine calls forth a typical vesicular reaction which may be followed by a solid immunity. This acquired state of resistance was utilized in determining the route of immunity transmission from sow to young. The suckling young of immune sows, vaccinated on the 7th day or earlier, showed no reaction to the virus. Their hand-fed litter mates, howe...

olive cultivars with specific characteristics have been developed thanks to iran’s particular climatic conditionsand long-term olive cultivation. the genetic variation and relationships among 40 olive cultivars, as well as 17 unknown genotypes from the national olive collection orchard at tarom research station, zanjan, iran, were evaluated using ssr markers. using 10 microsatellite primer pair...

INTRODUCTION Adverse events involving medication use represent a significant patient safety issue in Canada. This was most recently identified through the findings of the Canadian Adverse Events Study, released in May 2004 (Baker et al.) One strategy for addressing this issue is to utilize a systems approach to patient safety rather than focusing on individual performance. Practitioners, howeve...

In this research, for the first time in Iran, Deferoxamine test for differential diagnosis between Staph. epidermidis and Staph. hominis of other gram­positive cocci is introduced. Besides, the comparative results of the susceptibility rates of Staph. aureus (220 Spp.) and Enterococci ( 110 Spp.) to a new glycopeptide antibiotic (SK&Fl04662) and other 12 antibiotics are presented by Disk-Agar D...

Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) strategy is described for rapid identification of clinically relevant methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that targets mecA and coagulase genes. In this study, 150 staphylococcal clinical isolates were used that included 40 isolates of MRSA, 55 isolates of methicillin susceptible S. aureus (MSSA), 44 isolates of methicillin susceptible co...
