for the first time, a spectrum of morphological abnormalities have been produced in developingmouse embryos (n=50), by injecting (ip) 75 and 100 mg/kg of maternal body weight of a new quinazolinonederivative, 4(3h)quinazolinone-2-propyl-2-phenylethyl(qppe), on days 9, 10 and 11 of gestation.measurements of the length of the crown-rump (cr), weight of body of the embryos and placenta on day 17sh...

ancylostoma tubaeforme was originally described as a separate species parasitizing the cat. the adults of a. tubaeforme are 7 to 12 mm long. a. tubaeforme can be differentiated from the adults of a. braziliense and a. ceylanicum by the presence of three teeth. here we describe the first re­port of a. tubaeforme in a persian young female leopard, 2-3 years old, with head and trunk length 120 cen...

A Serpulidaepolychaetae, Spirobranchuskraussii, was newly recorded in the Persian Gulf, Iran. It is the first record of Serpulidae species in Iran. Serpulidaeforms dense aggregations in rocky shores in Bandar Abbas. This research investigated the biological structure and the effect of temperature on embryonic stages of S. kraussii. Sampling was conducted with a quadrant of 10×10 cm2, in r...

Phenotypic characterization and body biometric in 13 traits (height at withers, body length, chest girth, paunch girth, ear length, tail length, length of tail up to switch, face length, face width, horn length, circumference of horn at base, distances between pin bone and hip bone) were recorded in 233 adult Gojri buffaloes from Punjab and Himachal Pradesh states of India. Traits were analysed...

An effective field theory for the three-body system with large scattering length is applied to three-body recombination to a weakly bound s-wave state in a Bose gas. Our model independent analysis demonstrates that the three-body recombination constant alpha is not universal, but can take any value between zero and 67.9Planck's over 2pia(4)/m, where a is the scattering length. Other low-energy ...

I studied the ontogenetic development of body shape and the influence of food availability on the development of body shape in hatchling striped plateau lizards (Sceloporus uirgatus) over the first seven to eight weeks of their life. Body mass showed positive growth relative to snout-vent length. Head width, head length, and femur length showed negative growth relative to snout-vent length. No ...

Very few studies that evaluated the association between fi nger length ratio and body composition in adult population showed very diverse results. We carried out a radiographic study on a large population sample who had participated in a Chuvashian skeletal aging study investigating different aspects of skeletal aging. The aims of this study were to evaluate the association between 2D:4D ratio ...
