Few data are available on the seroprevalence of antibodies to Bartonella henselae among children. We retrospectively evaluated the presence of immunoglobulin G and M class antibodies to B. henselae in 508 children living in central Italy who were apparently free of any features suggesting B. henselae infection. We found that B. henselae infection is common among children in central Italy, occur...

This presentation assesses the role of liver transplantation in treating end-stage liver disease today. Most of the unresolved issues in human liver transplantation have been developed in two major series, the one from Denver and the other from the combined Cambridge/Kings College Hospital effort in England. The findings of these groups are highlighted, as are the changes in technique that have...

knowledge of environmental and ecological factors as well as growth and development pattern of fruit trees is an important task in orchard management and fruit industry. in addition, determination of growth pattern is an important aspect in the orchard management system. in this research, the total photosynthesis rate and growth pattern was measured in nine asian pear cultivars. experiment was ...

A Field experiment was conducted during Zaid 2022 with a goal to evaluate the effect of date sowing and integrated nitrogen management on growth yield summer groundnut (Arachis hypogaea). The laid out in Randomized Block Design ten treatments each replicated thrice at Crop Research Farm, Department Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Scien...

The increasing demands for environmental protection and sustainable food production require an increase in the use of natural and non-toxic materials for agriculture. In this study, the feasibility of using surfactant-modified zeolite (SMZ) in comparison with zeolite clinoptilolite (Cp) application to reduce nitrate leaching and enhance crop growth was investigated. The effects of size (millime...

This paper presents both, the design and the development of a monitoring and control system via web for a closed microalgae crop and the results that were gotten using the strain Haematococcus pluvialis. The research was done at Sabana University (Colombia) and it aims to quantify the kinetic growth associated to the increment of biomass and the development of red pigment inside the cells when ...

eighteen wheat breeding lines were evaluated along with two check cultivars across nine locations of temperate zone of iran during two crop seasons (2003-2004 and 2004-2005). field records were taken for some important traits especially grain yield. combined anova for nine locations in the first season and for seven locations in both seasons was undertaken. in each case, additive main effects a...

A split-split-plot design with three replications in two years of 2009 and 2010 was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of irrigation water (main plot), salinity of irrigation water (sub-plot) and nitrogen fertilizer rate (sub-subplot) on maize growth rate and gas exchange. Irrigation treatments were I1 (1.0 crop evapotranspiration (ETc)+0.25ETc as leaching), I2 (0.75I1)...

Tree root pruning is a potential tool for managing belowground competition when trees and crops are grown together in agroforestry systems. We investigated the effects of tree root pruning on shoot growth and root distribution of Alnus acuminata (H.B. & K.), Casuarina equisetifolia L., Grevillea robusta A. Cunn. ex R. Br., Maesopsis eminii Engl. and Markhamia lutea (Benth.) K. Schum. and on yie...
