to evaluate general and specific combining ability for resistance to bolting and cercospora leaf spot, 36 hybrids derived from crosses between 9 sugar beet lines along with four checks were planted in safiabad agricultural research center (dezful) in 2008-2009. the experimental design was a triple lattice design with three replications. analysis of variance showed significant differences among ...

the cotton bollworm, helicoverpa armigera (hübner), is one of the important polyphagous pests causing serious loss to many economically important crops in iran. the goal of this experiment was to study the age-stage, two-sex life table of h. armigera on different bean cultivars including white kidney bean (cultivars daneshkadeh, pak, and shokufa), red kidney bean (cultivars akhtar, naz, and say...

Acne keloidalis is a chronic inflammatory process that involves hair follicles of the nape of the neck and leads to hypertrophic scarring. In all references, it is noticed that this process occurs only in males after puberty and is especially seen in the black race. In this case, we report a 31-year-old white woman who had hypertrophic papules in the nape of her neck since 10 years ago and in p...

introduction: in some intoxicated patients, cerebrospinal fluid (csf) is examined due to the prolonged loss of consciousness, focal neurologic findings, and fever of unknown origin. we aimed to evaluate the probable relationship between the different toxicity causes and the csf indices in poisoned patients and determine if they could predict the patients’ outcome. methods: all patients who had ...

background: volume estimation of brain is important for many neurological applications. it is necessary in measuring brain growth and changes in brain in normal/abnormal patients. thus, accurate brain volume measurement is very important. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is the method of choice for volume quantification due to excellent levels of image resolution and between-tissue contrast. st...

in this research, the chemical and microbiological characteristics of white brined cheeses produced with five differen starter cultures, namely: traditional kefir grain, commercial kefir, commercial yogurt, traditional yogurt and commercial cheese starter culture, were examined during 60- day ripening period. results of statistical analysis showed that the type of starter culture had a signific...

introduction: white spot syndrome virus (wssv) is one of the most deadly infectious pathogens of the shrimp culture industry. neither effective vaccines nor efficient treatments are currently available for this disease. vibrio species are well known dominant bacterial pathogens in the shrimp ponds. as facultative pathogenic bacteria, it is possible that vibrio spp. along with wssv to co-infect ...

compounds obtained from marine organisms have been isolated due to their anti-bacterial and antifungal activities. in this study, the antifungal activity of aqueous-methanol, methanol, chloroform and n-hexane extracts of body wall, guts and white strings of sea cucumber (holothuria leucospilota) collected from chabahar bay in 100 to 2000 μg/ml concentrations is discussed. the antifungal test on...

abstract: this paper presents the results of studies concerned with the preparation of fresh food foams based on egg white and various hydrocolloids including iranian gum tragacanth, guar and xanthan gums at different concentrations (0.002-0.040% w/w). the basic physical parameters of the obtained foams such as overrun, stability and morphology of gas bubbles were measured. viscosity measuremen...
