water deficit stress permanent or temporary limits the growth and distribution of natural vegetation and performance of plants more than other environmental factors. in order to investigate the effect of drought stress and mycorrhizal-arbuscular fungi inoculation on the growth and yield of savory (satureja hortensis l.) a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design were conducted...

abstract     crop residues are well known for their chemical (allelopathic) effects on crops. the allelopathic potential of the aqueous extracts and chopped residual of sorghum (sorghum bicolor l.) on germination, seedling growth, relative water content, seedling dry weight, seedling length and antioxidant enzyme activity namely catalase (cat), peroxidase (pod) and superoxide dismutase (sod) of...

the logistic regression (lr) method, as an empirical estimation method, was used to model urban growth in gorgan city between the years 1987-2001. three groups of variables including social-economic, land use and biophysical variables were used. similarity among variables is probable. to remove the correlated variables, covariance was calculated and distance to administrative, sporting centers ...

Hypomagnesemia is a serious adverse event for patients treated with cetuximab, an inhibitor of endothelial growth factor receptor (EGFR). However, no significant association has yet been established between cetuximab and hypomagnesemia in randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs).

Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is a rare, but well-recognized disease characterized by growth disorder. To date, there are two reports arguing IGF2 mutation for the onset of SRS. Herein, we present another sporadic case harboring IGF2 mutation. The male proband was the first and only child of a non-consanguineous Chinese couple. He was small for gestational age, with relative macrocephaly at bir...

African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) is an underexploited legume with the potential of becoming an alternative food staple to alleviate the problem of food security. An assessment was carried out on the growth and yield of AYB affected by Telfairia mosaic virus (TeMV) Infection. Telfairia mosaic virus caused severe mosaic, leaf distortion and malformation on AYB. Analyses of results revea...
