The development of exchange transfusion has greatly altered the prognosis of haemolytic disease of the newborn and the procedure is now accepted as being essential in cases of any severity. It is carried out wherever the criteria for operation are fulfilled and by operators of varying skill and experience. The difficulties associated with blood transfusion have received increasing attention in ...

Antibodies are essential tools of biomedical and biochemical researches. Polyclonal antibodies are produced against different epitopes of antigens. Purified F(ab')2 can be used for animal’s immunization to produce polyclonal antibodies. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) was purified by ion exchange chromatography method. In all stages verification method of the purified antibodies was sod...

It has long been held that the low photosynthetic rates (A) of coffee leaves are largely associated with diffusive constraints to photosynthesis. However, the relative limitations of the stomata and mesophyll to the overall diffusional constraints to photosynthesis, as well as the coordination of leaf hydraulics with photosynthetic limitations, remain to be fully elucidated in coffee. Whether t...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of Portulaca oleracea (PO),medicinal plant, on performance, egg traits, blood biochemical and immunity parameters of laying hens. One hundred eighty Hi-Line (W-36 strain) mature laying hens 65 up to 76 weeks of age were allotted in a completely randomized design consisting of 5 treatments and 3 replicates (12 birds per re...

the objective of this work was to develop a new design of an intake manifold through a 1d simulation. it is quite familiar that a duly designed intake manifold is essential for the optimal performance of an internal combustion engine. air flow inside the intake manifold is one of the important factors, which governs the engine performance and emissions. hence the flow phenomenon inside the inta...

the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on growth and physiological characteristics of seedlings corylus avellana were determined in a forest nursery. for this purpose, in a completely randomized design (crd) and four replicates, three putative bacteria, including pseudomonas putida, bacillus subtilis and enterobacter cloacae, as alone and mixed, were examined. the greatest h...

the objective of this work was to study the responses of two baby lettuce (lactuca sativa l.) cultivars, namely, green paris island and red sanguine, to different nacl concentrations (0, 5, 10, and 20 mm). the study was conducted in a floating system and plants were harvested at the stage of 5-6 leaves, outside leaf 6-10 cm in length (25 and 31 days after sowing for green and red lettuce, respe...

investigating the role of drought stress conditions on physiological characteristics of plant may provide means to understand basic drought resistance. differences in leaf emergence rate, leaf relative water content (rwc), membrane stability index (msi), leaf mass area (lma), net photosynthesis (anet), stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration rate (e), intercellular co2 concentration (ci), ...

many phragmites-dominated wetlands have been markedly salinized and alkalinized in the songnen plain, northeastern china. agricultural wastewater with high nitrogen content has been discharged into these alkalinized-salinized wetlands. to understand the effect of salinity-alkalinity on reed (phragmites australis) seedlings at various nitrogen levels, we examined photosynthesis rate, chlorophyll...
