effects of seed priming by salicylic acid on yield and yield components of cowpea (vigna unguiculata) cultivar “parastou” were investigated under water deficit conditions. experiment was carried out as a split block design with three replications in 2008-2009 at research station of zanjan university. factors included drought stress as main factor with three levels (normal irrigation, applicatio...

in order to study the effect of water deficit effects on agronomic characteristics of sunflower ‎hybrids, three separate experiments were conducted as‏ ‏randomized complete block design with ‎three replications at the research field of seed and plant improvement institute - karaj. the first ‎experiment conducted at optimum conditions and plants were irrigated after 60 mm evaporation ‎from evapo...

This study aimed to assess the severity and specificity of cognitive impairments that affect individuals with deficit versus non-deficit schizophrenia. We compared 26 patients with the deficit subtype of schizophrenia (SZ-D) and 79 with non-deficit schizophrenia (SZ-ND) to 316 healthy adults (NC). All study participants completed a battery with 19 individual cognitive measures. After adjusting ...

Proline is an important metabolite that plays adaptive role in plants under water-deficit stress. Understanding the genetic basis of water-deficit-induced proline accumulation remains elusive crop plants, especially wheat. Here, we investigated control and conditions using a diversity panel which comprises 150 bread wheat cultivars. Water-deficit stress significantly increased than well-water t...

The purpose of this study was to examine a new method for calculating the O(2) deficit that considered the O(2) uptake (VO(2)) kinetics during exercise as two separate phases in light of previous research in which it was shown that the traditional O(2) deficit calculation overestimated the recovery O(2) consumption (ROC). Eight subjects completed exercise transitions between unloaded cycling an...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The severity of the neurological deficit after ischemic stroke is moderately correlated with infarct volume. In the current study, we sought to quantify the impact of location on neurological deficit severity and to delineate this impact from that of volume. METHODS We developed atlases consisting of location-weighted values indicating the relative importance in terms o...

It is well known that schizophrenics have difficulty in effectively encoding verbal materials into their long-term memories and consequently show a deficit in recall. Recently, orienting tasks were introduced as a method for achieving equivalent to normal encoding and mnemonic organization in schizophrenics; consequently, their deficit in recall disappeared. A detailed review of the literature,...

OBJECTIVE The automated gravitational Vario Flow system with weighing-based electronic fluid deficit indicator was used in order to reduce the risk of fluid intravasation during continuous flow hysteroscopic procedures. Early experiences are reported. METHODS Between August 1996 and July 1997, the Vario Flow with fluid deficit indicator and alarm system was used in 203 hysteroscopic operation...

Although developmental dyslexia (DD) is frequently associate with a phonological deficit, the underlying neurobiological cause remains undetermined. Recently, a new model, called "temporal sampling framework" (TSF), provided an innovative prospect in the DD study. TSF suggests that deficits in syllabic perception at a specific temporal frequencies are the critical basis for the poor reading per...
