unity is one of the most important social issues in the holy religion of islam. unity makes possible entanglement from dependencies, success in settling social issues, and firmness in confronting conspiracies and invasions. since islam is a religion of kindness and brotherhood, it invites its followers to engage in being united, which will, however, never be achieved without resolving conflicts...

in this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem for six mappings (two set valued and four single valued mappings) without assuming compatibility and continuity of any mapping on non complete metric spaces. to prove the theorem, we use a non compatible condition, that is, weak commutativity of type (kb). we show that completeness of the whole space is not necessary for the existence and uni...

efficacy of many herbicides to control broad- and narrow-leaf weeds (grass weeds) in tobacco fields of mazandaran and guilan provinces was investigated. the experiment was randomized complete blocks design in four replications and the following treatments: eptam (eradicane 82% ec) at 6 l.ha-1 which incorporated pre-planting (ppi), trifluralin (treflan 48% ec) at 2 l/ha ppi, cycloate (roneet 72....

A large body of research has documented the effect of seed priming ongermination, emergence and crop yield. In such research, seed priming has beenfound to have a positive, negative or no effect. Meta-analysis can help tosummarize and interpret a collection of experiments. The aim of this study was toconduct a meta-analysis to synthesize published data from studies addressing theeffect of seed ...

BACKGROUND A recent study showed that methylphenidate induces emergence from isoflurane general anesthesia. Isoflurane and propofol are general anesthetics that may have distinct molecular mechanisms of action. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that methylphenidate actively induces emergence from propofol general anesthesia. METHODS Using adult rats, the effect of methylp...

The emergence of bacterial antibiotic resistance is a growing problem, yet the variables that influence the rate of emergence of resistance are not well understood. In a microfluidic device designed to mimic naturally occurring bacterial niches, resistance of Escherichia coli to the antibiotic ciprofloxacin developed within 10 hours. Resistance emerged with as few as 100 bacteria in the initial...
