in order to study the effects of single and combined applications of biofertilazer and organic fertilizers on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of anisum (pimpinella anisum), an experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications and fifteen treatments at research station, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in 2011 y...

Introduction: Pethidine is commonly used to treat shivering after general anesthesia (GA), yet respiratory depression may subsequently occur. Warming methods such as warm fluids and/or humid-warm oxygen inhalation can reduce shivering after GA. This randomized clinical trial aimed to compare the effects of three different methods on the reduction of shivering and their hemodynamic and respirato...

background: conduction analgesia is one of the most effective routes for relief of labor pain. combined spinal epidural analgesia may cause less maternal and neonatal complications. these study aimed to investigate the effects of combined spinal epidural analgesia on progress of labor delivery and related complications. methods: in a randomized clinical trial study 220 women in spontaneous labo...

The aim of this study was to investigate effects of DGAT1, OPN and PPARGC1A candidate genes on milk production traits in Iranian Holstein cattle. Several papers have studied single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their association with economic traits in dairy cows, but the combined effect of these genes has not been examined in Iranian Holstein cattle population. Blood samples were collect...

objective: in radiation treatment, the irradiation which is effective enough to control the tumors far exceeds normal-tissues tolerance. thus to avoid such unfavourable outcomes, some methods sensitizing the tumor cells to radiation are used. iododeoxyuridine (iudr) is a halogenated thymidine analogue that known to be effective as a radiosensitizer in human cancer therapy. improving the potenti...

Electricity cannot be stored and needs huge amount of capital so producers and consumers pay special attention to predict electricity consumption. Besides, time-series data of the electricity market are chaotic and complicated. Nonlinear methods such as Neural Networks have shown better performance for predicting such kind of data. We also need to analyze other variables affecting electricity c...

background: in previous investigations, it has been clarified that electromagnetic fields (elf) can cause some changes in cellular behavior. the aim of this prospective study was to investigate the effect of magnetic field (mf) on human sperm parameters of motility, morphology, and viability. materials and methods: semen samples were collected from 12 fertile men, and were allowed to liquefy fo...

Two stages gas guns are used for various purposes, particularly for mechanical characterization of materials at high rate of deformations. The performance of a two stages gas gun is studied in this work using the theory of the two-stage gas gun proposed by Rajesh, numerical simulation using combined Eulerian/ Lagrangian elements in Autodyna commercial code and experiment using a two stage gas g...

Background. In team sports, according to perform variety of motor skills, development of special bio-motor abilities and imposed proper exercise stress, hematologic adaptations following exercise will be different. Objectives. Therefore, the aim of this study was the effects of six weeks combined training program on hematological parameters in elite basketball players. Methods. Fifteen athl...
