Seedlings of Salix eriocephala Michx., Salix sericea Marsh., and their F1 hybrids were tested for their growth under contrasting water conditions. One-year old seedlings were grown in pots and subjected to one of two experiments, a scheduled-watering experiment (watered every 1, 4, 8, or 12 days) or a dry-down experiment (no watering after an initial period without water limitation). In the sch...

Dogs and wild canidae in Iran are highly infected with Toxocaria­sis  This and the poor hygienic conditions ruling in rural regions  let to expect the visceral larva migrans to be an entity of high incidence in this-country. Therefore, Patients Presenting with hepatomegaly, fever, leucocytosis and eosinophilia-specially when originating from villages-have to be surveyed for this syndrome. An ef...

this study was performed to evaluate the results of 14 years of application of ilizarov method in treatment of infected non-:union:s of tibia and femur in patients with severe trauma and battlefield wounds. seventeen patients with long bone non:union: (14 were with infected non:union: of tibia out of whom two were associated with tibial bone defects and 3 with infected non-:union: of femur) wer...

Consensus definitions have emerged for the discrimination between infected and uninfected prosthetic joints but diagnostic uncertainty often occurs. We examined the accuracy of orthopaedic surgeons' assessments to diagnose the infected prosthetic hip or knee and elucidated the added value of laboratory parameters. A prospective cohort study of patients undergoing revision arthroplasty of hip or...

the reaction of nineteen different cultivars of cucurbita spp. including cucurbita pepo, cucurbita maxima and lagenaria siceraria to phytophthora capsici, phytophthora melonis and phytophthora drechsleri was studied under greenhouse conditions. plants were grown in steam sterilized soil. one-month-old plants were inoculated with vermiculate hempseed extract inocula of phytophthora and were floo...

context the hepatitis b virus (hbv) is a highly infectious virus which spreads through blood and other infected fluids such as semen. individuals can be infected with the virus through sexual contact, by sharing needles or by a needle accident, by getting a body piercing or tattooing, and prenatally or at birth, if the mother is infected with the virus. evidence acquisition we searched medical ...

s of papers 47 tered via water, in preventing necrotic enteritis (NE) in broilers and reducing fecal bacteria. The NE challenge model included: 200,000 Eimeria acervulina oocysts/bird 5d and Clostridium perfringens (CP) 7d posthatch. Healthy, newly-hatched broiler male chicks (Ross x Cobb commercial source) were randomly placed into wire floor cages. Treatments included positive non-infected co...

diagnosis of infected and affected dentine is an important factor in clininal restorative treatment of dentine. in this study, the ir and raman spectra of the sound dentine, infected dentine and affected dentine are reported. the structure of infected dentine and affected dentine has been compared with the sound dentine and hydroxyapatite. it is shown while the infected dentine has lost its str...

Nucleotide sequence analysis of the Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) genome revealed the existence of a gene homologous to the p35 gene of Autographa californica NPV (AcNPV), which has been shown to prevent virus-induced apoptosis. The BmNPV p35 gene showed 96.1% nucleotide and 89.6% predicted amino acid sequence identity to the AcNPV p35 gene. A mutant BmNPV (BmP35Z) lacking a fu...
