rearing methods for bracon hebetor (say) (hym., braconidae) were investigated in the series of laboratory experiments designed to enhance the yield of the mass rearing of this parasitoid for biological control of lepidopteran field and stored product pests. in these experiments, the effects of parasitoid and host densities on fertility and sex ratio of b. hebetor were assessed. in parasitoid de...

Let $S$ be a dense subsemigroup of $(0,+infty)$. In this paper, we state   definition of thick near zero, and also  we will introduce a definition that is equivalent to the definition of piecewise syndetic near zero which presented by Hindman  and Leader in [6].  We define density near zero for subsets of $S$ by a collection of nonempty finite subsets of $S$ and we investigate the conditions un...

A 27-year-old man with a congenital heart disease consisting of a double inlet left ventricle s/p a classic Fontan palliation and oversewing of a regurgitant tricuspid valve in 1991 with enlargement of a bulboventricular foramen in 1997, transposition of the great arteries, subaortic stenosis, a left persistent superior vena cava (LSVC), and a hypoplastic mitral valve was followed up in an adul...

Unbranched tendrils arising from the fifth node of light grown Alaska pea plants were found to reach maturity at the age of 10 days. Such tendrils, when stroked, coiled rapidly. They remained maximally irritable for at least 3 days.Coiling was separable into 2 components, curvature (measured in degrees) and elongation. Coiling reached a maximum from one-half to 3 hours after tactile stimulation...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction In recent years, interest in left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has been growing. The vast majority reports concern procedures performed with the use a dedicated set equipment - sheath and an electrode. Purpose aim study was to assess possibility using classical electrodes active fixation, used for stimulation bra...

background: serum lipids abnormalities have been observed in various forms of cancers including acute leukemia. investigators report decreased total cholesterol and hdl, and elevated triglyceride in leukemic patients. limited studies had been performed to discover the correlation between abnormal lipids profile and disease activity in leukemic patients in iran. this study was done to evaluate t...

abstract probiotic products highly affect the health of consumers by reducing the risk of heart attacks and improving of desirable microflora in intestinal tract. in this study the effect of yogurt (500g/d for 3 wk) enriched with either bifidobacterium bifidum or lactobacillus acidophilus on the level of cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (ldl) and high density lipoprotein (hdl) of serum and ...
