Photosynthetic rates of six pistachio cultivars were studied including Ohadi, Kalleh-Ghochi, Akbari, AhmadAghaii, Rezaii Zoudras and Haratii. Measurements were done using OFF and ON shoots at different stages of fruit growth and development included: - Beginning of endocarp growth; - pith hardening; - Beginning of endosperm rapid growth; - end of embryo development; - ripening and harvesting ti...

The impact of two principal parasitic digenetic trematodes, Meiogymnophallus minutus and Himasthla spp., on the growth (weight and length) of the cockle, Cerastoderma edule, in Arcachon Bay (France) was studied. The experiment was conducted in the land-based mesocosms. The velocity of infestation with both trematodes was far more rapid during summer in the cockles already parasitized with these...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary levels of vitamins E (25, 30 and 35 mg kg-1), Folic Acid (1.5, 2 and 2.5 mg kg-1) and their combination on the growth performance, hematological and immunological parameters of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. Each diet was fed to rainbow trout in triplicate to apparent satiation four times daily for 8 weeks. At the end of the feedi...

in this study, the distribution, abundance and some growth parameters of spirlin, alburnoideseichwaldii in the tilabad stream in the golestan province was studied over 2009-2010. a totalof 535 samples of spirlins were collected by catching with electroshocker. a total number of205 samples was analyzed and the rest of the specimens were released. spirlin was found onlyin stations 1 and 2 (the he...

Bacterial antibiotic resistance is one of the major concerns of modern healthcare worldwide, and the development of rapid, growth-based, antimicrobial susceptibility tests is key for addressing it. The cover image shows a self-assembled asynchronous magnetic bead rotation (AMBR) biosensor developed for rapid detection of bacterial growth. Using the biosensors, the minimum inhibitory concentrati...

economic recession is considered as a repeatable and constant phenomenon in capitalist economy. countries which experienced rapid economic growth have inevitably applied a balancing program after that. generally, whenever industrial, financial and commercial developments occurred in a rapid growth, the reverse and changing processes would appear. consequently, they will affect the financial and...

background: vitamins are considered an essential part in diet of aquatic animals. objectives: this study was carried out to assay the effect of different levels of vitamin e on growth performance, carcass compositions and blood parameters of common carp fingerlings (cyprinus carpio). methods: total number of 96 common carp fingerlings weighing 15.49 ± 3.64 g were randomly distributed into 12 fi...
