In this study, the fatty acid compositions, lipid-soluble vitamins, sterols, flavonoids, and phenolic levels, as well DPPH radical scavenging activity of five different Dicranum species (D. majus, D. fuscencens, polysetum, scoparium tauricum) were examined. While acids evaluated by HPLC, compositions assessed gas chromatography. Based on study findings, it was determined that examined exhibit l...

Evaluation of Stability and Adaptability in the Selected Lines Some Iranian Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) by AMMI GGE Biplot Methods

objectives: the purpose of this study was to assay the antifungal activity of selected essential oils obtained from plants against both fluconazole (flu)-resistant and flu-susceptible c. albicans strains isolated from hiv positive patients with oropharyngeal candidiasis (opc). materials and methods: the essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation method from myrtus communis (my. communis)...

in order to study genotype  environment interaction (g  e) and to identify high yielding and stable genotypes, 17 safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications, at 9 research stations during four consecutive cropping seasons (2003–06) under rainfed conditions. on the basis of ammi analysis of variance, effects of genotyp...

Consistent with our previous studies, we continue to evaluate the antioxidant potential of Greater celandine (Chelidonium majus L), a representative Papaveraceae family, collected from northern Poland using model muscle tissue rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum). Therefore, in present study, oxidative stress biomarkers [2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), protein modifica...

A positive regulatory element directing maximal expression of the Antirrhinum majus chalcone synthase promoter was characterized by protein-DNA-interaction studies and cis deletion analysis. The positive regulatory element consists of a 47 base pair direct repeat between positions -564 and -670 and provides three binding sites for nuclear protein factors from Nicotiana tabacum and Antirrhinum m...

Genotype-by-environment (GEI) analysis guides the recommendation of best-performing crop genotypes and production environments. The objective this study was to determine extent GEI on seed yield in tepary bean for genotype cultivation drought-prone Forty-five genetically diverse were evaluated under non-stressed drought-stressed conditions two seasons using a 9 × 5 alpha lattice design with thr...

Congenital defects present at birth occur frequently in cattle (Leipold and Dennis, 1986) and these defects may enhance perinatal mortality, decrease maternal productivity and reduce the value of defective neonates (Rousseaux, 1994). The factors responsible for causing the abnormalities are genetic, environmental or a combination of these factors (Roberts, 1971; Rousseaux, 1994). Congenitally f...

Eling and Schuhmacher (2007) compared the Sharpe ratio with other performance measures and found virtually identical rank ordering using hedge fund data. They conclude that the choice of performance measure has no critical influence on fund evaluation and that the Sharpe ratio is generally adequate for analyzing hedge funds. Nevertheless, their analysis does not include the class of tailor-made...
