The frequency of conversion and the disparity in the direction of conversion were studied for six frameshift mutants lying in locus b2 of Ascobolus immersus and giving more 2 wild type:6 mutant (2+6m) than 6 wild type:2 mutant (6+2m) aberrant asci (type B). The frequency of conversion decreased from left to right in the locus. The disparity steadily increased from left to right and then reached...

this investigation was carried out in safiabad agricultural research center (dezful-iran) for two years in order to introduce adapted pecan cultivars in subtropical regions of iran. gratex, peruque, comanche, 10j, wichita, mohawk, mahan, stuart, graking, choctaw, apache, 6m and 3j cultivars were evaluated for some of their morphological and phenological characteristics. among cultivars evaluate...

efficient use of natural and biological cycles such as nitrogen fixation by legumes may stimulate yield of non-legumes crops in an intercropped system. in order to evaluate spring barley (h) and annual alfalfa (m) intercropping, a study was conducted in the research field of university of tehran (located in karaj) during 2009-2010 growing season. in this research, a randomized complete block de...

Multivalent combination vaccines have reduced the number of injections and therefore improved vaccine acceptance, timeliness of administration and global coverage. The hexavalent diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-hepatitis B-inactivated poliovirus/Haemophilus influenzae type b (DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib; Infanrix hexa™) vaccine, administered according to various schedules, is widely used for the pr...

Lead-induced inclusion bodies in renal tubular cells of rats have been studied in vitro after isolation by differential centrifugation. The inclusion bodies are insoluble in physiological media but may be dissolved in denaturants like 6M urea and sodium deoxycholate. They contain about 40-50 mug of lead/mg protein, but only about 10% of this is tightly bound. They also contain calcium, iron, zi...

The effects of meal frequency and fasting on selected plasma free amino acids (PFAA) was studied in horses. Six 22-mo-old Quarter Horses were used in a replicated 3 X 3 Latin-square design in which each horse received one meal per day (1M), two meals per day (2M) or six meals per day (6M) for 2 wk. A complete pelleted ration was fed at a rate of 1.75% of body weight daily. The consumption of a ...

In this paper we study the sequences generated by a neuronal equation of the form xn " 1[!ki"1 aixn#i # Θ], where k is the size of the memory. We show that in the case where all the parameters (ai)1%i%k are strictly positive reals and k is a multiple of 6 (i.e., k " 6m), there exists a subset B " &w1, w2, . . . , wΑ( of &1, 2, . . . , m # 1( and for which there exists a neuronal equation of mem...

Aims To compare the surgical outcome of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) with and without lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation (LHEP). Methods This retrospective study included 158 eyes of 158 patients with FTMH treated with PPV. The following variables were analyzed: sex, age, preoperative best corrected visual acuity (pre-BCVA), BCVA 6 months a...

We investigated the effects of resistance exercise combined with essential amino acid supplementation on psoas major muscle (PMM) hypertrophy and walking ability in elderly individuals. Twenty-nine healthy elderly individuals were assigned to 3 groups: (1) E (exercise), (2) A3 (exercise combined with 3.0 g of essential amino acid supplementation), and (3) A6 (exercise combined with 6.0 g of ess...

Efforts to euthanise stranded cetaceans remain highly variable in their outcomes, with few field tested operational procedures available. This study sought to validate the efficacy of using modern firearms technology to euthanise small (<6m length) stranded cetaceans. Post-mortem evidence was gathered from the standardised shooting of cetacean cadavers (n = 10), representing six species, using ...
