Introduction: The study aimed to find the low dose effect gamma ray on some hematological parameters in male albino rats obtained from the Mosul University, IRAQ, and also studied the radioprotective effect of black seed oil on the hematological parameters. Material and Methods: The system is made of 241Am as gamma source .The...

This study evaluated agronomic traits of 111 genotypes of black gram Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper, mainly from Pakistan, to determine the extent of genetic diversity. Seed proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. High genetic variance was observed for days to flowering, days to maturity, number of branches/plant, number of pods/plant, biomass/plant, grain yield/plant and harvest index, whereas low geneti...

The crude seed extract of neem, black pepper, mahogani, and garlic bulb with three doses were evaluated against legume pod borer in the country bean field in two seasons kharif 2006 and rabi 2006-2007. The neem seed extract applied @150 and 100 g/l and mahogani seed extract @ 100 g/l of water 7 days intervals on the country bean showed better performance in the reduction of flower and pod damag...

We study gravitational collapse of rapidly rotating relativistic polytropes of the adiabatic index Γ = 1.5 and 2, in which the spin parameter q ≡ J/M > 1 where J and M are total angular momentum and gravitational mass, in full general relativity. First, analyzing initial distributions of the mass and the spin parameter inside stars, we predict the final outcome after the collapse. Then, we perf...

study of agronomic characteristics and advantage indices in intercropping of additive series of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) and black cumin (nigella sativa l.) abstract in order to evaluate quantitive and qualitive yield of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) and black cumin (nigella sativa l.) in intercropping of additive series, a field experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block desig...

Two modern laser-based techniques were synchronously applied to study the dynamics of the trans-resveratrol activity in Botrytis cinerea-infected grapes. Direct analysis of trans-resveratrol in both infected and noninfected grapes (Vitis vinifera, Aledo variety) was performed by using an analytical technique incorporating laser desorption coupled with laser resonant ionization and time-of-fligh...

Different soil types can significantly affect the composition of wine grapes and the final wine product. In this study, the effects of soil types on the composition of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and wine produced in the Helan Mountains were evaluated. Three different representative soil types--aeolian, sierozem and irrigation silting soil were studied. The compositions of grapes and wines were m...

AIMS To identify ascomycetous yeasts recovered from sound and damaged grapes by the presence of honeydew or sour rot. METHODS AND RESULTS In sound grapes, the mean yeast counts ranged from 3.20 +/- 1.04 log CFU g(-1) to 5.87 +/- 0.64 log CFU g(-1). In honeydew grapes, the mean counts ranged from 3.88 +/- 0.80 log CFU g(-1) to 6.64 +/- 0.77 log CFU g(-1). In sour rot grapes counts varied betwe...

Octahedral,cuboctahedral,branched and ‘rice-like’Pt NPs were synthesised using a seed-mediated growth route. Pt NPs (3 nm) were prepared and dispersed in oleyl amine to form a seed solution and then Pt(acac)2 was added. By adjusting the molar ratio of Pt from Pt(acac)2 and seed NPs, the seed diameter and the addition route of Pt(acac)2, the NPs growth could be controlled to fall into in a kinet...
