We describe an augmented reality (AR) marker that has both a virtual appearance and physical features. We integrate a blimp with an AR marker to overcome two problems found in conventional AR applications. One problem is mobility. While a conventional AR marker is generally paper-based and static, “Aero-Marker” floats in the air and moves toward the user. Thus, the relationship between the user...

To validate if DCX truly predicts neuron recruitment throughout the canary brain, it should correlate to a high degree with established methods for studying neuron recruitment, such as labeling cells with the mitotic marker 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU). This is not the case, however, as we observed clear regional differences in the relationship between the two labeling methods in neurogenic an...

seedlessness is the most important trait in table grape and raisin industry which has attracted breeders from long ago. breeding grapes by traditional methods result in low number of seedless progenies and their selection requires long time. therefore, marker-assisted selection (mas) can overcome the selection difficulty and would decrease high cost of progeny maintenance for several years. in ...

mahaleb (prunus mahalab l.) is used as a rootstock for cherries in iran and many other countries. in this research, rapd markers were used to determine the genetic diversity among eight genotypes of mahaleb evaluated in two separate research grardens in karaj, iran. these genotypes are used as mother plants for seed production. totally 40 random primers were examined for pcr reactions on the te...

background : hepatitis includes a wide range of clinical and pathological conditions. the beta-2 microglobulin (ãÿ2m), as part of thehla complex, is responsible for transmission of viral antigens on the surface of liver cells. the purpose of this study is to determine the concentration of salivary ãÿ2m as a marker of viral proliferation in subjects who are hbsag + , hbv dna pcr + compared with ...

background: garlic is a valuable medicinal plant with variability in desirable morphological and physiological characteristics. the analysis of genetic diversity plays an important role in breeding programs. the rapd technique could be very effective in detecting genetic variation in garlic.  objective: the objective of the present work was to detect molecular polymorphism among iranian garlic ...

indole acetic acid is an important hormone that improved the growth of different plant organs such as the root under normal and stress conditions. as various studies have shown, most of rhizobacteria produce indole acetic acid and thereby contribute to the growth of plants. in this study, different rhizobacteria were isolated from different regions of iran for the assessment of their ability to...

in this study, an efficient agrobacterium-mediated transformation method was developed forpomegranate (punica granatum l.), a difficult-to-transform plant. in vitro shoot segments wereinoculated with agrobacterium tumefaciens strain lba4404 harboring the binary vectorpbi121 carrying the neomycin phosphotransferase (nptii) gene as a selectable marker and β-glucuronidase (gus) gene as a reporter....

background and objective: presence of hepatitis b core antibody (anti-hbc) in the absence of hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag) and hepatitis b surface antibody (anti-hbs) is defined, as isolated anti-hbc. little is known about the clinical significance of the isolated anti-hbc in hepatitis b virus (hbv) infections. the aim of this study was to assess the significance of anti-hbc as the only m...
