Biomarkers are indicators of a pathological or physiological state, and they essential for facilitating the diagnosis subclinical condition, understanding origin progression disease, stratifying risk, assessing response to specific therapeutic approach [...]

in order to locate the qtls involved in the inheritance of agronomical, physiological and metabolitical indicators of drought tolerance in barley, an experiment was carried out using a wheat-barley disomic addition lines. this research was conducted in 2003-2004 at the dry land agricultural research institute, sararood, kermanshah, iran. the results of analysis of variance revealed highly signi...

Measurements of user experience (UX) in traditional humancomputer interaction studies mostly rely on task performance and self-report data. Recent research has showed that physiological measures are good indicators of cognitive involvement and emotional arousal and are suggested being used as a complementary measure of UX. This paper reports a preliminary study to examine the possibility of inc...

Environmental pollution consists of different types of pollutants in air, soil, and water. Due to the fact that plants can respond to environmental pollution, they can be used as bio-indicators for environmental monitoring. Air pollution in areas with oil and gas refineries nearby is an important problem. This study aims to survey the effects of gas refinery air pollutants on Conocarpus erectus...

Four hundred and eighty mixed-sex broiler chicks aged 3 hrs after hatching were allotted according to a completely random design in a 6 × 2 × 2 factorial schedule into 2 groups of 12 replications of 20 chicks each. The main experimental factors were fasting for 0, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hrs after chick placement, calcium gluconate (Ca-glu) injection (0 and 0.6 mL) and sex (male and female). Inde...

In the present study species like Mangifera indica, Linn., Cassia fistula, Linn., and Eucalyptus hybrid were exposed to different air pollution load for short duration (active biomonitoring). Variation in biochemical parameters like chlorophyll, protein, soluble sugar free amino acid, ascorbic acid, nitrate reductase, superoxide dismutase and peroxidase in the leaves were found to be pollution ...

The outcome indicator was based on the number of antenatal care visits. It is very likely that the course of pregnancy, physiological or pathological, is associated with both, the number of antenatal visits and also with the empowerment indicators. In fact, these indicators could be an expression of socio-economic deprivation which is usually associated with worst health status. To the extent t...

abstract objective:anxiety of pregnancy influences the childbirth factors and pregnancy outcomes. mindfulness is an approach that can be used to control this anxiety. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mindfulness-based islamic- spiritual schemas on pregnancy anxiety in pregnant women and their infants' physiological parameters.   method: this study was a pre- experimenta...

Accurate pain assessment in preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is complex. Infants who are born at early gestational ages (GA), and who have had greater early pain exposure, have dampened facial responses which may lead to under-treatment. Since behavioral and physiological responses to pain in infants are often dissociated, using multidimensional scales which combine th...
