Background: Neck mass is one of the most common clinical findings in all age groups. Differential diagnosis of masses includes a range of pathologies from congenital to infectious or neoplasm. Understanding the risk factors of neck masses can help us to assess them properly. The purpose of this study is to obtain the epidemiological and clinical features of different neck masses in Kerman, Iran...

Phenomenological issues of no-scale structure of Kähler potential are reexamined, which arises in various approaches to supersymmetry breaking. When no-scale boundary conditions are given at the Grand Unified scale and universal gaugino masses are postulated, a bino mass is quite degenerate with right-handed slepton masses and the requirement that the lightest superparticle (LSP) be neutral sup...

in order to study the effects of planting systems on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of some onion genotypes, an experiment was conducted in a split plot arrangement in randomized complete block design with three replications in behbahan agriculture research station for two years (2012-2014). in this study two planting systems: onion set and transplant were assigned to main plots a...

nowadays, a lot of frost damage is inflicted upon vineyards because of changing weather conditions as well as introducing new of cultivars and genotypes from different geographical regions. on the other hand, the prevalence of a wide variety of grapes in iran, the provides possibility of selection of superior and cold tolerant varieties (or single plants) which is proposed a strong hypothetical...

because of insufficient factors including facilities, budget, human resources as well as time watershed operation is not applicable throughout the basin. as a result, watershed operation should be performed in the sub-basins in which is more affectionate and the risk frequency of some events such as destruction, degradation; physical and financial damage and also flooding are considerably high....

Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)) can be a pest in organic onion production on Prince Edward Island. This study was to examine the effect of planting time and variety on infestation levels and damage by onion thrips on cabbage (Brassicae oleracea capitala (L.)). A field site was planted with 2 main and 8 lesser varieties of cabbage over 4 planting dates. Some varie...

Global warming has become a major threat to life on the earth, and recognizing its impacts can definitely be useful in controlling mitigating adverse effects. In this study, time series variations air temperature indices (frost days, Tmin, Tmax, Tmean, Tminmin, Tmaxmax, Tsoil-min), De Martonne aridity index (IDM), total precipitation were investigated using long-term meteorological data (1960–2...

fanleaf degeneration, a disease caused by grapevine fanleaf virus (gflv), is considered as the most destructive grapevine viral disease worldwide causing severe losses in vineyards, annually. gflv is apparently believed to have originated from ancient persia and therefore, to restrict it in its further infections, a precise identification along with a monitoring of its distribution pattern is c...
