The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of Se inclusion in high-DHA and vitamin E microdiets (5 g DHA/100 g dry weight and 300 mg vitamin E/100 g dry weight; 5 g DHA/100 g dry weight and 300 mg vitamin E/100 g dry weight supplemented with Se) in comparison with a control diet (1 g DHA/100 g dry weight and 150 mg vitamin E/100 g dry weight) on sea bass larval growth, survi...

BACKGROUND Shorter delivered dialysis times are associated with increased all-cause mortality. Whether shorter delivered dialysis times also associate with an increase in blood pressure (BP) and reduce the ability of probing dry weight to lower BP is unclear. METHODS Among patients participating in the Dry-Weight Reduction in Hypertensive Hemodialysis Patients (DRIP) trial, interdialytic ambu...

in order to investigate the effects of plant growth promoting bacteria on growth characteristic of wheat, an experiment was conducted at the research greenhouse, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in year 2009. a completely randomized design based on factorial arrangement (3×6) with three replications was used. the first factor consisted of three cultivars of wheat (c...

to evaluate symbiotic effectiveness and salt tolerance of sinorhizobium meliloti strains, 50 rhizobial strains were isolated from root nodules of medicago sativa cultivated in tehran and zanjan fields. under n-free conditions, the symbiotic effectiveness of different sinorhizobium meliloti strains of bami cultivar were evaluated under greenhouse conditions using 50 sinorhizobium meliloti strain...

The response of soybean to biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) varies due factors such as plant variety, soil, and environmental conditions, which can compromise the N2 capacity. objective this study was evaluate additional inoculation with B. japonicum at different growth stages a strategy improve fixation. This determined by studying nodulation BNF isotope dilution method. experiment carried o...

Due to the lack of scientific knowledge for the use of substrate and best fertilizing method in the growth of Araucaria excelsa, it is crucially important to find the most appropriate planting substrate and fertilizing method. The effect of conventional fertilizing method and the application of Fe nanofertilizer were studied on the growth of A. excelsa in which six fertilizing methods and three...

1. Children aged 6-35 months in an urban community in The Gambia, West Africa, were weighed and their lengths measured at four surveys over an 18-month period, twice towards the end of the rains, and twice during the dry season. 2. Relative to international standards, height-for-age deteriorated steadily with age, while weight-for-age fell sharply in the second-half of infancy but showed no fur...

dodder is an obligate parasite of many plant families and among dodder species cuscuta campestris has the most diverse around the world. extensive infestation to dodder recently has been reported in some sugerbeet production regions of khorasan provinces. so, in this study greenhouse and field experiments were conducted to test and charachterize the tolerance of commercial sugarbeet varieties t...

this research was conducted in order to evaluate genetic diversity, and screening the tolerant genotypes of sugar beet subjected to continuous and severe water stress in the experimental farm of sugar beet seed institute (sbsi) in karaj in 2008. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with 6 replications. fifteen o-types which were tolerant to drought plus 5 (check) genotypes we...
