background: leucocytozoonosis is a disease of birds caused by obligate intracellular protozoa of the genus leucocytozoon. we determined the prevalence of leucocytozoon spp. using light and transmis-sion electron microscopy in domestic birds in southwest of iran. methods: a total of 825 blood smears from 275 birds were examined for presence of infection. the structure morphology of leucocytozoon...

in order to perform breeding programs and improve production of native chickens, preserving genetic diversity in different areas of iran is important due to the reduced available population. genome sequencing is considered the most functional approach to determine the phylogeny relation between close populations. the aim of the present study was the evaluation of the phylogeny and genetic nucle...

in view of native/nonnative language teacher dichotomy, different characteristics have been assigned to these 2 groups. the dichotomy has been the source of different actions and measures to clarify the positive and negative points of being (non)native teachers. in recent years, many researchers have revisited this dichotomy. the challenge to the dichotomy can be a source of motivation to explo...

Dittrichia viscosa (L.) Greuter is a shrub native to the Mediterranean, however, declared as very invasive species in Australia and North America. Environmental (climatic) socio-economic (land abandonment) changes can trigger different adaptive mechanisms cause behavior, influencing invasion dynamics. Motivated by recently noticed change of D. behavior its Mediterranean habitat, we discuss prop...

This study examined the contribution of both auditory and visual cues in native and non-native speech perception. Three groups of listeners, a group of native speakers of English and two groups of EFL learners (elementary and advanced), were tested on their perception of auditory-only, visual-only and audiovisual English stimuli. The audiovisual stimuli included a congruent (matched auditory-vi...

Researchers stated that learning and applying certain set of lexical bundles of native lecturers by non-native lecturers would help students improve their proficiency through incidental vocabulary input. The present study shed light on the lexical bundles in hard science lectures used by Native and Non-native lecturers in international universities with the main purpose of analyzing the structu...

in pancreatic survey, quantitative and morphological characteristics could be fundamental variables for the evaluation of some structures. the aim of this study was the application of stereological methods for estimation of quantitative parameters and morphological evaluation of the pancreas in chickens. ten adult male and ten adult female native chickens were used in this study. routine tissue...
