field trials with ficus benjamina l.were conducted at the experimental farm of faculty of agriculture, university azad jiroft in 2012 growth seasons. the aim of this work is to study the effect of foliar application with gibberellic acid (ga3) and benzyladenine (ba) at 0, 100 and 200 mg.l-1 on the vegetative growth and photosynthetic pigments of ficus benjamina plants. the obtained results show...

abstract the objective of this study was to assess the effects of few arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on the growth and yield indices of two wheat varieties in a saline soil (ec=10/1 dsm-1). a factorial experiment with completely randomized design with four replications was conducted to investigate the effects of three levels of fungal inoculation (non inoc...

CONTEXT Use of growth hormone (GH) therapy to promote growth in children with idiopathic short stature is controversial. A fundamental issue underlying the controversy is uncertainty about the magnitude of effectiveness of GH for this condition. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of GH on short- and long-term growth in idiopathic short stature. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review of controlled an...

BACKGROUND Turner syndrome (TS) affects about one in 1500 to 2500 live-born females. One of the most prevalent and salient features of the syndrome is extremely short stature. Untreated women are approximately 20 to 21 cm shorter than normal women within their respective populations. Recombinant human growth hormone (hGH) has been used to increase growth and final height in girls who have Turne...

This paper presents a review of CEABOT, the unique humanoids competition for university students at Spain wide level. This annual competition started in 2006 and it has been celebrated during the last eight editions. Aimed at initiate graduate and master’s students in humanoid robotics, they have to program the sensor and motor skills of little humanoids built by themselves, or tune up a commer...

In clinical trials, subjects are usually entered one at a time, and their responses to treatment monitored sequentially. Regular monitoring of trial progress in the early stages is crucial for accurate reporting of the final results. This paper discusses in detail the principles of quality data management in clinical trials, with specific reference to three clinical data management systems name...

The review is devoted to a relatively young direction in therapy of malignant gliomas, which is based on applying monoclonal antibodies against tumour-associated antigens. The current data on efficacy of main therapeutic agents in clinical practice or clinical trials concerning high-grade gliomas, especially glioblastoma multiforme, is summarized. Of particular interest is bevacizumab, a humani...

This critical review examines efficacy of CILT in comparison to traditional treatment methods for adults with aphasia as well as the efficacy of modified versions of the original CILT protocol.

Overall, re...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to provide recommendations for addressing comorbidity in clinical trial design and conduct in multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS We held an international workshop, informed by a systematic review of the incidence and prevalence of comorbidity in MS and an international survey about research priorities for studying comorbidity including their relation to clinical trials in MS....
