conclusions exercise test performance was affected by lower quality of life and lower physical activity after lt. with the exception of hypertension, well known factors that affect the risk of coronary artery disease had no effect on the exercise test results. objectives this study examined potential relationships between physical activity, health-related quality of life (hrqol), risk factors f...

objective: the lipid composition of a mammal’s spermatozoa and seminal plasma vary in both structure and function. evidence exists to suggest that dietary supplementation with the appropriate polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) affects spermatogenesis, semen quality and sperm motility. therefore, this study has been conducted to evaluate the correlations between serum lipid profile and histolog...

the dry bubble disease, caused by lecanicillium fungicola, is an important fungal disease of white button mushroom in iranian mushroom production farms. twenty-three isolates of the pathogen collected in iran and identified as l. fungicola var. fungicola, were compared for genetic polymorphism, diversity in growth rate and virulence. ten universal rice primers (urp) were used to evaluate the ge...

Human exposure to genotoxic compounds present in ambient air has been studied using selected biomarkers in nonsmoking Danish bus drivers and postal workers. A large interindividual variation in biomarker levels was observed. Significantly higher levels of bulky carcinogen-DNA adducts (75.42 adducts/10(8) nucleotides) and of 2-amino-apidic semialdehyde (AAS) in plasma proteins (56.7 pmol/mg prot...

in order to investigation some soil characteristics and filed age effects on flower and corm yield of saffron, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on complete randomized design with five replications in two regions of neyshabur during growing season 2009-2010. treatments were included different filed ages (2, 4 and 6 years) and two geographical regions (eshagh abad and soltan abad). ...

Urban grasslands not only provide a recreational venue for urban residents, but also sequester organic carbon in vegetation and soils through photosynthesis, and release carbon dioxide through respiration, which largely contribute to carbon storage and fluxes at regional and global scales. We investigated organic carbon and nitrogen pools in subtropical turfs and found that dissolved organic ca...

this analysis was conducted on 31 synoptic stations in iran. initially, the mann-kendall test was administered in order to analyse the trend of alterations of these two components over time and the results suggest that 16% of the stations show significant relationship with annual precipitation (positive and negative). more stations showed significant relationships between sunspots and minimum a...
