In this report, a rare case of pregnancy in a mouse without mating and during breastfeeding is presented. Out-bred NMRI mice were prepared for mating. Two female mice without superovulation were caged with one male. The next morning, vaginal plaque was not detected; therefore, females were kept in the cage with the same male for 4 more days. One of the females delivered 4 offspring: one female ...

we collected 60 adult males and 85 adult females of trapelus lessonae de filippi, 1863 in early may 2008 from central iranian plateau to study sexual dimorphism in morphological traits as well as female reproductive traits. size-related sexual dimorphism occurred in all the compared body dimensions. the largest female was 83.88 mm in snout-vent length, and the largest male was 73.12 mm. as well...

Little research has addressed IT professionals’ script debugging strategies, or considered whether there may be gender differences in these strategies. What strategies do male and female scripters use and what kinds of mechanisms do they employ to successfully fix bugs? Also, are scripters’ debugging strategies similar to or different from those of spreadsheet debuggers? Without the answers to ...

we collected the specimens of turcinoemacheilus hafezi throughout the spawning season (january to july, 2012) in beshar river (south-west iran) and investigated its age, growth, and reproductive characteristics. the maximum age was 2 + years. total length and weight of the specimens ranged from 29 to 61 mm and 0.17 to 1.39 g, respectively. length-weight relationship was estimated as w = 3e-05tl...

: the purpose of this study is to identify the gender differences in identity styles, commitment and quality of friendship. for this reason, 400 high school students from 19 educational regions in tehran (males –females) are chosen randomly. three scales are administrated: identity style inventory-six grade (white et al, 1998), quality of friendship (hejazi, zohrevand, 1380) and socio-metric qu...

Age, growth and reproduction were investigated for Chondrostoma regium, collected monthly (November 2007- August 2008) from the Dimeh Spring region, Zayandeh Roud River, Iran. The maximum age of collected female and male fish were estimated based on scale increments as five and four years respectively. Von Bertalanffy growth equations were calculated as L_t=246[1-e^(-0.206(t-0.034))], W_t=163.2...
