Agarose and/or cellulose acetate electrophoresis was performed on the CSF of one thousand patients. In patients with clinically definite multiple sclerosis (MS) (N = 267) 92.8% had oligoclonal banding (O.B.). In patients with possible MS (N = 283) O.B. was present in 31.1%. In patients with other neurological diseases (N = 450) O.B. was present in 8% (N = 36). Nineteen non-MS patients with posi...

plant density can be as a supplementary section in the increase of the yield of wheat products. in order to research the effect of density on the yield and yield components in wheat, an experiment was conducted in the agricultural research farm located in araghi mahalleh, gorgan city using three density levels (150, 262, 375 plant in square meter) and three cultivars of wheat (tajan, falat, n-8...

Traditional database systems are built around the query-at-a-time model. This approach tries to optimize performance in a best-effort way. Unfortunately, best effort is not good enough for many modern applications. These applications require response time guarantees in high load situations. This paper describes the design of a new database architecture that is based on batching queries and shar...

Seed weight is a very important and complex trait in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). The seed weight of rapeseed shows great variation in its natural germplasm resources; however, the morphological, cytological and genetic causes of this variation have remained unclear. In the present study, nine highly pure inbred rapeseed lines with large seed weight variation and different genetic backgrounds ...

this study was conducted to investigate some moisture-dependent engineering properties of russian olive fruit including fruit dimensions, one thousand seed mass, surface area, sphericity, bulk and true density, angle of sliding and static friction coefficient against different surfaces. the physical properties of russian olive fruit were evaluated as a function of moisture content in the range ...

The purpose of this geographically defined national study was to evaluate the performance of extremely low birthweight children (ELBW < 1000 g) born in Iceland in 1991-1995 and compare to a cohort of matched control children born full term. The Miller Assessment for Preschoolers (MAP) was used to provide an overall profile of 32 ELBW children and 55 control children at 5 years of age. The resul...

The process parameters of enzymatic hydrolysis and molecular weight distribution of glutamine (Gln) peptides from soybean meal were investigated. The Protamex(®) hydrolysis pH of 6.10, temperature of 56.78 °C, enzyme to substrate ratio (E/S) of 1.90 and hydrolysis time of 10.72 h were found to be the optimal conditions by response surface methodology (RSM) for a maximal degree of hydrolysis (DH...
