Weeds reduce yield competing with the tomato for nutrients, water, and light. Also, some common broadleaf weeds such as nightshade, cocklebur, pigweed are hosts to bugs, disease, viruses. Weed control herbicides is focused directly or indirectly on improving competitive ability of crop regard weeds. A field study was performed investigate pre-plant pre-emergence herbicide's efficacy cv. Alsanca...

Decapod crustaceans, like many other animals, engage in agonistic behaviors that enhance their ability to compete for resources with conspecifics. These agonistic behaviors include the release of chemical signals as well as physical aggressive and submissive behaviors. In this study, we report that Caribbean spiny lobsters, Panulirus argus, use both urine-borne chemical signaling and physical a...

Taxon specific lens crystallins in vertebrates are either similar or identical with various metabolic enzymes. These bifunctional crystallins serve as structural protein in lens along with their catalytic role. In the present study, we have partially purified and characterized lens crystallin from Indian spiny-tailed lizard (Uromastyx hardwickii). We have found lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activ...

A recent publication [1] introduced a growth procedure for planar maps, whose almost sure limit is “the uniform infinite 3-connected planar map”. A classical construction of Brooks, Smith, Stone and Tutte [7] associates a squaring of a rectangle (i.e. a tiling of a rectangle by squares) to any finite, edge-rooted planar map with nonseparating root edge. We use this construction together with th...

In layer 4 of the somatosensory cortex, the glutamatergic synapses that interconnect spiny stellate (SpS) neurons, which are the major targets of thalamocortical input, differ from most other neocortical excitatory synapses in that they have an extremely large NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-mediated component that is relatively insensitive to voltage-dependent Mg2+ blockade. We now report that this uniq...

In a large number of allergic individuals, inhalant allergens are important causative and triggering agents in respiratory allergies. It is essential to survey the pollen and mold around the patient’s environment for the diagnosis and treatment of airborne allergy. Rotorod samplers were installed at well-ventilated places in seven collecting stations in Seoul, the capital of Korea, which has a ...

Background: Asthma and allergic rhinitis are among the most common diseases in the world. Objective: The aim of this study was to detect, by skin prick test, aeroallergens in allergic patients in Sari, Mazandaran in north of Iran. Methods: This is a prospective study of skin prick test of aeroallergens in asthma, allergic rhinitis and their combination with clinical diagnosis. Three hundred and...
