The external appearance of brood fish has long been used to assess the stage of sexual development. In some species, males change in appearance during the spawning season (e.g., vivid breeding colors in cichlids, hooked jaw in salmon, and roughened texture of the pectoral fins or head of cyprinids). These physical changes make it relatively easy to identify sexually mature males. However, secon...

Early-life nutrition has been suggested to influence the progression of chronic disease. In this issue of Clinical Science, Ozanne and colleagues argue that the pre- and post-natal diet can have a significant impact on the risk of becoming overweight in later life. Although an intriguing finding that warrants further investigation, it is most likely that the key to stemming the obesity pandemic...

Studies of physiological diversity and its effect on the expression of traits in plants are used in breeding programs as a selective tool with the aim of selecting special attributes for creating a new product. In this study, the correlation coefficients among 17 horticultural traits of 34 genotypes from 11 different places of Semnan province were examined. A significant positive correlation wa...

AAC Justice is a white-hulled spring oat ( Avena sativa L.) cultivar. It was postulated to carry the crown rust resistance gene Pc91, which effective against prevalent races on Canadian Prairies at time of its release. had very good loose and covered smut moderate most prairie stem races, intermediate in reaction barley yellow dwarf virus. has high test weight, average kernel groat percentage p...

The phenomenon of “fat shaming” (in particular with its aspect the especially harsh criticism corpulence in young adult women) seems nearly non-existent ancient Classical literature. extant satirical depictions fatness are uncommon and aimed, almost exclusively, at overweight men. author paper analyses this description, background moral philosophy, as well comments on plumpness gluttony context...

Introduction: The mechanical properties of joints have a significant impact on the dynamic response transmission tower structures. Methods: Considering bolt slip, numerical model K-joint is established. K-joints are studied from three aspects: failure mode, load-displacement hysteretic curve, and stiffness degradation by method. effects preload, friction coefficient, member strength analyzed. R...
