The idea of organizing a session for the 2010 American Anthropological Association meetings in New Orleans arose at this meeting. Subsequently Lori L. Jervis and I organized a session titled ‘Culture, Health a...

In this study phenotypic and genetic factors affecting the reproductive efficiency of Lori-Bakhtiari ewes were determined using 8202 reproductive records of 2478 ewes collected at Shooli research station in the southwestern part of Iran (Shahrekord) during 1989 to 2012. Reproductive efficiency over all consecutive lambing opportunities were calculated by adding the total reproductive efficiency...

the archaeological evidence suggests that iran has been one of the first origins of sheep domestication in the world. this study aims to investigate the genetic diversity of indigenous iranian sheep breeds using mitochondrial dna (mtdna) and to explore the evolutionary history of sheep domestication in iran. single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) markers in the control region of mtdna were used t...

Learning objects offer increased ability to share learning resources so that system-wide production costs can be reduced. But how can users select from a set of similar learning objects in a repository and be assured of quality? This article reviews recent developments in the establishment of learning object repositories and metadata standards, and presents a formative reliability analysis of a...

a study was conducted to evaluate effects of age at weaning on various growth characteristics and stress measures of zandi lambs. the lambs were weaned at 45 and 90 days of age. the body weights and average daily gain (adg) were monitored during the experimental period and 5 months of age. cortisol, glucose, blood urea nitrogen (bun) and lamb behavior (agitation, vocalization) were recorded bef...

Twenty four Ossimi male lambs with an average live body weight 3.75± 0.25 kg and 7 days age were randomly assigned to two feeding groups. The first one was left to suckle their dam's until 12 weeks of age (natural rearing) and served as a control group, while the other was early weaned at 8 weeks old. Both the two groups were supported by a starter ration besides dam's milk until being weaned. ...
