Understanding the genetic basis of phenotypic variation is essential for predicting the direction and rate of phenotypic evolution. We estimated heritabilities and genetic correlations of morphological (fork length, pectoral and pelvic fin ray counts, and gill arch raker counts) and life-history (egg number and individual egg weight) traits of pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) from Likes Cre...

A phylogenetic analysis of the Old World genus Doronicum (26 species, 4 subspecies) based on sequence data of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA, the chloroplast spacer trnL-F, and morphology is presented. Congruence among the three data sets was explored by the computing of several indices, all of which suggest homogeneity between only the two molecular m...

The aim of the study was to evaluate atherosclerosis in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) through the assessment of morphological and functional measures of subclinical atherosclerosis. Twenty patients [M/F=12/8, age (median/range) 43.5/28-69 years; disease duration (median/range) 9.7/1-36) years] with AS classified according to modified New York criteria and twenty age and sex related healthy contro...

This research looked at the state of soils faced with urbanization processes in Arctic region Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District (YANAO). Soils recently used agriculture, which are now included infrastructure cities Salekhard, Labytnangi, Kharsaim, and Aksarka form various parks public gardens were studied. Morphological, physico-chemical, agrochemical studies selected conducted. Significant diff...

This study reports on extensive and in-depth investigations into the morphological, photosynthetic, physiological indices of 10 different types Cypripedium plant introduced from Changbai Mountain. It is an important prerequisite for ex situ conservation plants to provide new insights their photosynthesis. result can not only promote production vegetative but also with lots flowers characteristi...

The water management initiatives in freshwater systems focus on availability to preserve this resource for human uses and the health of aquatic ecosystems. This work presents an assessment potential pollution risk caused by metal suspended sediments. objective study was determine partitioning, association, geochemical fractionation metals sediments from a surface body. Additionally, environment...

BACKGROUND Clinical and histological criteria for ependymoma prognosis are well recognized. Recently few studies have been done based on Immunohistochemistry for prognostication of these tumours. In this study we have correlated the histological spectrum with immmunoexpression of p53 and Ki67 in these tumors. AIMS To know the incidence of ependymomas; study their morphological spectrum and to...

Stable carbon isotope analysis in tooth enamel is a well-established approach to infer C3 and C4 dietary composition in fossil mammals. The bulk of past work has been conducted on large herbivorous mammals. One important finding is that their dietary habits of fossil large mammals track the late Miocene ecological shift from C3 forest and woodland to C4 savannah. However, few studies on carbon ...
