The present study explores demographics, pre-college characteristics and multi-year (2003-2013) tracking of a census 53,077 students who initially declared STEM major upon entering research university in Texas seeks to predict graduation with non-STEM degree. Guided by QuantCrit theory, we use multilevel models determine factors that predicted persistence any STEM, as well marginal effects expl...

this study was conducted to assess the effects of irrigation and plant growth promoting bactera on seed yield and qualitative characteristics of black cumin (nigella sativa l.) at the experimental station of the research institute of forest and rangeland, damavan region, iran. a split-plot experimental design, based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications, was used. i...

Among all known materials, we found that a forest of vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes behaves most similarly to a black body, a theoretical material that absorbs all incident light. A requirement for an object to behave as a black body is to perfectly absorb light of all wavelengths. This important feature has not been observed for real materials because materials intrinsically...

wheat is the most important crop of iran and black or stem rust disease is one of the most severe diseases threatning the wheat production. in order to identify new resistant sources against the new race of stem rust virulent on plant with sr 31gene, the selected iranian landraces accessions of national plant gene bank of iran wheat collection were evaluated. the most virulent isolate of puccin...

BACKGROUND Defining cancer stem cells and their origins is of much controversy,and constitutes a challenged knockout for cell targeting- anticancer drugs. Herein,we put forward a hypothetic model for cancer stem cells initiation from bone marrow stem cells. These later, will differentiate into an ancestral progenitor that activates a memorial program - the black box cassette- that is responsibl...
