This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers on nutritive value of safflower forage and silage by in situ and in vitro methods. The safflower forage was harvested at flowering stage, chopped to 3-5 cm particles and then ensiled in the laboratory silos for 60 days. The experimental treatments included: 1. Unfertilized forage (control), 2. Phosphor...

Coverings of the brain As introduced in the 2nd lecture, the brain is covered by three layers namely: dura mater, arachnoid, pia matter. The dura mater is of significance due to the venous sinuses and is the toughest layer/s (two layers in fact) – and its upper layer is directly attached to the periosteum. The blood vessels travel between the arachnoid and pia mater. The arachnoid and pia mater...

BACKGROUND Mater is a maternal effect gene required for early embryonic development in mice, and its protein serves as an autoantigen in a mouse model of autoimmune premature ovarian failure. METHODS Human MATER cDNA was cloned by PCR techniques. The mRNA and protein were determined using hybridization and immunodetection respectively. The cDNA and protein sequences were analysed using bioinf...

in order to study the effect of light quality and quantity on morphological and physiological characteristics of two late and early maize (zea maize l.) s.c., an experiment was conducted in greenhouse conditions, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during 2008. the experiment was carried out factorial based on randomized complete block design with six treatments and three replications. differ...

This paper describes how to integrate EMF with the MATER metamodelling framework. It covers first, how EMF is used to implement MATER. Then XMI model import to MATER is described including import of EMF models. Finally, the direct integration on meta-model level is discussed.

BACKGROUND Although reossification of large calvarial defects is possible in children, adults lack this tissue engineering capacity. In this study, the authors compared the differences in gene expression between juvenile and adult dura mater using a mouse cDNA microarray with 42,000 unique elements. METHODS Non-suture-associated parietal bone was harvested from 6-day-old and 60-day-old mice. ...
