the initial step in any breeding program including the breeding of walnut is an evaluation of the genetic diversity of its population and on identification of its superior and promising genotypes. this research was carried out during 2009-2010 growing seasons to evaluate the walnut genotypes, population grown in the vicinities of eghlid city, as one of the richest walnut population regions in t...

We survey properties of the set of possible exponents of subsets of Zn (equivalently, exponents of primitive circulant digraphs on n vertices). Let En denote this exponent set. We point out that En contains the positive integers up to √ n, the ‘large’ exponents ⌊ 3 ⌋+1, ⌊ 2 ⌋, n−1, and for even n ≥ 4, the additional value n 2 −1. It is easy to see that no exponent in [n 2 +1, n−2] is possible, ...

This paper investigates the effect of ethanol-unleaded gasoline blends (E0,E10,E25,E35,andE65) computer interfaced, four-stroke single cylinder compression ignition engine. The said engine wasconverted to spark ignition and carburetion to suit ethanol fuel. A suitable provision was provided on theengine to vary the compression ratio thereby making the engine adaptable to operate at lowercompres...

The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize porcine amniotic fluid-derived multipotent stem cells (pAF-MSC). The porcine amniotic fluid (AF) from the amniotic cavity of pregnant gilts in the early stages of gestation (at E35) was collected and centrifuged for 5-10 min at 400 g to pellet cells. The primary culture of AF showed the multiple cell types, including the epithelial-like cell...

1. Abstract: The objective of this work was to develop suitable film formulations of ketorolac tromethamine (KT) for transdermal use and to investigate the effect of film composition and permeation enhancers on the in-vitro release and skin permeation of the drug. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC), and chitosan were used as film-forming polymers. The adhesive hydrop...
