introduction lentil is one of the major legume with protein content about 28% where is cultivated in different regions of iran, especially in arid and semi-arid regions with low or variable rainfall. in these regions abiotic stresses such as heat of the around the end of growing season, drought stress in early and late within the season and salt stress alone or together have a large negative im...

in order to determination of optimum quantity of seed pelleting materials due to sugar beet monogerm seed size. this study was carried out in seed technology department during 1997-1998. monogerm cultiver 9597 seed lot (300kg) was firstly graded by 7 round sieves and then 7 rectangle sieves graded each bound. some factors such as germination , monogermity and proportionate seed pelleting materi...

In this paper, the ratio of powers in the frequency bands of 2 β and  waves in EEG signals (termed as the 2 β /θ-ratio) was introduced as a potential enhancement in measuring anesthesia depth. The 2 β /θ-ratio was compared to the relative  -ratio which had been commercially used in the BIS monitor. Sensitivity and reliability of the 2 β /θ-ratio and EEG measurement locations were analyzed for...

Aquatic insect secondary production, emergence, and export of adults to the adjacent terrestrial ecosystem were assessed in Sycamore Creek, Arizona, by means of benthic sampling, emergence traps, and catch-nets that passively sampled adults falling into the stream. Annual secondary production was 120.9 ? 18.0 g-m-2 yr-t and emergence was 23.1 g.m-2 yr-t (in dry mass units). The ratio of annual ...

Seed blends containing various ratios of transgenic Bt maize (Zea mays L.) expressing the mCry3A+eCry3.1Ab proteins and non-Bt maize (near-isoline maize) were deployed alone and in combination with a soil applied pyrethroid insecticide (Force CS) to evaluate the emergence of the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, in a total of nine field environments across the Midwe...

Fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith, 1797) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is an important pest of maize (Zea mays L.) crops in Brazil. The effects of beta-cypermethrin, chlorfenapyr, chlorpyrifos, spinosad, etofenprox, triflumuron, alpha-cypermethrin/teflubenzuron, and lambda-cyhalothrin/thiamethoxam on Trichogramma pretiosum Riley, 1879 (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) immature stages we...

Methods. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify clinical trials that focused on the prevention of EA in children anaesthetized with sevoflurane, desflurane, or both. The data from each trial were combined using the Mantel–Haenszel model to calculate the pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval. I statistics were used to assess statistics heterogeneity and the funn...

Oral supplementation with 50, 100 and 150 μg/ml arginine to the silkworm larvae resulted in a significant increase in the larval weight, silkgland weight in only 150 μg/ml, cocooning percentage in all the fed groups, female cocoon weight, cocoon shell weight, cocoon shell ratio, male cocoon weight, cocoon shell weight and shell ratio is increased in all the treated groups, filament length were ...
