In this study, sperm characteristics (motility parameters and ionic composition of seminal plasma) and effect of ions on motility (duration of motility of sperm and percentage of motile spermatozoa) and fertilization capacity (fertilization rate, hatching rate, survival rate and larvae length) were investigated in Ctenopharyngdon idella. The longest duration of motility obtained in solution con...

the considerable role of ziziphus spina christi in preserving water and soil and its resistance to heat and drought, the necessity of planting this species for afforestation and restoration of their habitats and urban green space is obvious. the aim of this study was to determine the best irrigation and seedbed treatments before planting for ziziphus spina christi seedling production. this stud...

BACKGROUND Most Medicare patients seeking emergency medical transport are treated by ambulance providers trained in advanced life support (ALS). Evidence supporting the superiority of ALS over basic life support (BLS) is limited, but some studies suggest ALS may harm patients. OBJECTIVE To compare outcomes after ALS and BLS in out-of-hospital medical emergencies. DESIGN Observational study ...

Survival of loblollypine seedlings stored in unheated buildings from four to nine weeks improved five to eight percentage points when they were immersed in water for an hour before planting. Soaking for a day gave essentially the same results, but soaking for one or two weeks reduced survival drastically. Brief immersion of s~edling packages every two weeks during storage impro~ed survival four...

background: osteosarcoma is the most common bone sarcoma, and the third most common malignancy in children and adolescents. before 1970, amputation was the sole treatment. eighty percent of patients died from metastatic diseases, most commonly in the lungs. over the past three decades, effective neoadjuvant (preoperative) and adjuvant (postoperative) chemotherapy protocols have improved the abi...

Field experiment was carried out at Ornamental Nursery, Department of Horticulture, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Agricultural University Peshawar, during 2009 to study “the response of plane tree cuttings to different planting dates”. Three types of cuttings (hardwood cuttings, semi-hardwood cuttings, Softwood cuttings) and three dates (6 January, 21 January and 5 February) were studied. The experim...
