BACKGROUND Oral immunotherapy (OIT) has shown promise in inducing desensitization for food allergy. However, there are safety concerns regarding the frequency and severity of adverse events during food OIT. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of Ketotifen premedication on adverse reactions during peanut OIT. METHODS A randomized single blind placebo controlled pilot study was performed. Peanut...

The effects of three preslaughter diets on heifer beef quality were investigated. Heifers (n = 45) were divided into three groups and fed for ad libitum consumption either maize silage, grass silage, or a 50:50 mixture of maize silage and grass silage. Meat quality was determined by measuring color, lipid oxidation, alpha-tocopherol levels, and fatty acid composition. Beef from the maize silage...

Rotating soybean (Glycine max cv. Kirby) with peanut (Arachis hypogaea cv. Florunner) for managing Meloidogyne arenaria race 1 was studied for 3 years (1985-87) in a field near Headland, Alabama. Each year soybean plots had lower soil numbers of M. arenaria second-stage juveniles (J2) at peanut harvest than did plots in peanut monocnlture. Peanut following either 1 or 2 years of soybean resulte...

Abstract In this article, we present a multiplex real-time PCR method for simultaneous, sensitive and specific detection semi-quantitative estimation of the allergenic species peanut, hazelnut, walnut cashew in food. Due to use multicopy target sequences, very ingredients was possible. The validated in-house as well by collaborative trial with 12 laboratories. Within ring trial, 0.64 mg/kg (i.e...

in order to investigate the effects of biological and chemical phosphorous fertilizers and various proportions of maize and grass pea intercropping on yield and yield components of both crops, two experiments were conducted simultaneously in research farm of kerman university and commercial convention farm of bardsir-dashtkar in 2009-2010. the experimental design at two regions was randomized c...

This research aimed at investigating the effect of different levels of nitrogen and planting patterns on dry matter production and growth physiological indices in intercropping maize and sunflower. To do this a split plot experiment carried out based randomized complete block design with three replications in research field of Shushtar Islamic Azad University. The main plot included three level...

Motion is ubiquitous in the physical world, yet its study is much less developed than that of another common physical modality, namely shape. While we have several standardized mathematical shape descriptions, and even entire disciplines devoted to that area–such as Computer-Aided Geometric Design (CAGD)—the state of formal motion descriptions is still in flux. This in part because motion descr...
