Lethal effects of trinitrotoluene (TNT) to juvenile sheepshead minnows (JSHM) (Cyprinodon variegatus) were assessed in ten-day water exposures. Ten-day median lethal concentrations (LC50s) were 2.3 and 2.5 mg L(-1), the 10-d median lethal residue value (LR50) was 26.1 micromol kg(-1) wet weight (ww), and bioconcentration factors (BCFs) ranged from 0.7 to 2.4 L kg(-1). The lethal effects of TNT ...

(Co) variance components and genetic parameters for growth traits in Arman sheep were estimated, using data collected during an 11-year period (1999-2010), by applying the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) procedure under univariate and bivariate animal models. The studied traits were body weight of lamb at birth (BW), body weight at 3 months of age as weaning weight (WW), body weight at 6 m...

     Salt crystallization is one of the most powerful weathering agents that may cause a rapid change in the mechanical properties of stones, and thus limit their durability. Consequently, determining the mechanical properties of stones due to salt crystallization is important for natural building stones used in marine environmental and mild climatic conditions, which expose excessive salt crys...

Breeding objectives were developed for Targhee sheep under rangeland production conditions. Traits considered were those for which EPD were available from the US National Sheep Improvement Program and included direct and maternal effects on 120-d weaning weight (WW and MM, respectively); yearling weight (YW); yearling fleece weight, fiber diameter, and staple length; and percent lamb crop (PLC)...

BACKGROUND The scale of overweight and obesity in the UK places a considerable burden on the NHS. In some areas the NHS has formed partnerships with commercial companies to offer weight management services, but there has been little evaluation of these schemes.This study is an independent audit of the Weight Watchers NHS Referral scheme and evaluates the weight change of obese and overweight ad...

This letter reports the observation of photon-induced production W-boson pairs, γγ→WW. The analysis uses 139 fb−1 LHC proton–proton collision data taken at s=13 TeV recorded by ATLAS experiment during years 2015–2018. measurement is performed selecting one electron and muon, corresponding to decay diboson system as WW→e±νμ∓ν final state. background-only hypothesis rejected with a significance w...

The epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) is a critical component of the pathway maintaining salt and water balance. The channel is regulated by members of the Nedd4 family of ubiquitin-protein ligases, which bind to channel subunits and catalyze channel internalization and degradation. ENaC mutations that abolish this interaction cause Liddle's syndrome, a genetic form of hypertension. Here, we test...

the objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of different levels of nitrogen (n) and salinity on biochemical mechanisms of two wheat genotypes. a field experiment was carried out in a three replicate rcbd split factorial experiment in salinity station of college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran in 2007-2008 and 2008-2009. three levels of salt stress (1.3, 5,...

PURPOSE To compare sensitivity and specificity of achromatic perimetry with size I stimulus (WW-I) with standard automated perimetry (SITA strategy) and blue on yellow perimetry (SWAP) for early diagnosis of glaucoma. METHODS Seventy-three eyes of 73 suspects, glaucomatous and normal subjects underwent automated perimetry with SITA 24-2, WW-I and SWAP. After application of specific criteria o...
