Buffaloes are well known domestic animals in Asia, Mediterranean and Latin American countries of the world for different breeding purposes such as milk, meat, draught and capital [23]. The buffalo has been regarded as poor reproductive efficiency and characterized by low conception rates [6, 22, 23]. Seasonality of buffalo breeding results in a milk supply that exceeds demand in summer and autu...

Strike-slip faults may be traced along thousands of kilometers, e.g., the San Andreas Fault (USA) or the North Anatolian Fault (Turkey). A closer look at such continental-scale strike faults reveals localized complexities in fault geometry, associated with fault segmentation, secondary faults and a change of related hazards. The North Anatolian Fault displays such complexities nearby the mega c...

similar, and there was a tendency toward dental protrusion in the Egyptian groups [11]. Hassan evaluated the cephalometric features of a Saudi population living in the western area of Saudi Arabia and revealed distinct cephalometric features in the Saudis [12]. In their studies on Anatolian Turkish adults who are considered part of the Mediterranean population, Basciftci et al. established ceph...

Sex determination from skeletal human remains by discriminant function analysis is one of the methods utilized in the forensic and osteoarcheological sciences. The purpose of the present study is to establish metric standards for sex determination for medieval Anatolian populations using scapular measurements. The database for this research consisted of 93 adult skeletal remains (47 males and 4...

The purpose of this study was to determine the G>C mutation on exon 9 (G21234C) Bovine Smoothened (SMO) gene polymorphism by using Cfr13I restriction enzyme with PCR-RFLP method in both Anatolian Black cattle and Water Buffaloes. According SMO gene, results showed that there were three genotypes such as GG, GC CC cattle, but only one genotype GG Allele frequencies estimated 0.35 0.65 for G C...
