BACKGROUND Trimellitic anhydride (TMA) can induce specific IgE and occupational asthma. The significance of dermal exposure to TMA in immunologic sensitization and on subsequent airway responses is not clearly known. An animal model displaying both an early-phase airway response (EAR) and a late-phase airway response (LAR) after sensitization and subsequent inhalation challenge to a low-molecul...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of mandatory of self-fertilization on morphological and agronomic traits of orchad grass. three populations including self-fertilization, open pollination and parental genotypes (each consisted of 25 genotype of orchad grass) were evaluated using a split plot experiment according to a randomized complete block design. significant differences were ...

Background Maize fodder is being used as staple feed for livestock but it lacks protein and essential amino acids; lysine and tryptophan. Intercropping maize with leguminous soybean crop is promising technique under limited land resources of South Korea but it can only give considerable advantages when adequate distance is provided between corn and soybean rows. Main aim of present study was to...

In order to evaluate the effects of seed priming with Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) on dry matter remobilization and yield of maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in 2009 at the Research Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture University of Mohaghegh Ardabili. Factors included seed priming of...

An experiment was carried out in the field to ascertain "Influence of organic manures and zinc on growth, yield economics Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.)” during Zaid 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department Agronomy, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology, Sciences Prayagraj (U.P) L.). The results showed that treatment 6 [Vermicompost (2.6 t/ha) + Zinc (15 kg/ha)] significantly...

We conducted two experiments to evaluate the effects of corn supplementation, source of corn, and corn particle size on performance and nutrient utilization of lactating dairy cows. In experiment 1, treatments were 1) direct-cut grass-legume forage without supplement, 2) direct-cut forage plus 10 kg DM of ground dry shelled corn-based concentrate, and 3) direct-cut forage plus 10 kg DM of coars...

Traumatic tympanic membrane (TM) perforations heal spontaneously ranging from 78.7% to 88%. Otologists recommend a golden rule, keep the ear dry, as an important factor influencing TM healing. This way, Araujo et al., in their article “The Topical Use of Insulin Accelerates the Healing of Traumatic Tympanic Membrane Perforations,” describe a control group of Wistar rats in which traumatic perfo...
