For now, many hospitals that require nurses to move patients by hand from stretchers a hospital bed, so design of stretcher with auxiliary functions lateral positioning and transferring for immobilized patients, which is mechanical mechanism consisted rigid rods, joints sliders, was designed help the between beds reduce their workload. Driven motors, rods can be rotated, stretched or shortened ...

Saffron production will be increased in arid regions by providing sufficient water through appropriate agronomic strategies. Therefore, in this investigation the impact of different rates of super absorbent polymer (SAP) including 0,10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 kg ha-1 was studied on saffron flowering traits during two growth cycles. Results showed that the influence of experimental factor was signifi...

Cytoskeleton-dependent changes in cell shape are well-established factors regulating a wide range of cellular functions including signal transduction, gene expression, and matrix adhesion. Although the importance of mechanical forces on cell shape and function is well established in cultured cells, very little is known about these effects in whole tissues or in vivo. In this study we used ex vi...

enterprise resource planning (erp) has become the most strategic tool for an organization to employ. a leading erp solution is sap®. it has been employed by organizations to enable them to collaborate on different projects and to integrate all aspects of operations. just as organizations have adopted erp solutions, they employed quality initiatives that are designed to help organizations maximi...

two field and laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of superabsorbent polymer (sap) and irrigation management on seed and essential oil yields of cumin, as well as the impact of water quality on water holding capacity of sap. salinity had a negative effect on the amount of water absorbed by sap (335 and 59 g h2o per g sap, for distilled water and solution of 0.5% nacl...

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs; EC: 2.5.1.18) are a ubiquitous family of eukaryotic and prokaryotic phase II metabolic isozymes. Genes encoding GSTM1 (OMIM: 138350), and GSTT1 (OMIM: 600436) are members of class mu and theta, respectively. The most common polymorphism in the GSTM1 is a deletion of the whole GSTM1 gene with a lack of enzyme activity. A homozygous deletion in the GSTT1 has also...

      Water flux in a young, 4-year old, cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) plantation was studied over a dry season, from November 2001 to March 2002, in the forest-savannah transition zone of Ghana, West Africa. The temperature-difference method was used over this five-month period to quantify the diurnal and day-to-day whole-tree sap flow (Qt) and hence the canopy scale transpiration (Ec). M...
