this study was evaluated some strategies and determined the suitable selection index for afshari sheep using simulated data. the relative importance of traits was determined based on the estimated economic values and consequently, the most benefit traits were applied to selection indexes construction. the interest indexes were different combination of traits including ewe body weight (ebw), ann...

The ToxChip, a DNA microarray chip, allows the monitoring of the expression levels of thousands of different genes at a time, thereby condensing months of painstaking laboratory tasks into a day's work. For toxicology researchers in particular, this tool is important because it promises a more effective way to identify environmental hazards and their effects on DNA. The ToxChip, developed by NI...

this study investigated the effect of dietary supplementation with calcium salts of fatty acids using 48 afshari ewes randomly allocated to four treatments. all groups used in flushing period and only the source of energy were different between rations. the ewes were divided into four groups: a-barely grain; group b-received 5% of csfa with source of flaxseed oil (w3); group c-received 5% of cs...

Recently Afshari et al. reported on the detection of a new infrared band which was assigned to the "long-anticipated polar isomer of the OCS dimer" [J. Chem. Phys. 126, 071102 (2007)]. The authors report here the microwave confirmation of their results. The lowest energy, nonpolar isomer of (OCS)2 has long been known from IR spectroscopy, while the polar form has only been deduced from qualitat...

introduction one of the animal breeding aims is increasing the economic efficiency. therefore, mating among selected animals in order to enhance economic efficiency should also supply variation in population for next generations’ selection. this study was performed to estimate performance in cross breed lambs resulting from crosses of shal, moghani, afshari and varamini rams with varamini ewes,...
