BACKGROUND Current scientific evidence indicates that anemia in pregnancy, regardless of severity, is associated with an increased risk of maternal and fetal mortality. There is little published information about the bioavailability and bioequivalence of formulations containing both iron and folic acid. However, in vitro dissolution studies can provide important information on the likely relati...

Background: Because of the problems of achieving to mature oocytes, abillity to deliver the oocytes to mature outside of ovaries was a big discovery that somewhat could reduce the risk of ART`s.Because of the low percentage of in vitro oocyte maturation, research for improving the IVM condition and increasing the oocyte maturation rate is to be continued. The aim of this research is the study o...

We studied seed germination and seedling growth of the Mexican sunflower Tithonia diversifolia in Nigeria. This involved the usage of some dormancy-releasing methods and the effect of some concentrations of three herbicide formulations on the young seedlings. Initial germination tests on fresh and stored seeds revealed a low percentage germination of less than 30%. The seeds of the weed exhibit...

Rabbits from three synthetic lines were compared. Line V and A were selected for litter size at weaning and line R was selected for growth rate between weaning and slaughter time. Forty animals of each line were slaughtered at 9week of age. Comparisons between lines were made using Bayesian statistical techniques. Line R had a higher meat/bone ratio, higher loin percentage and higher ultimate p...

the codling moth, cydia pomonella, is the most important pest insect in apple orchards. efficacy of a native strain of the egg parasitoid wasp, trichogramma embryophagum, was statistically compared with chemical control and check treatments in an apple orchard. the best times for releasing the parasitoid wasps were determined by using a forecasting model based on estimation of growing degree ho...
