Not all regions of the world have access to advanced means analysis, such as molecular or quantitative genetics. In absence these other selection, phenotypic analyses are used for breed differentiation well evaluate productive aptitude. The objective this work is characterize morphometric variables and zoometric indices, morphological phaneroptic characterization, Guaymi Creole cattle in conser...

the mean noise levels were measured in the different sections of six representative mills in the isfahan area, and audiometric measurements were made in 282 male workers employed in these mills. the mean noise levels were on average 95 dba in the weaving sections and 88 d ba in the spinning sections. the audiometric findings showed a significant loss of gearing in the textile workers as compare...

three hundred twin births from a hospital in tehran, iran have been analyzed for seasonal variation at birth and physical measurements. the results show that the highest twinning rates for mm (5.61), ff (7.73) and mf (5.36) were seen in april, january and september, respectively. the four physical measurements at birth showed non-significant differences among the male and female twins, but mm a...

Linear appraisal systems (LAS) are effective strategies to systematically collect zoometric information from animal populations. Traditionally applied LAS in goats was developed considering the variability and scales found highly selected breeds. As a result, traditional may no longer cover different contexts of goat breeds widespread throughout world, departures normality be indicative stages ...

background: according to the relationship between general and central obesity with chronic disease and also the effect of the dietary fatty acids on anthropometric measurements, the purpose of the current study was to assess the  effect of a mufa-rich diet on the anthropometric measurements indexes in overweight women. methods: this randomized cross-over clinical trial included 17 overweight wo...

Counterilluminating animals use ventral photogenic organs (photophores) to mimic the residual downwelling light and cloak their silhouette from upward-looking predators. To cope with variable conditions of pelagic light environments they typically adjust their luminescence intensity. Here, we found evidence that bioluminescent sharks instead emit a constant light output and move up and down in ...

This paper reports the synthesis, characterization, photophysical and structural properties of the homologous series of good emitting pentacoordinated GaQ'2L complexes 1-3, where Q' is 2-methyl-quinolin-8-olate and L is a phenolate substituted in para position with respect to the oxygen donor atom. A combined approach between the experimental structural analysis (i.e. the molecular fragments in...

Transition from the role of passive student to medical practitioner begins with learning the first clinical skill. This transition can be stressful for those experiencing it and to some extent by those coordinating it. Logistically, it requires demonstration of the techniques to the entire class by a single practitioner or to smaller groups of students by multiple practitioners. The former redu...

The ability to synthesize upconversion nanocrystals (UCNCs) with tailored upconversion luminescence and controlled size is of great importance for biophotonic applications. However, until now, limited success has been met to prepare bright, ultrasmall, and monodispersed β-NaYF₄:Yb3+/Er3+ UCNCs. In this work, we report on a synthetic method to produce monodisperse hexagonal NaYF₄:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoc...

BACKGROUND Physiological noise is one of the major confounds for fMRI. A common class of correction methods model noise from peripheral measures, such as ECGs or pneumatic belts. However, physiological noise correction has not emerged as a standard preprocessing step for fMRI data yet due to: (1) the varying data quality of physiological recordings, (2) non-standardized peripheral data formats ...
