Intermittent mildly stressful situations provide opportunities to learn, practice, and improve coping in a process called stress inoculation. Stress inoculation also enhances cognitive control and response inhibition of impulsive motivated behavior. Cognitive control and motivation have been linked to striatal dopamine D2 and/or D3 receptors (DRD2/3) in rodents, monkeys, and humans. Here, we st...

Six most abundant and commercially valuable croakers (Sciaenidae) stocks in the coastal water of Bangladesh were evaluated using a length-based Bayesian Biomass (LBB) approach. The ratios B/B0 (current relative biomass) smaller than BMSY/B0 five six stocks. For estimated populations, two (Otolithes ruber Pterotolithus maculatus) are grossly overfished, one (Otolithoides pama) is (Johnius belang...

We address several questions of Donald Monk related to irredundance and spread of Boolean algebras, gaining both some ZFC knowledge and consistency results. We show in ZFC that irr(B0 × B1) = max{irr(B0), irr(B1)}. We prove consistency of the statement “there is a Boolean algebra B such that irr(B) < s(B ~ B)” and we force a superatomic Boolean algebra B∗ such that s(B∗) = inc(B∗) = κ, irr(B∗) ...

Background: Pyelonephritis can lead to renal scar. Objective: To evaluate the effects of betamethasone in preventing renal scarring in rat model of pyelonephritis. Methods: Sixty three female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into seven groups. Group A was the control. Mannose-sensitive E coli was directly inoculated into the left kidney exposed under general anesthesia in groups C–G. Group B re...

In order to evaluate the tuber fresh weight and some physiological attributes of Agria potato cultivar in response to water deficit stress and mycorrhiza inoculation, a field trial was conducted as a split plot scheme based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the research site of Islamic Azad University, Tabriz Branch in 2012. Four water levels including: irrigation a...

BACKGROUND: Azospirillum is effective in biostabilization of nitrogen and Pseudomonas is effective in dissolving soil phosphorus. OBJECTIVES: Current study was conducted to assess effect of different level of nitrogen and biofertilizer on seed yield, its components and protein content. METHODS: This research was carried out via spilt plot fac...

Paraquat is an environmental pollutant that associated with some disorders including alteration of harmatological indices and a concern to public health. Vitamin E has antioxidant property other characteristic roles ameliorate toxic effect. 200 male albino rats weighing 0.2±0.02kg on the average were divided into four main groups (A, B, C, D) 50 in one group. The “A” group was not served paraqu...

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are multipurpose entities in case of crop quality and yield improvement. This study evaluated the impact PGPR inoculation root zone nutrient release, rice yield, grain (P, Fe, Mn, Zn) content two popular varieties Bangladesh (viz., BRRI dhan49 Binadhan7). It was a single factor (bacterial treatment) experiment where B0, B1, B2, B3 treatments represent...
