Genetic diversity as an important marker of the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems is considered a unique and powerful tool to evaluate biological communities. In order to evaluate the genetic diversity among golden mullet species (Liza aurata) in the southeast and southwest coasts of the Caspian Sea by D-Loop gene sequencing, a total of 23 fin specimens of golden mullet were collected fro...

monozygotic twins are genetically identical individuals who can also be mirror image twins and the differences between them result from environmental factors. current study, monozygotic twins were analyzed in different dentitions of primary, mixed and permanent. as a conclusion, although genetic factors are naturally potent, environmental factors’ role can be increased and weaken the genetic fa...

Starting with a novel definition of divided differences, this essay derives and discusses the basic properties of, and facts about, (univariate) divided differences. “It belongs to the most beautiful I have been able to do.”[Newton 1676]

ONE electrophoresis affords a simple, rapid technique for comparing and characterizing proteins. It is especially suitable for investigations of genetically altered proteins, and notable results have come from the use of this method in studying hemoglobins (INGRAM 1961 ) and haptoglobins ( CONNELL, DIXON and SMITHIES 1962). Drosophila melanogaster is extraordinary in terms of the extensive arra...

resource sustainability requires a thorough understanding of the influence of forest management programs on the conservation of genetic diversity in tree populations. to observe how differences in forest management affect the genetic structure of fagus orientalis lipsky (oriental beech), we evaluated thirteen beech sites across hyrcanian forests, based on six microsatellite loci. significant di...

The declining dissent among Catholic clergy since the 1970s has consistently been attributed to cohort replacement, indicated by age differences, as a result of changes in Catholic religious culture, despite a recognition in recent sociology of religion of the importance of institutional agency. I test (1) whether changes in priest’s beliefs and values are due to cultural trends (indicated by b...
