Self-control is an important psychological trait that drug addicts need to have break free from addiction. However, many studies reported self-control among are still low, indicating problems in a drug-free life.

BACKGROUND This study evaluated hope, depression, anxiety, and stress among three groups of infertile couples. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study consisted of three groups of infertile couples-candidates for oocyte donation (n=60), embryo donation (n=60), and normal infertile (n=60). Participants included couples seen at Royan Institute, Tehran, Iran between 2013-2014 who were a...

It is the intent of this article to describe, compare and contrast the usual form of the trait for polydactylism in cats especially in Maine Coon Cats. The usual form of polydactyly will be defined as the trait commonly seem in Maine Coon Cat especially those familiar to organizations such as Mcpolys (http://www.mcpolys.com) This discussion will show that the usual gene for polydactylism is har...

Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are being used to generate whole genome sequences for a wide range of crop species. When combined with precise phenotyping methods, these technologies provide a powerful and rapid tool for identifying the genetic basis of agriculturally important traits and for predicting the breeding value of individuals in a plant breeding population. Here we summ...

Plant breeding, the science of crop production, has traditionally developed new cultivars through selective breeding in the spirit of Gregor Mendel (1965) and his peas. Plant breeders hybridize plants that have been selected for some desired trait. By hybridizing desirable plants, desirable alleles—and combinations of alleles—are concentrated, thereby improving the fitness of the offspring. Pla...
