This study examined the validity of commonly used regression equations for the Actigraph and Actical accelerometers in predicting energy expenditure (EE) in children and adolescents. Sixty healthy (8-16 yrs) participants completed four treadmill (TM) and five self-paced activities of daily living (ADL). Four Actigraph (AG) and three Actical (AC) regression equations were used to estimate EE. Bi...

This study was carried out to determine the anastomosis groups and disease severity of Rhizoctonia solani, which causes root collar rot in chickpea production areas Konya. A total eleven isolates spp. were obtained isolations made from plants surveys. examined microscopically grouped as multinucleate, binucleate according number nuclei. Ten multinucleate identified R. while one isolate sp. In p...

The possibility of alloying can not be avoided at the interface between molten brazing filler metal and base metal in brazing, so the wettability of brazing filler metal can not be easily explained theoretically. We used the original apparatus for wettability test and investigated the relation between the wettability of brazing filler metals of Ag-P-Cu and Ag-Cu-Zn-Cd systems on copper and the ...

Objective(s): To evaluate the biosynthesis of Ag NPs using plant extract of Melissa officinalis (at the eight leaf stage) grown under in vitro (controlled) condition for the first time.Materials and Methods: Biosynthesis of Ag NPs using plant extract was carried out and formation of Ag NPs confirmed by UV-Visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope...

genus polymyxa, belongs to plasmodiophoromycota phyllum and protozoa kingdom. this fungus is a obligate endoparasite in the root cells of vascular plants. since the two species of this genus, p. graminis and p. betae are both known to carry destructive viral agents to sugar beet and poaceae. for studying the distribution of infected fields with p. betae in razavi and northern khorasan provinces...
