PURPOSE This study was designed to determine whether the amount of endochondral growth response to mechanical compression and the underlying growth mechanism differed with night-time or day-time loading, relative to full-time loading. METHODS Mechanical compression (nominally 0.1 MPa stress) was applied across tibial and tail vertebral growth plates of growing Sprague-Dawley rats. Four groups...

St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) cv FX-313 was used as a model laboratory host for monitoring population growth of the sting nematode, Belonolaimus longicaudatus, and for quantifying the effects of sting nematode parasitism on host performance in two samples of autoclaved native Margate fine sand with contrasting amounts of organic matter (OM = 7.9% and 3.8%). Following inoculation ...

This study reports effect of salinity on some growth attributes of two sugarcane cultivars at grand growth stage, in comparison with the control plants. In view of data presented here for different growth attributes, it is clear that responses of two varieties of sugarcane were different at different salinity levels. However, saline growth medium caused an overall reduction in growth in both th...

To date, little is known about the evolution of plastid genomes (plastomes) in Lauraceae. As one of the top five largest families in tropical forests, the Lauraceae contain many species that are important ecologically and economically. Lauraceous species also provide wonderful materials to study the evolutionary trajectory in response to parasitism because they contain both nonparasitic and par...

Cuscuta reflexa is a parasitic plant that has place with the family Convolvulaceae. It regularly known as dodder plant, amarbel, akashabela. Generally, it called marvel plant. rootless, lasting, leafless climbing twining spice takes food from have planted help of an extraordinary organ haustorium. This survey article will gather definitive portrayal compound constituent’s pharmacological employ...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to determine whether the amount of growth response to mechanical compression and the underlying mechanism differed with night-time or day-time loading, relative to full time loading. Mechanical compression (nominally 0.1 MPa stress) was applied across tibial and tail vertebral growth plates of growing Sprague-Dawley rats. Four groups of animals were tested: ...

The aim of the present study was to examine the long-term effects of prenatal injure on body and craniofacial growth in intrauterine growth retarded (IUGR) animals and its correlation with histomorphometric changes of the pituitary somatotrope population. IUGR model was carried out by means of uterine vessels ligation in pregnant rats at 14th day of pregnancy. Control and sham-operated animals ...

in this research, the effects of the addition of powdered activated carbon (pac) into the aeration zone of an activated-sludge (as) system for treating tehran oil refinery effluent, was investigated during more than 12 months in a pact pilot-scale model. besides the evaluation of organics removal efficiency and determination of basic design factors kinetic coefficients, a series of experiments ...
