Purpose To examine outer retinal band changes after flash stimulus and subsequent dark adaptation with ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR-OCT). Methods Five dark-adapted left eyes of five normal subjects were imaged with 3-μm axial-resolution UHR-OCT during 30 minutes of dark adaptation following 96%, 54%, 23%, and 0% full-field and 54% half-field rhodopsin bleach. We iden...

The only attempt at the isolation of carotene from mango fruit seems to have been made by Yamamoto Osima & Goma (1932) who obtained 60 mg. of a crystalline preparation from 38 kg., of fresh fruit pulp. From a study of its optical activity and absorption spectrum they concluded that it was a mixture of aand P-carotenes, which were, however, not separated. The inconclusive nature of their data ha...

mechanical properties of non-split pistachio nuts are among the lada required for the design of equipment needed for processing of the nut. unsplit pistachio nut samples were uniaxially loaded to determine the nut’s needed splitting force and energy, as well as poisson’s ratio and young’s modulus of elasticity. the tests were carried out at four moisture contents (5, 10, 15 and 20% wb), under f...

In order to evaluate the inter-specific hybrid of P. atlantica × P. vera cv. ‘Badami Zarand’ to salinity stress, an experiment was conducted as a factorial based in a completely randomized design with 0, 60, 120 mM salinity levels of NaCl2, CaCl2 and MgCl2 (3:2:1) on two rootstocks ‘Qhazvini’ and ‘Badami Zarand’ and an inter- specific hybrid of P. atlantica × P. vera cv. ‘Badami Zarand’. Minera...

The retinoblastoma protein-interacting zinc finger gene RIZ maps to the distal short arm of human chromosome 1 (1p36), a region thought to harbor tumor suppressor genes for a variety of human cancers including breast cancer. The RIZ gene normally produces two protein products of different length, RIZ1 and RIZ2. RIZ2 is generated by an internal promoter and lacks an NH2-terminal motif of RIZ1, t...

in order to investigate the effect of mn and salinity on some physiological and echophysiological characteristics of pistachio seedlings (cv. badami-e-zarand) in sand culture (perlite medium), a factorial greenhouse experiment was carried out in the framework of a completely randomized design comprised of two factors namely: salinity (zero, 75, 150, 225 and 300 mm nacl) and mn (zero, 12, 24 and...
