the functional role of the exon 3 growth hormone receptor ( d3 ghr) polymorphism in human and its distributions in different populations is not clearly understood. the presence of full length growth hormone ( fl ghr) is the most  important in metabolic risk factors. the aim of this study was to define the frequency distribution of d3 ghr/full-length ghr in an iranian population. the presence of...

the ultrasonic measurement of the fetal femur length is a sensitive and precise variable for estimation of fetal growth and development. tlte objective of this study was to predict gestational age in fetuses older ttian twenty-four weeks of gestation by ultrasonic measurement of the femur length. in this study, pregnant mothers were identified by the criteria of normality, such as well-known lm...

Population parameters were estimated for goatfish (Upeneus sulphureus, Cuvier, 1829) as a small size and abundant species in the Persian Gulf ecosystem. A method of Tropfish R package based on length frequencies analysis was used. A total of 520 fish samples were taken monthly from landing stations in the coastal area of Iranian Waters in the Persian Gulf (Bushehr coasts) from January 2017 to D...

Ensuring food security with limited water resources in arid countries requires urgent development of innovative water-saving strategies. This study aimed to investigate the effects various tillage and mulching practices on soil storage (SWS), growth, production, irrigation use efficiency (IWUE), productivity (WP) wheat under full (FL) (LM) regimes a typical country. The comprised conventional (...

Thingvallavatn, the largest and one of the oldest lakes in Iceland, contains four morphs of Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus. Dwarf benthic (DB), large benthic (LB), planktivorous (PL) and piscivorous (PI) morphs can be distinguished and differ markedly in head morphology, colouration and maximum fork length (FL(max)), reflecting their different resource specialisations within the lake. The four...

background and aim: it has been several decades since the technology of frequency lowering (fl) has been proposed. however, primary research has revealed no benefits regarding the use of this technique. currently, new methods for fl and improvement of perception of speech and fricative sounds have led to the application of these methods by numerous companies to produce hearing aids. in this stu...

The yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) is a widely distributed, migratory species that supports valuable commercial fisheries throughout their range. Management of requires knowledge movement, mixing and key life history parameters such as growth rate, natural mortality. Current management based on the assumptions highly populations are well mixed, but these have been questioned by recent studi...

Twelve ileal cannulated pigs (30.9 ± 2.7 kg) were used to determine the apparent (AID) and standardized (SID) ileal digestibility of protein and AA in canola meals (CM) derived from black(BNB) and yellow-seeded (BNY) Brassica napus canola and yellow-seeded Brassica juncea (BJY). The meals were produced using either the conventional pre-press solvent extraction process (regular meal) or a new, v...

Abstract The scalloped hammerhead shark is an endangered species that listed in CITES Appendix II. Information on the biological aspects, exploitation rate, and spawning potential ratio of sharks are very limited, especially Lampung Bay waters. These data were important to find solutions best management sustain Indonesia, aim this study investigate rates, ratios water. Scalloped samples collect...
