to determine the correlation between important traits with yield in barley through path analysis for selecting high yielding lines, three new lines of barley resistant to cold (c-81-13, c-81-11, c-81 -15), compared with valfajr (as control) were studied. this experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications, during 2008 to 2010 in boyer ahmad city.a number ...

in this study 404 pregnant women in islamshahr, a district southwest of tehran, were examined for giardiasis. results showed 7.92% of them to be positive. abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea were observed as the most common symptoms in infected mothers. results also indicated that hematological parameters and weight gain of infected pregnant women did not differ significantly from those without...

BACKGROUND Osteointegration of press-fit radial head implants is achieved by limiting micromotion between the stem and bone. Aspects of stem design that contribute to the enhancement of initial stability (ie, stem diameter and surface coating) have been investigated. The importance of total prosthesis length and level of the neck cut has not been examined. METHODS Cadaveric radii were implant...

Arabic is a Semitic language spoken by millions of people in 20 different countries. However, not much work has been done in the field of online dictionaries or lexical resources. WordNet is an example of a lexical resource that has not been yet developed to its full extent for Arabic. WordNet, a lexical database developed by Professor George Miller and his team at Princeton University, has see...

The Active Wavelet Network (AWN) [9] approach was recently proposed for automatic face alignment, showing advantages over Active Appearance Models (AAM), such as more robustness against partial occlusions and illumination changes. In this paper, we (1) extend the AWN method to a view-based approach, (2) verify the robustness of our algorithm with respect to unseen views in a large dataset and (...

The 1,000 soldiers in this study were consecutive, non-selected cases who were sent to the roentgen (X-ray) department because of a low back complaint. By using their meticulous methodology of measurement, these authors conclude it is possible to accurately measure differences in lower extremity lengths as manifested by a difference in the heights of the femoral heads. The greatest difference i...

Awns, important domestication and agronomic traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.), are conferred by polygenes and the environment. Near isogenic line (NIL) pairs BM33 and BM38 were constructed from crosses between awnless japonica cv Nipponbare as recurrent parent, and lines SLG or Funingxiaohongmang (awned japonica accessions), respectively, as donors. In order to study the genetic and molecular me...

An ad hoc wireless network (AWN) is a collection of mobile hosts forming a temporary network on the fly, without using any fixed infrastructure. Characteristics of AWNs such as lack of central coordination, mobility of hosts, dynamically varying network topology, and limited availability of resources make QoS provisioning very challenging in such networks. In this paper, we describe the issues ...
