We report the hemodynamic parameters of stage 18, 21, 24, and 27 chick embryos (from 3 to 5 days of incubation). Dorsal aortic blood velocity and mean vitelline artery blood pressure are measured with a 20 MHz pulsed-Doppler meter and servo-null pressure system respectively. We also measure heart rate, dorsal aortic diameter and embryo weight of each developmental stage. From these data, we cal...

fecundity is one of the important indicators of reproduction biology in fishes especially in rearing and restocking management of endangered species such as sturgeon. the fecundity of stellate sturgeon (acipenser stellatus pallas, 1771) was studied in 50 specimens captured by gill net (mesh size= 100 mm) and seine net in different fishing areas along the southeastern part of the caspian sea fro...

studies on crop improvement of saffron (crocus sativus l.) can play an important role in development of this native crop. in this context, an experiment was conducted at agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, as a factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications, during 2005-2010 years. first studied factor was planting pattern of saffron...

Summary Rationale. Recent data suggest that the nutritional status assessed by body mass index (BMI) is positively associated with skin reactivity to histamine in children. Objective. To study the relation between BMI and skin reactivity to histamine and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus in allergic children and adolescents. Methods.

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate our clinical experience using an Amplatzer septal occluder for catheter closure of a secundum atrial septal defect under transthoracic echocardiography guidance without general anaesthesia. METHODS Patients eligible for transcatheter atrial septal defect closure were selected using transthoracic echocardiography. The largest defect diameter meas...

in order to investigate the effect of different levels of biological fertilizers on potato performance (cv. marfona), an experiment was carried out as strip plot based on rcb design with 3 replications in 2011 at isfahan. treatments included nitrocara at 4 levels (0: control, 220, 330 and 440 ml.ha-1) as a first factor and nitroxin+ phosphate at 4 levels (0+0: control, 20+100, 30+150 and 50+200...

soil organic carbon has been the most important soil quality measurement factors and has intense relation with soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics. organic matter and its components are important factors of soil aggregates constitution and stability and play significant role in its structure.so, this research has been done for achieving this purpose. this area is arounding sa...
