introduction: in recent dentin adhesive systems etching of enamel/dentin are achieved simultaneously. the objective was to evaluate the microleakage of composite restorations using single bond2 (5th generation), clearfil s3 bond and g bond (7th generation). methods: class v cavities were prepared on  45 extracted intact premolars with gingival margins at the cementoenamel junction and they were...

We sought to characterize WPEC by quantifying per-hour log-fold change. To do so, we regressed the log gene expression on time (hour) and extracted the linear slope. For genes with monotonically increasing or decreasing expression trajectories, the utility of our WPEC measure to discriminate is obvious. Our WPEC measure can also discriminate with more complex trajectories which may be reflectiv...

an experiment was conducted in the experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute in karaj for three consecutive cropping seasons, 2001-2003, to study the effects of eight different fertilizer treatments including some microelements on grain yield and protein content of a bread wheat cultivar pishtaz. the experiment was in a rcbd with three replications.eight fertilizer treatments w...

study design, analysis and interpretation The following table summarizes several key concepts relating to sample preparation and library construction that may influence analysis and interpretation of RNA-seq data. Several initiatives are underway to develop standards and best practices that cover many of these concepts. These include: the Sequencing Quality Control (SEQC) consortium [2], the En...

The challenges of soil degradation and climate change have led to the emergence Conservation Agriculture (CA) as a sustainable alternative tillage-based agriculture systems. Despite recognition positive impacts on health, CA adoption in Africa has remained low. Previous health studies mainly focused ‘scientific’ measurements, without consideration local knowledge, which influences how farmers i...

a field study was conducted at the college of agriculture, shiraz university, shiraz, iran to evaluate the effect of different crop residue and nitrogen rates on yield and yield components of two dryland wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cultivars. the experiment was conducted as a strip split plot with four replications. vertical plots included two dryland current wheat cultivars (azar2 and nicknej...
