Effects of MCI-176, 2-(2,5-dimethoxyphenylmethyl)-3-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-6-isopropox y-4 (3H)-quinazolinone hydrochloride, on coronary and aortic blood flows, mean blood pressure and heart rate were investigated in comparison with those of diltiazem in anesthetized dogs. MCI-176, like diltiazem, dose-dependently increased coronary and aortic blood flows and decreased mean blood pressure. In p...

Abstract To find out how maize and potato can grow and develop in an intercropping system rather than each grown alone in a sole cropping system the following factorial experiment was performend in the frame-work of a randomized complete block three replications in the experimental farm of the faculty of agriculture, Zanjan University in year 2004. Different potato to maize ratios of (1:0), i...

to compare the quantity and quality of forge production in intercropping systems with maize, pinto bean and pumpkin, an experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at faculty of agricultural science, university of guilan, during 2012 growing season. the treatments consisted of maize, pinto bean and naked pumpkin sole cropping, maize – pinto bean an...

Phagocytosis has long been recognized as one of the differentiated functions of the macrophage and yet many of the cellular and biochemical mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. Rabinovitch has separated the process of phagocytosis into two phases: attachment and ingestion (1). The former is dependent both on the surface properties of the cell and on the particle and is independent...

The inaccurate placement of minority students in special education programs can take various forms including overrepresentation, underrepresentation, and misidentification. First, overrepresentation occurs when the percentage of minority students in special education programs is greater than that in the school population as a whole. Second, underrepresentation occurs when students with disabili...

The main objective of this work was anaerobic digestion of maize grains and maize silage and biogas production from these crops. Maize grains were treated using one-stage and two-stage anaerobic techniques; using hydrolysis and acidification as the first stage and methanogenesis as the second stage. Processing nonacidified maize grains in an anaerobic reactor is more stable, though the anaerobi...

The main feature of this new approach to platelet freezing is a controlled rate of addition and postthaw removal of 5#{176}/odimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). When DMSO was removed from fresh nonfrozen platelet concentrates before transfusion, no adverse effect on posttransfusion survival was observed. The 51Cr recovery of autologous fresh platelet concentrates in vivo was 65#{176}/o ± 5#{176}/o, while...

This scientific opinion reports on an evaluation of a risk assessment for placing on the market the genetically modified insect resistant and herbicide tolerant maize Bt11xGA21 for food and feed uses, import and processing. Conventional breeding methods were used in the production of maize Bt11xGA21 from inbred lines of the respective parental events. The structural integrity of the inserts in ...

Maize streak virus (MSV) contributes significantly to the problem of extremely low African maize yields. Whilst a diverse range of MSV and MSV-like viruses are endemic in sub-Saharan Africa and neighbouring islands, only a single group of maize-adapted variants - MSV subtypes A(1)-A(6) - causes severe enough disease in maize to influence yields substantially. In order to assist in designing eff...

The United States is the largest producer of maize in the world. Maize-soybean is the most prominent crop rotation in the Midwestern United States. Glyphosate-resistant volunteer maize is a problem weed not only in soybean, but also in continuous maize or sugarbeet rotations. Storm damage, harvesting problems, poor stalk quality, and insect damage, among other factors, can lead to kernel and ea...
