background and objectives: the development of high yielding cultivars with wide adaptability is the ultimate aim of plant breeders. however, attaining this goal is made more complicated by genotype-environment interactions. the genotype by environment interaction is a major problem in the study of quantitative traits because it complicates the interpretation of genetic experiments and makes pre...

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of extract of Ammi visnaga on volume and acidity of stimulated gastric secretion in rabbits and also its safety on liver and kidney function. STUDY DESIGN Quasi experimental study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Pharmacology Department, Saidu Medical College, Swat, in the years 2008-9. METHODOLOGY Thirty rabbits weighing 1 - 1.5 kg were divided into groups...

In this paper, we study the asymptotic normality of the conditional maximum likelihood (ML) estimators for the truncated regression model and the Tobit model. We show that under the general setting assumed in his book, the conjectures made by Hayashi (2000) 1 about the asymptotic normality of the conditional ML estimators for both models are true, namely, a sufficient condition is the nonsingul...

Bosonic quantum field theories, even when regularized using a finite lattice, possess an infinite dimensional Hilbert space and, therefore, cannot be simulated in computers with number of qubits. A truncation the is then needed and physical results are obtained after double limit: one to remove another regulator (the continuum limit). simpler alternative find model belonging same universality c...

introduction: long term complications of hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection include fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma and although the disease is treatable with the newly introduced direct acting antivirals, but factors such as drug resistance, viral genotype and adverse effects can limit the effectiveness of therapy. therefore, development of effective, safe and affordable proph...

Oxidation of biomolecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids results in generation of free radicals in an organism which is the major cause of onset of various degenerative diseases. Antioxidants scavenge these free radicals, thereby protecting the cell from damage. The present study was designed to examine the free radical scavenging potential and oxidative DNA damage p...
