to evaluate the genetic diversity of native populations of crown imperial (fritillaria imperialis l.) in zagross region, issr molecular along with 32 morphological traits were employed. a number of 160 samples corresponding to eight zagross populations distributed in six provinces were collected and assessed. using six primers, 57 bands were totally produced from which 49 were polymorphic. mean...

In the print version of this story (issue dated 8 October; BMJ 2016;354:i5316, doi:10.1136/bmj.i5316) we used a photograph of a communal student area which we captioned as being Imperial College London. We have been informed by Imperial College that this is not a part of its campus and apologise for the error. We also did not want to suggest that the “banter” among students and staff referred t...

Background: It was found that, climatic conditions and fruit ripeness are important factor for the occurrence and intensity of superficial scald. 1-MCP is an inhibitor of ethylene action in plants and inhibits many ripening related processes along with the production of ethylene and volatiles. Objective: Apples are often held for several months at low temperature either in air (RA) or in con...

The final hot strip profile is a superposition of the roll initial crown, the roll bending and flattening crown, the roll wearing crown and the roll thermal crown. In this research, linear regression models are proposed to predict the roll force, the roll wearing crown and the roll thermal crown using experimental data provided by Mobarake Steel Complex (MSC). The short beam theory based on ela...
