A BBRC review of the identification criteria of ‘Dark-breasted Barn Owls’ Tyto alba guttata concluded that only those birds with completely buff underparts were safely identifiable as guttata. Many British claims of guttata show varying amounts of white below, and are thought to originate from the wide intergrade zone between guttata and nominate alba, although variation within alba may also ac...

BACKGROUND Striae distensae (SD) are a common dermatologic problem that plagues many people. Although there are many therapeutic modalities have been used to treat SD, effective method has been disappointing for striae Alba. AIMS To evaluate the clinical and histopathologic efficacy and safety of the 2940-nm erbium yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) ablative fractional laser (AFL) with recombin...

The principal habitats of immature Orthopodomyia alba and Orthopodomyia signifera are tree holes, though they are occasionally encountered in artificial containers. We collected 929 Or. alba and 17 Or. signifera from 2 plastic trash cans, 2 scrap tires, and a tree hole. All collections were made in an urban residential area in central Illinois.

metal pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems resulting from human activity. phytoremediation utilizes plants to uptake contaminants and can potentially be used to remediate metal-contaminated sites. the present study investigates heavy metal uptake (cd, cr, and ni) from soil by different organs of populus alba and morus alba. for this purpose, cd (40, 80, and 160 m...

nutritional indices of the willow leaf beetle, plagiodera versicolora laicharting, third instar larvae and adults were studied on four host plants including salix alba l., salix aegyptica l., populus caspica bornm.and populus alba l.at 22 ± 2 ºc, 70 ± 10% r.h., and a photoperiod of 16:8 h (l: d). the results showed that the highest consumed food by the larvae and adults (148.5 ± 18.0 and 175.21...

The robust representation of the environment from unreliable sensory cues is vital for the efficient function of the brain. However, how the neural processing captures the most reliable cues is unknown. The interaural time difference (ITD) is the primary cue to localize sound in horizontal space. ITD is encoded in the firing rate of neurons that detect interaural phase difference (IPD). Due to ...

background & aim: diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels and disturbances in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. the objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of morus alba leaves in an animal model of diabetes. martial & methods: 30 adult male wistar strain rats (200-250 g) were divided randomly...
