in order to locate the qtls involved in the inheritance of agronomical, physiological and metabolitical indicators of drought tolerance in barley, an experiment was carried out using a wheat-barley disomic addition lines. this research was conducted in 2003-2004 at the dry land agricultural research institute, sararood, kermanshah, iran. the results of analysis of variance revealed highly signi...

We characterized the bacterial populations in surface water receiving effluent from an oxytetracycline (OTC) production plant. Additional sampling sites included the receiving river water 5 km upstream and 20 km downstream from the discharge point. High levels of OTC were found in the wastewater (WW), and the antibiotic was still detectable in river water downstream (RWD), with undetectable lev...

BACKGROUND Reimbursement decisions are conventionally based on evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs), which often have high internal validity but low external validity. Real-world data (RWD) may provide complimentary evidence for relative effectiveness assessments (REAs) and cost-effectiveness assessments (CEAs). This study examines whether RWD is incorporated in health technology a...

water deficit is an important factor limiting crop production worldwide. drought stress can be managed by improving the availability of soil moisture conserved and selecting drought tolerant genotypes. several physiological indices including stomatal conductance (kl), relative water content (rwc), leaf temperature (tl) and crop temperature stability (cts) along with yield, its components and se...

BACKGROUND Randomized controlled trials provide robust data on the efficacy of interventions rather than on effectiveness. Health technology assessment (HTA) agencies worldwide are thus exploring whether real-world data (RWD) may provide alternative sources of data on effectiveness of interventions. Presently, an overview of HTA agencies' policies for RWD use in relative effectiveness assessmen...

We developed an empirical relative wind direction (RWD) model function to represent azimuthal variations of oceanic microwave brightness temperatures of vertical and horizontal polarizations. The RWD model function was based on brightness temperature measurements from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer and Special Sensor Microwave Imager Sounder (SSMIS). Ocean surface wind vector data f...

In order to evaluate the tuber fresh weight and some physiological attributes of Agria potato cultivar in response to water deficit stress and mycorrhiza inoculation, a field trial was conducted as a split plot scheme based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the research site of Islamic Azad University, Tabriz Branch in 2012. Four water levels including: irrigation a...

effects of seed priming by salicylic acid on some morpho-physiologic characteristics and yield of cowpea (vigna unguiculata l.) cultivar “parastou” was investigated under water deficit. experiment was conducted as a split block design with 3 replications in 2008-2009 at research farm of zanjan university. factors were including drought stress as a main factor in 2 levels (irrigation, water defi...
