RESPONSE OF SAFFLOWER (CARTHAMUS TINCTORIUS L.) AGRONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS TO TIME, RATE AND METHODS OF NITROGEN APPLICATIONS

Response of Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) Agronomic Characteristics to Time, Rate and Methods of Nitrogen Applications

To investigate the response of safflower agronomic characteristics to time, rate and method of nitrogen applications, an experiment was carried out at the research Field of Payaam Nour Arak University in Markazi province during 2011.A factorial arrangement of treatment in a randomized complete block design with three replications here was used.Time

Are the Effects of Oral and Vaginal Contraceptives on Bone Formation in Young Women Mediated via the Growth Hormone-IGF-I Axis?

Purpose: Combined hormonal contraceptive therapy has been associated with negative bone mineral density outcomes that may be route-dependent [i.e., combined oral contraception (COC) vs.contraceptive vaginal ring (CVR)] and involve the hepatic growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) axis.The objective of the pilot study was to asses

Identification of neural crest and glial enhancers at the mouse Sox10 locus through transgenesis in zebrafish.

Sox10 is a dynamically regulated transcription factor gene that is essential for the development of neural crest-derived and oligodendroglial populations.Developmental genes often require multiple regulatory sequences that integrate discrete and overlapping functions to coordinate their expression.To identify Sox10 cis-regulatory elements, we integ

Simplified reliable prediction method for determining the volume change of expansive soils based on simply physical tests

Expansive soils widely exist at different locations in nearly all new construction sites in Egypt.This type of soil exhibits significant change in volume when subjected to water, leading to distortions in the structures and therefore huge monetary losses due to repair and guerlain ideal cologne in some cases to full removal of the structures.An oed
