Background: There is growing interest in the use of progesterone receptor modulators such as Mifepristone for treatment of gynecologic and other conditions. The aim of this study was to determine effects of Antiprogesterone (RU486) on the ultrastructure of endometrial in the superovulated mice at Implantation Window.\n Methods: Adult male and female mice were used for induction of pesudopregnancy. The mice were divided into two groups; experimental and control groups. Experimental groups based on hormone injection were subdivided into two groups. 1) AntiProgesterone, 2) Hyperstimulation + Antiprogesterone. Control group obtained without any hyperstimulation. The uterines of all groups were collected after 4.5 day of pregnancy and were prepared for the assessment of the histological changes with LM and TEM. \nResults: The results showed that AntiProgesterone injection decrease the height of microvilli and pinopods in the apical cell in comparison to control group. Antiprogesterone injection increases the inflammatory cells in the lamina propria of endometrium.The histomorphometrical results indicated that endometrial luminal epithelium height in the Hyperstimulated + Antiprogesterone group was a significantly different in comparison to control group (p<0.01) . \nConclusion: These finding demonstrate that the use of Mifepristone is associated with histological changes in the endometium.

Careful and judicious use of nanotechnology, a recently emerging discipline, finding use in all fields including agriculture can promote growth of various crops. Silver nanoparticles (SNPs) have various uses in agriculture and are expected to improve growth and yield of wheat crop. In these experiments silver nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction method using silver nitrate and tri-sodium citrate. X-ray diffraction indicated presence of 10-20 nm sized nanoparticles. Three separate experiments were conducted to explore the effects of SNPs on germination, growth and yield of wheat cultivar NARC-2009. SNP concentrations used were 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 ppm. SNPs were found to have either no effect or decreased germination and germination index. Application of 25 and 50 ppm SNPs significantly increased number of seminal roots. To determine the role of SNPs on growth, one week old wheat seedlings were transferred to nutrient medium with different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 ppm) of SNPs. Leaf area, fresh weight, dry weight, root biomass, relative growth rate and net assimilation rate increased at 25 ppm SNPs as compared to control during first week but decreased during the following weeks. Wheat seedlings were transferred to soil filled pots where SNPs solution of different concentrations equivalent to field capacity were applied except control where distilled water was applied. Number of grains per spike was maximum for 25 ppm followed by 50 ppm concentrations. Maximum 100 grain weight was obtained for 25 and 125 ppm SNPs while grain yield per pot was highest for 25 and 50 ppm SNPs. Comprehensive experimentation is required to establish the most suitable concentration of SNPs for higher growth and maximum yield of wheat.

Micronutrients application significantly affects plant growth, development and bio-chemical process. A field study under subtropical rainfed condition was carried out to test the agronomic efficiency and HCN content of sorghum cultivars (JS-2002, Chakwal sorghum) applied with two levels of Zn (5 and 10 kg ha-1) and B (1 and 2 kg ha-1) micronutrients. Morphological, forage yield components and HCN content were assessed at two growth stages (60 and 75 DAS), while seed yield and concentration of zinc and boron in leaves and seed at soft dough stage. Both micronutrients have significant effects on biophysical and HCN content of both forage sorghum cultivars studied in this experiment. Combined effect of Zn and B @ 10 and 2 kg ha-1 was more pronounced because greater plant height, leaf area, fresh and dry biomass yield and seed yield than the sole application. Sorghum cultivar JS-2002 was found more efficient than Chakwal sorghum regarding morphological and yield traits. HCN content was found to be higher in plants without micronutrient application. Highest agronomic efficiency of seed, forage and dry nutrient ratio of 422, 6.28 and 1.55 were obtained where 2 kg ha-1 boron was applied resulting 35% net benefit when compared to control treatment.

If today\'s organizations are not able to adopt themselves with environmental changes, they will lose the competition. In such a condition, organizations are in need of leaders who are capable of turning their companies into one having more ability to progress and even to survive in those situations. Transformational leaders guide organization from present to the future and apply suitable changes to support the organization\'s objectives. Besides, knowledge management is a crucial factor influential in helping organizations survive and gain success in such competitive environment and Information Age. Also considering the fact that the leaders play the role of a sample for others, their leadership style is directly influential in organization\'s tendency and manner of facing with processes and steps of knowledge management. Therefore, this article intends to find the relationship between transformational leadership and knowledge management in Alvan Sabet Company. \nFor this purpose, having done a revision of the existing literature on the field, we established five main hypotheses and four sub-hypotheses. To test the research hypotheses we have made use of a questionnaire being distributed among the population. The population of this research includes all the experts and masters of Alvan Sabet Co. totally being 47 in number. Regarding limitation in population size we have used census method in this research. We\'ve made use of descriptive statistics technique to analyze demographic variables while to investigate the hypotheses, we have used Pearson Solidarity Test and Spearman. The result show that the correlation between the transformational leadership style and knowledge management has been 0.784 which is considerably high.

In this study, the wind speed characteristics and energy potential in three selected locations in the southeastern\npart of Nigeria were investigated using wind speed data that span between 24 and 37 years and measured at a\nheight of 10 m. It was shown that the annual mean wind speed at a height of 10 m for Enugu, Owerri and Onitsha\nare 5.42, 3.36 and 3.59 m/s, respectively, while the annual mean power densities are 96.98, 23.23 and 28.34 W/m2,\nrespectively. It was further shown that the mean annual value of the most probable wind speed are 5.47, 3.72 and\n3.50 m/s for Enugu, Owerri and Onitsha, respectively, while the respective annual value of the wind speed carrying\nmaximum energy are 6.48, 4.33 and 3.90 m/s. The performance of selected commercial wind turbine models (with\nrated power between 50 and 1,000 kW) designed for electricity generation and a windmill (rated power, 0.36 kW)\nfor water pumping located in these sites was examined. The annual energy output and capacity factor for these\nturbines, as well as the water produced by the windmill, were determined. The minimum required design\nparameters for a wind turbine to be a viable option for electricity generation in each location are also suggested

Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that develops in the prostate gland of male reproductive system. Most prostate cancers are slow growing,but in some aggressive cancers the cancer cells may spread from prostate to other parts of the body like bones and lymp nodes.Increased attention is drawn towards the early detection of cancer cells to decrease the severity of the disease.For the diagnosis and analysis of prostate cancer, invasive and non-invasive methods play a major role in the medical field. Invasive methods like Prostate specific antigen (PSA) and gleason score testing with Trans rectual ultrasound(TRUS) and Digital rectal examination(DRE) are used for early detection of prostate cancer. Imaging techniques like Ultra-sonography(US),Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) , Computed tomography(CT) and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging(FMRI)are non-invasive methods used for the diagnosis of prostate cancer.This paper presents a discussion on causes,symptoms,with classification of its types and basic computer aided non-invasive techniques for the diagnosis and analysis of prostate cancer.

Many environmental problems such as: negative effects on aquatic life, destruction of aquatic ecosystems, soil pollution, reducing the oxygen level in the water absorption through skin contact, brain damages, damage to the Central Nervous System (CNS) and joints, eye damage, toxicity, etc., have been reported related with EG. In this study, ozone as an advanced oxidation method was used for the treatment of EG containing wastewaters. For this purpose, the impact of contact time and pH variations on EG removal by ozonation at two level including low and high concentration (low= 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and high=500, 750, 1000, 1500 mg/L) were examined. An EG removal kinetic analysis was determined based on removal rates via several ozonation times. At concentrations of 10, 20 and 50 mg/L after 180 minutes, removal of EG were achieved 93.31, 89.96, and 85.01 % respectively. Increasing pH has a direct impact on system efficiency and maximum efficiency corresponds to a concentration of 1500 mg/L 20.26 % was observed. Very good correlation coefficients at this kinetic study at all concentrations, investigated that EG removal will follow the first-order kinetics. Increasing and decreasing pH has a dramatic effect on the efficiency of the system, so that the efficiency increases significantly at alkaline pH. According to the results ozone system can be an excellent option for EG containing wastewater treatment.
