Grain yield and micronutrient concentrations of maize parental lines of new hybrid genotypes affected by the foliar application of micronutrients.

Unlabelled: It is important for the breeders to find how genetic differences may affect crop grain yield and nutrient uptake affected by micronutrient fertilization. Accordingly, with respect to our published research, the foliar application of the most deficient micronutrients (Fe, Zn and Mn) in the arid and semi-arid areas of the world affecting grain yield and nutrient concentration of maize parental lines of new hybrid genotypes was tested in a two-year experiment (2016-2017). A split plot experiment (randomized complete block design) with seven maize parental lines (G1-G7, sub-plots), and eight micronutrients treatments (main plots) including control (without spraying, M1), Zn (M2), Mn (M3), and Fe (M4) at 3 g L, Mn + Zn (M5), Fe + Zn (M6), Fe + Mn (M7), and Fe + Mn + Zn (M8) at 1.

Neuroscience-Informed Psychoeducation for Recovery: A Program to Promote Metacognition in People With Substance Use Disorders.

Introduction: A brief neuroscience-informed psychoeducation program (Neuroscience-Informed Psychoeducation for Recovery [NIPER]) was developed to promote awareness (metacognition) in the main cognitive domains affected by drug and alcohol use to increase willingness to invest time and effort in the brain and cognition recovery process. The primary aim of this pilot study was to determine the feasibility and acceptability of the NIPER program and its potential effectiveness in increasing metacognition, psychological wellbeing, and willingness for the brain and cognition recovery programs among patients with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs).

Methods: A total of 56 patients with SUDs were recruited from four outpatient treatment centers in Tehran City, Iran.
