Factors Affecting Filamentous Growth of Sphaerotilus natanst

GAUDY, ELIZABETH (University of Illinois, Urbana), AND R. S. WOLFE. Factors affecting filamentous growth of Sphaerotilus natans. Appi. Microbiol. 9:580-584. 1961. Filamentous growth in cultures of Sphaerotilus natans can be measured and compared with total growth by a standardized procedure of winding filaments around an inoculating needle. Filaments and residual growth are then separately wash...

Factors affecting bone growth.

Bone growth and development are products of the complex interactions of genetic and environmental factors. Longitudinal bone growth depends on the growth plate. The growth plate has 5 different zones-each with a different functional role-and is the final target organ for longitudinal growth. Bone length is affected by several systemic, local, and mechanical factors. All these regulation systems...

Factors affecting growth of FEV1.

There is an increasing awareness that also growth in FEV1 may be of importance to development of chronic obstructive lung disease in later life. This paper reviews current knowledge on factors in foetal and childhood life that may reduce lung growth. Passive smoking as well as malnutrition in foetal life is related to impaired lung function in later life. Birth weight is a risk factor to lung g...

Investigating Factors Affecting Urban Growth of Large Cities in Iran

The present paper focuses on determining the most important factors affecting urban growth in large cities of Iran through modeling and comparing the common and diverse points of urban growth obtained from other studies. For this purpose, by reviewing the theoretical concepts associated with urban growth, quantities and measurable variables are developed as proper frameworks to study the influe...
