Nutrient requirements of heavy pig

Nutrient requirements of premature infants.

Exact knowledge of the nutrient requirements of premature infants is critically important for the prevention of postnatal growth failure and for improved neurodevelopmental outcome. Methods whereby nutrient requirements can be estimated fall into two categories, factorial methods and empirical methods. Each have their advantages and disadvantages. The factorial methods provide estimates of requ...

Nutrient Requirements of Solanaceous Vegetable Crops

The solanaceous group of vegetables (tomato, eggplant, chili and bell peppers) generally take up large amounts of nutrients. The amount of nutrients they take up depends on the quantity of fruit and dry matter they produce, which in turn is influenced by a number of genetic and environmental variables. For tomato to produce 1 mt of fresh fruit, plants need to absorb, on average, 2.5 to 3 kg N, ...

The Mineral Nutrient Requirements of Forest Trees

Nutrient requirements for preterm infant formulas.

Achieving appropriate growth and nutrient accretion of preterm and low birth weight (LBW) infants is often difficult during hospitalization because of metabolic and gastrointestinal immaturity and other complicating medical conditions. Advances in the care of preterm-LBW infants, including improved nutrition, have reduced mortality rates for these infants from 9.6 to 6.2% from 1983 to 1997. The...

Requirements on Component Technologies for Heavy Vehicles1

Software component technologies have not yet been generally accepted by embedded-systems industries. In order to better understand why this is the case, we present a set of requirements, based on industrial needs, that are deemed decisive for introducing a component technology. The requirements we present can be used to evaluate existing component technologies before introducing them in an indu...
