Physiologic changes during growth and development.

چکیده

To express growth-related changes in physiologic or other functions in forms usable for kinetic modeling, we are interested in identifying regular relationships that take the form of simple mathematical expressions. Many anatomic and physiologic functions scale within or across species in accordance with the allometric relationship, y = axb. These include many organ weights, the glomerular filtration rate, respiration rate, oxygen consumption, or basal metabolic rate. The allometric lines may display discontinuities in slope associated with critical growth periods such as transitions from one growth phase to another. On the other hand, many other kinetically important processes depend on the physiocochemical characteristics of the agent and of the sites in the body with which it interacts. Their rates of development are determined by the age-dependence of these physiocochemical characteristics and of their interactions. Examples of different types of age-dependence are given, and their combined impact on the age-dependence of lead-kinetic behavior is examined.

Effect of Magnetic Field on Growth and Development Parameters of Rudbeckia hirta L. Seed in Dry and Humid Conditions

The magnetic field (MF) is considered as a biophysical treatment to change the growth and development parameters. Current research was carried out to evaluate the effect of different intensities of MF (0, 45, 60, 70 and 75 mT) on seed germination and some morphologic and physiologic parameters of Rudbeckia hirta L. in dry and humid conditions for 30 min. Results showed that the MF trea...

Assessment of Employment Status in Fourth and Fifth Economic, Social and Cultural Development Plans

Achieving a low unemployment rate has been the goal of all six post-revolutionary development programs as well as other major macro programs. However, the Iranian economy has experienced an average unemployment rate of 10 to 15 percent in recent decades, with no declining trend, so searching about the created employment is essential for proper future policy making. The present study analyzes th...

Investigation into total phenolics and their spectrum in the buds and corms of saffron Crocus and a study of polyphenol oxidase changes in the apical bud during different stages of growth and development showed that changes in the growth and development of the apical bud may be related to changes in the composition of phenolics in the corm. A sudden intense change in content and kind of ph...
