A study was conducted over 2 years to determine whether growth under elevated CO(2) (700 μmol mol(-1) ) and temperature (ambient + 4 °C) conditions modifies photochemical efficiency or only the use of electron transport products in spring wheat grown in field chambers. Elevated atmospheric CO(2) concentrations increased crop dry matter at maturity by 12-17%, while above-ambient temperatures d...

OBJECTIVE To examine 10-year results of canal wall down mastoidectomy (CWDM) for acquired cholesteatoma. METHODS Medical records of 136 patients with cholesteatoma who has undergone CWDM in a university hospital and who had a follow-up of at least 10 years were checked. RESULTS During follow-up, 21% of patients had undergone one revision operation and 3% two revisions. The recurrence rate o...

OBJECTIVE A previous pilot series described a hybrid mastoidectomy technique, canal wall window (CWW), which substituted for the canal wall down (CWD) procedure and involved slitting the posterior canal wall. The current, larger series compares the results of the CWW procedure with conventional surgical techniques. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis of 78 pediatric ears. SETTING Academic t...

Thirty-six multiparous dairy cows (8 fitted with ruminal cannulas) and 16 primiparous dairy cows were blocked by days in milk and parity and assigned to one of four diets containing 53% alfalfa silage [dry matter (DM) basis] plus 1) high moisture ear corn, 2) high moisture ear corn plus expeller soybean meal, 3) ground high moisture ear corn, or 4) ground high moisture ear corn plus expeller so...

We have read with great interest the article by Yoo, et al. [1] which presents very important clinical observations. We would like to comment on this article based on our experiences and the literature review. Surgery for only hearing ear has been avoided since many years as is known. Many authors have not suggested tympanoplasty surgery in an only hearing ear [2]. However, today we have opport...

This article was investigated to study the correlation and analysis of drought stress regression on maize cultivars' yield components. The variance results showed a significant difference between levels in terms plant height, total dry weight number seeds per row, cob, grain yield, harvest index, stem diameter, cob with protective leave. Also, there ear without leaves, length, weight, 100-seed ...

A field investigation was conducted in Kharif (2022), at a Crop Research Farm, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P). To study the “ Influence foliar application zinc on growth yield pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) varieties.” An experiment laid out Randomized Block Design with ten treatments each replicated thrice. The consist three different...
