This is the first high temporal-resolution study in Disko Bay covering population dynamics, grazing, reproduction, and biochemical composition of 3 dominating copepod species (Calanus finmarchicus, C. glacialis and C. hyperboreus) from late winter to midsummer in 2008. C. finmarchicus and C. glacialis ascended to the surface layer at the onset of the spring phytoplankton bloom, followed by C. h...

Assessing a plant’s nutritional status and fertilizer rates types that can optimize fruit quality yield are critical in intensive apple orchards. The aim of this work was to identify correlations between nutrients the different organs allow early diagnosis assess impact on optimal nutrient content leaves, as well chemical organic fertilization. Five orchards ‘Gala’ were fertilized with levels N...

Calafate (Berberis microphylla G. Forst) is an evergreen shrub with blue berries that grows naturally in Patagonia, South America. It has beneficial nutraceutical characteristics for human health. The objective of the research was to evaluate effect different harvest dates calafate clones south-central zone Chile on polyphenolic content, antioxidant capacity, quality parameters and fruit yield....

the present research designed to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methyl jasmonate (meja), salicylic acid (sa) and potassium sulfate on improving fruit quality and photosynthesis system. ten treatments include: sa (0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 mm), meja (0.5, 1 and 2 mm), potassium sulfate (0.5, 1 and 1.5%) and distilled water (control) were sprayed on pomegranate trees 2 and 7 weeks after ful...

Ripening of ;Tydeman's Early' apples (Malus sylvestris L.) assessed by the occurrence of the respiratory climacteric was delayed by succinic acid 2,2-dimethyl hydrazide (B-9) but not by 2-chloroethyltrimethylammonium chloride (CCC), each applied 14 days after bloom. B-9 also inhibited ethylene production by fruits exhibiting the climacteric rise. Inhibition of the climacteric by B-9 was overcom...

Chrysanthemum sp. is a floricultural plant of the Asteraceae family with high economic value. The anthocyanin pigment in red chrysanthemum acts as an antioxidant, content which can be influenced by genetic factors such physiological age flower. This study aimed to determine effect flower on and antioxidant activity plants. used was 115 Days After Planting (DAP) (early bloom stage), 120 DAP (hal...

  A male neonate from a 23 year-old mother by cesarean section without complication in labor or delivery had vomiting from birth for 9 days and lost 400 grams of body weight. He had severe dehydration upon admission to our hospital.
