Frailty is increasingly relevant for clinicians to improve care for vulnerable older adults. Prominent frailty measures include the frailty phenotype and the frailty index. The frailty phenotype is grounded in a theoretical construct hypothesized to have an underlying biological basis. The frailty index describes frailty as a nonspecific age-associated vulnerability, reflected in an accumulatio...

in order to determine the appropriate plant density in different planting dates for sweet corn cultivar ksc403su, an experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design in split plot lay out with three replications at seed and plant improvement institute in karaj in 2006. three planting dates (22 may, 5 june and 22 june) were assigned as main plots and three plant densities (65000...

in order to study the impact of replacement and additive intercropping series on yield and yield components of bean and ajowan as a medicinal plant, an experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, shirvan college of agriculture and natural resources during growing season of 2012-2013. nine replacement and addi...

To evaluate worker's exposure to mixed solvents, equations for the calculation of the biological hazard index, which is defined as biological levels tolerable for exposure to mixture, were developed. When biological levels of exposure indicators were not affected by coexposure, rules similar to those for airborne monitoring could be applied. Namely, when the components had additive effects, the...

to determine the effect of n-fertilizer on nitrogen harvest index (nhi), crop production and growth indices of corn (s.c.704 cultivar), an experiment was conducted with five nitrogen rates (100, 140, 180, 220 and 260 kg n/ha) in a randomly complete block design in four replicates. the effect of n-fertilizer rates on variation of grain yield, number of kernels, 1000-kernel weight, nitrogen harve...

In order to study seed yield and seed yield components in bean under reduced irrigation condition and assessment drought tolerance of genotypes, 15 lines of White beans were evaluated in two separate RCB design with 3 replications under stress and non stress conditions. Analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences among varieties in terms of traits under study, indicating...

in order to investigate the indices of drought tolerance, correlation coefficient and path analysis at deficit irrigation and nitrogen experiment, this experiment was conducted as split plot arranged in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications during 2000-2003 for wheat at maragheh agricultural research station of dari. the treatments were included four levels of defici...
