To evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilizer amounts on grain yield of forage corn in 2012, a pilot was implemented in Islamic Azad University Agricultural Research Station, Isfahan, as a split plot in a randomized complete block design. Main plots consisted of four levels: control (no fertilization ) , 50 , 100 and 150 kg per ha nitrogen from urea source and subplots , including several varie...

Objective: Yield components and genetic contribution have the most important in final yield and breeding programs of crop plants. For this purpose, 20 varieties of grapevines with Russia origin were evaluated in Urmia and Takestan research station (under full irrigation and drought stress). Methods: Twenty grapevine genotypes were evaluated in Urmia and Takestan research station (under full irr...

There have been recent changes in the Caspian Sea ecosystem, such as those due to changes in sea level or those caused by the invasive ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi. It is believed that these changes had significant impacts on the absolute and relative abundance of the commercially important anchovy kilka (Clupeonella engrauliformis) and common kilka (C. cultriventris caspia) leading to decline...

to evaluate the anti-transpiration effect on yield and yield components of corn late yield 704 under drought stress experiment split factorial randomized complete block design with three replications in spring 2012 at the research station, kermanshah. and paclobutrazol treatments include salicylic acid, which is taking on two levels. based on the values determined in the following order foliar ...

to study the yield and change the attributes associated with it, the field experiments were conducted at the gorgan university of agricultural sciences research farm, gorgan, iran in the growing seasons of 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 under well-watered conditions. the 16 cultivars were sown in a randomized complete block design with three replications. the results showed that during breeding activi...

Light intensity intercepted by the soybean canopy during the reproductive period is an important environmental factor determining soybean yield components and grain yield. A 2-year field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of light enrichment and its interaction with planting density on yield formation of soybean cultivars. Light enrichment increased seed yield per plant and yie...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology of suicides among U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Navy recruits from 1980 through 2004. METHODS Recruit suicides were identified through the Department of Defense Recruit Mortality Registry. We calculated crude, category-specific, and age-adjusted mortality rates as deaths per 100,000 recruit-years. RESULTS There w...

The incidence of recruit injuries during basic training in the Irish Army is, to date undocumented. In this retrospective cohort study, the medical records of 415 recruits are examined. The lower limb predominated as the anatomical site of the majority of injuries. The overall incidence of male 'first time' injuries was 56.96 per 1000 man-week training. The corresponding female figure was 99.26...

Abstract In 2015, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources changed size and harvest limits for catfishes (Blue Catfish Ictalurus furcatus , Flathead Pylodictis olivaris Channel I. punctatus ) in lower Ohio River to match those neighboring states. The new regulations imposed a daily limit one 88.9‐cm (35‐in) or larger Blue per fisher, 71.1‐cm (28‐in) 33.0‐cm (13‐in) minimum length all specie...
