the purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of physical exercise and addiction of female rats on male offspring's physical growth indexes. the research method was experimental. statistical population consisted of female rats (albino – wistar) obtained from pasteur institute, iran. the data were gathered from 116 male offspring (including 4 groups: addicted mother– sporting m...

Introduction: Accurate determination of skeletal maturity and remaining growth is crucial to many orthodontic, orthognathic and dental implant timing decision. Cervical vertebral stages and hand-wrist radiographs are currently used to identify peak mandibular bone growth. These are highly subjective techniques that not only involve radiographic exposure but also lack the ability to determine th...

Container-grown quiescent Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (Beissn.) Franco) seedlings were air dried to plant water potentials of -0.2, -2.2 or -3.8 MPa (unstressed, moderate, and severe stress treatments, respectively). Trees from each treatment were either placed in root mist chambers held at 10, 20, or 28 degrees C for 28 days and root growth potential (RGP) and plant water po...

Physical properties of soil are good for plant growth is closely related to the management soil, so it will need integrate physical get an overall assessment with making quality index (SPQI). This study aims evaluation and determines using several unit treatments produce various qualities on Groundnut/Arachis hypogeal L. The location research was carried out in a farmer's garden Cimaung Village...

Growth stunting, defined as height for age below the fifth percentile on a reference growth curve, is traditionally used as an indicator of nutritional status in children. Growth stunting is a population-based indicator and can indicate the prevalence of malnutrition or nutrition-related disorders among an identified population of children. Among certain segments of the U.S. child population, m...

There is sex-difference in humans as regards aerobic efficiency, physical strength and endurance and the sex difference is greatly dependent upon differential concentration of testosterone during different phases of growth and development including the intrauterine phase or prenatal growth. Second-to-fourth digit lengths ratio (2D:4D) is an putative indicator of prenatal testosterone exposure. ...

background: regular physical activity is ranked as a leading health indicator. despite the extensive benefits of physical activity, elder people are much less active than desired. using theory of planned behavior (tpb) and the self-efficacy construct, this study examined the prediction of physical activity intention and behavior in a sample of elderly male resident of a nursing home. methods: i...
