Serial assessments of neurocognitive functioning in athletes with concussion are commonly used for return to play decisions. This study provides reliable change indices (RCIs) for computerized tests from 40 NCAA Division I collegiate athletes that suffered a sports-related concussion. The normative data that resulted from the RCIs and subsequent analyses of differences between improved and not ...

Chlorophyll fluorescence and hyperspectral reflectance were used to evaluate physiological responses to two common stressors in coastal environments. Chlorophyll content is one indicator of drought and salinity vegetation stress because of its direct role in the photosynthetic process and electron transport. Recent advances in fluorescence spectroscopy have led to the development of numerous re...

In order to evaluate the effect of hydropriming and Salinity stress on germination indices Niger, a factorial experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with four replications at seed research laboratory Shahrekord University. treatments were applied five levels (0, 25, 50, 100 150 mM NaCl). Hydropriming two (control 6-hour distilled water). Results showed that effects water s...

Saline to freshwater invasions have become increasingly common in recent years. A key hypothesis is that rates of freshwater invasions have been amplified in recent years by increased food concentration, yet this hypothesis has remained unexplored. We examined whether elevated food concentration could enhance freshwater tolerance, and whether this effect evolves following saline to freshwater i...

Salt stress has detrimental effects on the growth and development of rice seedlings. In present study we assessed salt-responsiveness three coastal landraces namely Nona-morchi, Kalihytta Nara. We conducted two factors pot trial that included five genotypes (three candidates landraces, Binadhan-10 as tolerant check BRRI dhan48 sensitive check) against salinity levels e.g., control (tap water), ...

Analysis of the first 26 months of data from the Aquarius satellite confirms the existence of a sharp sea surface salinity (SSS) front along the equator in the western equatorial Pacific. Following several earlier studies, we use the longitudinal location of the 34.8-psu isohaline as an index, termed Niño-S34.8, to measure the zonal displacement of the SSS front and consequently the eastern edg...

The role of zinc (Zn) in enhancing defense capacity of several plants against salinity has been demonstrated but there is limited information on the impact of Zn nutrition on alleviating salinity-induced oxidative damage in olive. One-year-old seedlings of two varieties of olive (Olea europaea L. cvs. Frontoio and Conservolea) supplied with three Zn levels (0, 1 and 5 mM in the form of ZnSO4.7H...

Substrate reaction is one of the most important agrochemical indices which affect the plants by their different requirements from this point of view. Substrate reaction or pH is determinate by the presence in the liquid phase of H ions, as result of the ionic equilibrium between liquid phase and solid phase. Some species prefer an acid pH and other accept a large scale of pH, so it is important...
