Successful deformity correction depends on establishing the aetiology of the deformity. Clinical examination, additional laboratory tests and consultation with other experts may be needed to complete the workup. Imaging studies should include full-length standing X-rays in all relevant planes, and additional imaging modalities like computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) m...

Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum L.) breeding programs aim to develop later maturing cultivars for extending early spring grazing in Western Canada. Plant maturity is a complex genetic trait, and little is known about genes associated with late maturity in this species. An attempt was made using RNA-Seq to profile the transcriptome of crested wheatgrass maturity and to analyze differenti...

in this study 18 corn hybrids consist of 15 new early and mid mature foreign hybrids and three commercial iranian corn hybrids (ksc704, ksc647 and dc370) as controls were evaluated at two rcbd with three replications at the khorasan razavi agricultural research and natural resources center, during 2008 -2010. results showed that hybrid exp1 and dc370 with 16.5 and 12.1 t.ha-1 were the best and ...

This study was conducted at the Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources farm, Iran, Golestan province with about 600 mm annual rainfall in order to evaluate the effect of different sowing dates on Azivash (Corchorusolitorius) seed quality, using a randomized complete block design with three replications on 2013. Treatments were four sowing dates such as May 5, ...

seven maize inbred lines were crossed in a complete diallel cross design at the seed and plant improvement institute, karaj, iran, during the 2006 growing season. the parents and 42 f1 hybrids were grown in the research field of islamic azad university of firoozabad, firoozabad, iran, using a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications, during the 2007 growing season. the ha...

1. The cladoeeran Daphnia serves as an example of an iteroparous organism, with overlapping generations, that is eapable of substantial adult growth. The life history of Daphnia was modelIed as the eonsequenee of aseries of decisions about alloeation of energetie resourees to growth and reproduetion. 2. We used numerieal methods to find resouree alloeation patterns that maximized fitness of Dap...

Calculation of the expected limb length discrepancy at maturity plays an important part in the timing of operations designed to equalise length. Present methods assume similar pre-operative and postoperative rates of bone growth in limbs undergoing diaphysea! lengthening procedures. Moseley (1977) conceived a straight line graph to predict the optimal timing ofsurgery to lengthen the shorter li...
