background  short stature is a manifestation of a wide variety of conditions that some of which may be amenable to timely treatment and a suboptimal growth rate may be an early marker pointing to the cause of growth retardation. this study was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic utility of growth rate in differential diagnosis of children with short stature. materials and methods all children ...

abstract     crop residues are well known for their chemical (allelopathic) effects on crops. the allelopathic potential of the aqueous extracts and chopped residual of sorghum (sorghum bicolor l.) on germination, seedling growth, relative water content, seedling dry weight, seedling length and antioxidant enzyme activity namely catalase (cat), peroxidase (pod) and superoxide dismutase (sod) of...

In order to estimate responses of growth rate and growth hormone of Clarias gariepinus to stocking density, fish (initial weight 30.71 ± 0.89 g) were stocked in 120-L tanks at densities of 35, 65, 95, and 125 kg/m3 for 60 days. On day 30 and 60, the fish growth rates were measured, pituitary growth hormone (GH) mRNA levels and serum GH concentrations were examined by real-time qPCR and ELISA te...

A field experiment was carried out in the year 2014 and 2015 at experimental of Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh to evaluate effect agronomic weed management practices on crop growth rate (CGR) relative (RGR) direct seeded rice. Twenty-four treatment combinations consisting two mulching viz. no mulch live (brown manuring with Sesbania) nitrogen levels (120 kg ha-1, 150 ha-1&nbs...

in the paper we establish some new results depending on thecomparative growth properties of composition of entire functionsusing relative $l^{ast }$-order (relative $l^{ast }$-lowerorder) as compared to their corresponding left and right factorswhere $lequiv lleft( rright) $ is a slowly changing function.

In order to improve the traditional freezing crystallization process of calcium nitrate in nitric phosphate process, crystal growth experiments by adding Ca(NO3)2·4H2O seeds in supersaturated calcium nitrate solution in a Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) crystallizer were carried out on crystal growth kinetics. The results showed that the growth of C...

abstract in order to study the effect of various densities of wild mustard (sinapis arvensis l.) on growth indices of canola (brassica napus l.) in climate of molathani, ahvaz, an experiment was conducted in the experimental field of ramin agricultural and natural resources university, in 2006-2007. the split-plot set of treatments was arranged within randomized complete block design with four ...
