introduction: optimal child development necessitates proper nutrition in childhood. despite of improvements in child nutrition, there are still lots of challenges in proper child nutrition which shows the necessity of using the past experiences more than ever. despite of particular interest of iranians to cardinal humors (temperaments), unfortunately, families and medical staffs are not appropr...

Higher exportation of harvest residues from forests due to increased demand for woody biomass, has reportedly diminished soil mineral resources and may lead degraded tree nutrition as well growth. However, nutrients become less available in the soil, remobilization biomass tissues (plant internal cycling) helps sustain nutrition. Our study aims quantify impact Removing Harvest Residues Litter (...

background there is evidence that early enteral nutrition can improve clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of early enteral nutrition on clinical outcomes in medical patients admitted to the intensive care unit. materials and methods this prospective study was performed on 94 patients admitted to t...

education and information delivery is an integral part of an effective strategy to control the prevalence of obesity and diabetes. nutrition and dietetic portals provide integrated access to a wide range of information resources for nutritionists, physicians and the public due. the nutrition and dietetic portals in selected countries was reviewed to gain insight into the essential elements of s...

walnut tree is grown for multiple purposes. indeed, it is economically important and increasing its yield and improving its quality in order to compete in the international markets is one of great importance. to this end, one significant management practice is proper use of suitable fertilizers. zinc and phosphorus are two important elements in the nutrition of walnut. in this study, experiment...

Truffles ascocarps need carbon to grow, but it is not known whether this carbon comes directly from the tree (heterotrophy) or from soil organic matter (saprotrophy). The objective of this work was to investigate the heterotrophic side of the ascocarp nutrition by assessing the allocation of carbon by the host to Tuber melanosporum mycorrhizas and ascocarps. In 2010, a single hazel tree selecte...

A critical ecological question in plantation management is whether fertilization, which generally increases yield, results in enhanced C sequestration over short rotations. We present a rotation-length hybrid process model (SECRETS-3PG) that was calibrated (using control treatments; CW) and verified (using fertilized treatments; FW) using daily estimates of H2O and CO2 fluxes, canopy leaf area ...
