AIM To assess secular trends in birth weights of liveborn infants in Croatia from 1983 to 2003. METHODS Of a total of 959,591 liveborn infants in the study period, 384,367 were born in the prewar (1983-1989), 226,226 during the war (1991-1995), and 348 998 in the postwar (1996-2003) period. The birth weight of liveborn infants was assessed by 500 g weight groups on the basis of data provided ...

in this study, some seed physical properties of two sugar beet varieties, shirin and gadouk (436), were evaluated as a function of moisture content. physical properties included length, width, thickness, arithmetic and geometric mean diameters, sphericity, thousand seed weight, angle of repose, terminal velocity, true density, bulk density, porosity, and coefficient of friction. four moisture c...

although micronutrients effect on growth and yield of different plants has been intensively investigated, but there is limited information on its effect on grain yield and seed oil content of pot marigold) calendula officinalis l.). in order to investigate the effects of micronutrients (fe, zn and mn) spraying on yield and yield components and seed oil of pot marigold, a field experiment was co...
