Abstract Grain size and shape are important yield indicators. A hint for reexamining the visual markers of grain weight can be found in wheat width. digital vernier caliper is used to measure length, width, thickness. The data consisted 1296 grains, with measurements each grain. In this set, average (We) twenty-four grains was measured recorded. To determine length (L), width (W), thickness (T)...

fecundity is one of the important indicators of reproduction biology in fishes especially in rearing and restocking management of endangered species such as sturgeon. the fecundity of stellate sturgeon (acipenser stellatus pallas, 1771) was studied in 50 specimens captured by gill net (mesh size= 100 mm) and seine net in different fishing areas along the southeastern part of the caspian sea fro...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the pituitary gland dimensions due to age and weight using computed tomography (CT) in dogs and cats. The CT images of pituitary gland were assessed in 11 client-owned dogs (six males and five females; age range, 1 to 9 years) and 15 client-owned cats (eight males and seven females; age range, 1 to 14 years) with no evidence of pituitary diseases. The...

according to its superficial anatomical location, the thyroid gland is easily accessible by sonography. sonography allows an exact documentation of the size and thyroid volume. the relationship between thyroid volume and anthropometric characteristics is a matter of controversy. the aim of this study was to investigate thyroid volume and its determinants in healthy adult. a cross-sectional stud...

this study was carried out on olive trees cv. amygdalifolia, to investigate the effect of spraying potassium nitrate, kno3, and zinc sulfate, znso4, on the fruit weight, dimension and volume. the plants were sprayed with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% kno3 and 0, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% znso4 and their combinations in august about halfway through the fruit growth period. the highest fruit weight was observe...

in order to investigate the effects of plant growth promoting bacteria on growth characteristic of wheat, an experiment was conducted at the research greenhouse, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in year 2009. a completely randomized design based on factorial arrangement (3×6) with three replications was used. the first factor consisted of three cultivars of wheat (c...

poly(vinyl acetate) is synthesized via solution polymerization, and then it is converted to poly(vinyl alcohol) by alkaline alcoholysis. the aim of the work study was to investigate statistically the  influence of reaction variables in vinyl acetate polymerization, the conversion of this monomer to polymer, degree of branching of acetyl group in poly(vinyl acetate), as well as the molecular wei...
