The effects of salt stress and auxin on germination factors of three wheat cultivars viz. Sepahan, c-84-8, and c-83-1 were studied under controlled conditions. Germination was assessed using three replicates of 25 seeds in a factorial lay out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) testing combinations of three levels of salinity (0, 4, and 8 dSm-1 NaCl) and three levels of auxin (0, 0.5, and 1 p...

We examined the effect of competition on stem growth of Picea glauca and Populus tremuloides in boreal mixedwood stands during the stem exclusion stage. We combined traditional approaches of collecting competition data with dendrochronology to provide retrospective measurements of stem diameter growth. Several competition indices including stand basal area (BA), the sum of stem diameter at brea...

The evaluation of the effects of drugs on the growth of transplanted ascites tumors in laboratory animals can be based on the performance of different growth indices (2). Some of them (e.g., the total number of free tumor cells in the peritoneal cavity, the total packed cell volume) measure directly the increments of the tumor cell number or volume, whereas the other indices (e.g., survival tim...

AIMS To evaluate the proliferative activity of urothelial neoplasms, compare it with that of the normal urinary tract epithelium, and determine its relation to morphological grade and presence of invasion. METHODS Multiple biopsy specimens from 53 individuals--eight normal controls, five patients with severe urothelial atypia, and 40 with transitional cell carcinomas (TCCs)--were studied usin...

in this research the effects of mycorrhizal symbiosis and irrigation intervals on growth indices and grain yield of two sorghum cultivars was studied. field experiment was laid out as a split plot factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications. irrigation intervals as main factor in three levels (7, 14 and 21days) and factorial combination of two sorghum cultivars (...

This study evaluates the effects of flooding conditions on two Okra cultivars (Ibadan local and Jokoso) at Abeokuta, Nigeria. The vary from continuous Flooding (FLD), Wetting after three Days (W3D), five (W5D), seven (W7D), andWetting ten (W10D). agronomic parameters (leaf width, leaf length, plant height, numbers leaves, area) yield data (weight, fruit diameter, length) were subjected to analy...

This paper compares the Portuguese and Bulgarian consumer price indices (CPI) and attempts to identify some areas in which the CPI compilation methodology could be improved in the two countries. This work is organised into six sections. The first section briefly describes the organisational structure on which the production of the CPI is based in the two countries. The second section focuses on...
