Abstract Low nutrient use efficiency in maize as a result of imbalanced nutrition has been reported to drastically reduce yield. We implemented omission experiment assess the effect application on yield and nutritional balance. Maize ear leaves were analyzed for nutrients, identify balance status using Diagnostic Recommendation Integrated System (DRIS) approach. Results indicated that N or P re...

BACKGROUND Knowledge of energy requirements among relatively healthy elderly is limited. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the study were to measure total energy expenditure (TEE)-derived energy requirements in a biracial population of older adults without limitations to daily life and to test these empirical measures against national and international recommendations. DESIGN TEE (measured by th...

Weight-loss diets restrict intakes of energy and macronutrients but overlook micronutrient profiles. Commercial diet plans may provide insufficient micronutrients. We analyzed nutrient profiles of three plans and compared their micronutrient sufficiency to Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for male U.S. adults. Hypocaloric vegan (Eat to Live-Vegan, Aggressive Weight Loss; ETL-VAWL), high-animal-...

Introduction. Chronic persistent device-related infections (DRIs) often give culture-negative results in a microbiological investigation. In such cases, investigations on the device metagenome might have diagnostic value. Materials and Methods. The 16SrRNA gene sequence analysis next-generation sequencing (NGS) of clinical were performed to detect bacterial diversity invasive medical devices po...

In recent years increasing attention has been given to the Diagnosis and Recommedation lntegrated System (DRIS) for diagnosing the nutrient requirement of sugarcane and other crops. Sugarcane yield data and third leaf analysis from 96 fertilizer trials have been used to establish whether DRlS can be used to improve the quality of the fertilizer advisory service offered by the Experiment Station...
