background: we aimed to observe the effect of holistic nursing on patients undergoing hematodialysis for uremia who simultaneously were suffering from moderate to severe malnutrition. methods: eighty patients with uremia on maintenance hematodialysis with malnutrition between june 2014 and june 2015 from yantaishan hospital, yantai, shandong, china were included and equally and randomly were di...

The diurnal variations in the factors of photosynthesis reduction under well-watered greenhouse conditions remain poorly understood. We conducted measurements gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) for three sunny days. Quantitative limitation analysis was also to investigate photosynthetic limitations [stomatal (SL), mesophyll (MCL), biochemical (BL...

Ministers are set to scrap plans for minimum nursing home staffing ratios as part of a move to water down proposals for national care home standards.

a few information about the combined effects of different environmental stress on turfgrass physiology and growth is available. also, a separate study of environmental factors on plant cannot be a suitable model for natural conditions. this study was conducted to investigate the interactive effects of different levels of shade (0, 50, and 70%) and water treatments (well-watered and non-irrigate...

Net photosynthesis is stimulated in third seedling leaves of barley plants whose lower two leaves are heavily infected by Erysiphe graminis f.sp. hordei Marchal. Stimulation is greater in water-stressed than in well-watered plants. In stressed, but not in well-watered plants, stimulation is associated with the maintenance of high leaf water potential and high leaf conductance. A small part of t...

vernacular architecture has always had appropriate answer in conformity with the environment and climate. this paper has considered values of iran vernacular urbanization and architecture in humid and moderate climate looking through sustainability and sustainable development concepts. gorgan city has been studied using laboratory studies and available sources and relying on the content analysi...

BACKGROUND: Researches in the field of engine oils sludging take its origin from 1955. Scientists different countries were searching for reasons, defining consequences, building a chain cause-effect links. Researchers have found that sludge represents complex compounds with low aggregative stability, such as: additives inserted into basis during production, partially oxidised fuel fractions sub...

Adaptive physiological changes were investigated in seven populations of Sitka (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) x interior spruce (P. glauca (Moench) Voss x P. engelmannii Parry ex Engelm.) spanning the Nass-Skeena transition zone in British Columbia, Canada. Each population was represented by an Si rDNA index that was calculated from the relative optical densities on a gel autoradiogram of fiv...
