quantitative valuations of observed heterosis for 11 traits of 15 f1 hybrids generated by half diallel crosses of six diverse rice cultivars (domsefid, hashemi and binam, three iranian local cultivars; dorfak, kadous and ir30, three improved cultivars), were made in this study. fifteen f1 hybrids and their parents were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications at t...

in order to produce new hybrids and evaluate the general and specific combining ability of sunflower inbred lines and restorers, four inbred lines and six restorers were selected in 2004. twenty-four f1 hybrids were derived in 2004 and evaluated on a rcbd design with three replications in 2005. the results of variance analysis showed that treatments were significantly different for all traits e...

Research on the SAT has shown a substantial correlation with measures of g such as the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Another widely administered test for college admission is the American College Test (ACT). Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, measures of g were derived from the ASVAB and correlated with ACT scores for 1075 participants. The resulting cor...

A randomized controlled trial was conducted to examine the effects of interdisciplinary team care on acute hospitalized stroke patients. After obtaining baseline information on 42 stroke victims receiving conventional care in a general hospital, 130 stroke patients were stratified and randomly assigned either to Traditional or Team care. Assessments by independent evaluators permitted compariso...
