1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

abstract this study aimed at investigating the possible relationship between self-assessment in writing and self-regulation of iranian efl learners. the main purpose of the study was not only to report and inform about this relationship, but also to investigate and find practical outcomes of the incorporation of self-assessment in writing, such as improving writing skill. the research was carr...

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

In order to investigate the growth responses of sugar beet plant to drought stress and foliar application of proline at different growth stages, a field experiment was conducted as split plot arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the field Research Station of Shahrekord University during 2015. Main plot three level of irrigation treatments (100% (control),...

Soybean (Glycine max) is sensitive to drought stress, and increasing its yield, requires the selection of tolerate varieties which are adapted to semiarid or low water climates of Iran. In this research, the experiment was performed based on a factorial completely randomized design with three replications at 2013. Experimental factors were consisted of 8 genotypes of soybeans and 6 levels of dr...

126 abstract: in this research we studied the effects of cyclic hydration and dehydration of cysts of artemia urmiana and artemia parthenogenetica on the hatching percentage, survival and growth. the experiment was carried out in 3 treatments (1-3 hydration/dehydration cycles) with 3 replicates for each treatment. later effects of cold preservation at -20°c during three time periods were ...

Plant used different mechanisms to avoidance drought stress. This study was conducted to evaluate the role of exogenous application of glycine betaine in improving drought tolerance of Brassica napus. The study was performed on randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Different amounts of glycine betaine i.e. 0, 100 and 200 mM in combination with various irrigation periods i.e. 3, ...
