Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present a cranifacial growth model using anthropometry based on changes observed in the human face. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional analytical study was conducted randomly on 45 pepole, with normal face patterns.Facial and cranial ratios were measured and compared. Data was analyzed by SPSS software. The regression line and the growth coeffic...

Seed pretreated with plant growth regulators can improve germination parameters, growth, and yield of crops. Thus, in two greenhouse and field experiments, effects of seed treatment with 0.1 mM salicylic acid (SA), 1µM methyl jasmonate (MJ), 1.5% humic acid (HA), and water (as Control) on germination parameters, seedling growth, and also growth and fruit yield were studied. In the first experim...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different levels of prebiotic on growth performance and non-specific immune parameters of zebra fish. Four hundred and twenty fish (mean weight 45 ± 0.1 mg) were supplied, randomly stocked in aquaria assigned to four treatments repeated in triplicates and fed with experimental diets contain 0, 0.5, 1 and 2% prebiotic for 8 weeks. At th...

Feeding frequency and stocking density are important factors affecting growth and maturation of cultured fishes. The aims of this investigation were to determine the effects of stocking density (10, 20, 30 and 40 fish per aquarium) and feeding frequency (2, 3 and 4 times per day) on growth parameters and hematocrit of the Rutilus rutilus caspicus. The experiment was continued for 45 days in two...

This study was performed to estimate the growth parameters and mortality rate of (Nemipterus japonicus Bloch, 1971) with using length frequency data in Bushehr fishing grounds. sampling did monthy with using cutlassfish pelagic trawl, gillnet and bottem trawl. The growth parameters of k and L∞ were estimated 0.79 y-1 and 31.5 cm respectively. The t0 was estimated -0.2. b quantity for this spe...
