OBJECTIVES The evaluation of hypoxia index (HI) in the prediction of abnormal fetal heart rate at delivery in uncomplicated pregnancies. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study group included 148 pregnant patients at term (69 patients with and 79 without brain sparing effect). The value of C/U ratio and HI was determined. Next, its value in predicting abnormal fetal heart rate during labor was evaluat...

introduction grain legumes are considered as the second source of human nutrition after cereals and play an important role in community food supply, sustainable agriculture and economic profitability. among grain legumes, common bean has the most consumption in the world compared with others. however there are always some constraints in common bean production and drought is most important facto...

the present study aimed at investigating the effect of different levels of nitrogen on yield and yield components of bread and durum wheat. to this end the experiment was conducted in 2010-2011 in south west of iran as split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications. main plot included four levels of nitrogen 60, 120, 180, 240 kg.ha-1 and the sub plot included four...

sion problems are increasingly severe (Küsmenoğlu and Muehlbauer, 1998). Domestication and subsequent genetic enhancement in lentil (Lens Individual lentil plants are typically short with slender culinaris Medik.) have involved changes in plant structure and DM stems and so crop stands produce small amounts of distribution. These changes were examined using a ‘‘genetic gradient’’ comprising thr...

soil compaction has become a widespread problem in the world and is one of the factors involved in land degradation and declining crop yields, especially in the arid and semi-arid agriculture. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of subsoil compaction on morphological, physiological and agronomic aspects of wheat .the research was carried out in the experimental farms of anb...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with impairment of cognitive function, and improvement is often noted with treatment. Golf is a sport that requires a range of cognitive skills. We evaluated the impact of nasal positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy on the handicap index (HI) of golfers with OSAS. METHODS Golfers underwent a nocturnal polysomnogram (NPSG)...

The AquaCrop model was calibrated and validated for canola (Brassica napus) under Moistube irrigation (MTI) various water regimes [(i) 100%, (ii) 75%, (iii) 55% of crop requirement (ETc)] over two seasons, 2019 2020. normalised root mean square (nRMSE), Model Efficiency (EF), R2, the Willmot’s index agreement (d) statistics were used to evaluate model’s efficiency in simulating biomass (B), can...
