Based on our formulation of the DNA electrophoresis near a pore [Rowghanian and Grosberg, Phys. Rev. E (to be published)], we address the electrophoretic DNA capture into a nanopore as a steady-state process of particle absorption to a sink placed on top of an energy barrier. Reproducing the previously observed diffusion-limited and barrier-limited regimes as two different limits of the particl...

the growth parameters, mortality rates and exploitation population dynamic parameters and exploitation rate of psettodes erumei were assessed between july 2010 to june 2011 using length frequency analysis. the data were collected from landing sites of jask, bandar abass, kong and qeshm hormozgan province waters. using total weight (w) and total length (tl) data, the length- weight relationship ...

The study aimed to investigate the effects of mycorrhizal inoculation on growth and development; three plant species: Petunia hybrida, Antirrhinum majus, Dianthus chinensis. as well heavy metals in soil. measured various parameters such shoot fresh weight, root flower numbers, length, diameter, leaves number, petiole length. Results showed a significant increase weight 10.74 g, weight1.77g, num...

OBJECTIVE To construct gestation specific standards of birth weight, crown-heel length, and head circumference of Chinese infants. DESIGN A prospective cross sectional population study. METHODS The birth weight, crown-heel length, and head circumference were prospectively measured using standard equipment in newborns delivered at 24-42 weeks gestation in the maternity units of 10 public hos...

Objective: To study whether birth size influences colorectal cancer risk in adulthood. Design: A cohort of Norwegian men and women identified from midwives’ birth records with long term cancer follow up through the Norwegian Cancer Registry. Setting: St Olav’s University Hospital, Trondheim, Norway. Participants: 16 016 women and 19 681 men born between 1920 and 1958 and alive in 1960. Outcome ...

We attempt to provide a comprehensive answer to the question of whether, and when, an arrow of complexity emerges in Darwinian evolution. We note that this expression can be interpreted in different ways, including a passive, incidental growth, or a pervasive bias towards complexification. We argue at length that an arrow of complexity does indeed occur in evolution, which can be most reasonabl...

The aim of this paper was to analyze if intergenerational undernutrition causes growth retardation in weight and body length in two generations of rats and, if so, to assess whether the delay is cumulative. Male and female rats were assigned to one of the following groups: (1) control: they were fed ad libitum and constituted the parental generation (P), and (2) undernourished generations (F1 a...

abstract this study was performed to compare the efficiency of 6 microalgae namely dunaliella tertiolecta, tetraselmis suecica, chlorella sp., (green algae), nannochloropsis oculata, spirolina sp.(blue-green algae) cheatocerus sp. (diatoma),  and isochrices sp. (haptophytae) on the growth, survival and reproduction efficacy in artemia urmiana in laboratory conditions. artemia cysts were harvest...
