ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological indices sour passion fruit under brackish water irrigation strategies and potassium fertilization. carried out field conditions in São Domingos, PB, Brazil, using a randomized block design 6 × 2 factorial scheme, with treatments consisting six (irrigation moderately saline (1.3 dS m-1) throughout crop cycle - WS; high-salini...

Optimum growing temperature is necessary for maximum yield-potential in any crop. The global atmospheric changing more rapidly and irregularly every year. High at the flowering/reproductive stage rice causes partial to complete pollen sterility, resulting significant reduction grain yield. Green Super Rice (GSR) an effort develop elite type that can withstand multiple environmental stresses mai...

The paperaim of the was to study the effect of low temperature stress on Avena nuda L. seedlings. Cold stress leads to many changes of physiological indices, such as membrane permeability, free proline content, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and chlorophyll content. Cold stress also leads to changes of some protected enzymes such as peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CA...

Predator-induced changes in physiology and behaviour may negatively affect a prey's birth rate. Evidence of such indirect predator effects on prey demography remains scarce in birds and mammals despite invertebrate and aquatic studies that suggest ignoring such effects risks profoundly underestimating the total impact of predators. We report the first experimental demonstration of indirect pred...

In order to evaluate intellectual productivity such as the efficiency of performing mental works, several studies were conducted where specially designed tasks were given. However, the result may not be reflected the actual intellectual productivity because the designed tasks are different from office works. Meanwhile, there are two mental states (work and temporary rest state) in office worker...

Aim. To evaluate the relationship between uterine artery Doppler indices and placental bed histopathology independent of clinical outcome. Materials and Methods. Uterine artery measurements were performed to 510 pregnant women who had come for routine antenatal care in 11-14th and 20-24th weeks. Placental bed biopsies from 141 cases were taken during cesarean section. Physiological changes and ...

This paper compares the Portuguese and Bulgarian consumer price indices (CPI) and attempts to identify some areas in which the CPI compilation methodology could be improved in the two countries. This work is organised into six sections. The first section briefly describes the organisational structure on which the production of the CPI is based in the two countries. The second section focuses on...
