Dry matter intake (DMI) is fundamentally important in nutrition because it establishes the amount of nutrients available to an animal for health and production. Actual or accurately estimated DMI is important for the formulation of diets to prevent underfeeding or overfeeding of nutrients and to promote efficient nutrient use. Underfeeding of nutrients restricts production and can affect the he...

There is evidence that chloride (Cl―) can lead to both an improved hydration and water use efficiency in plants due its osmotic properties. The potato crop widely assumed be sensitive Cl―. This based on studies which found tuber yield or starch reductions following a Cl― fertilization. However, there are also contradictory reports could not find any detrimental effect of fertilization plant dev...

Hamartoma of the tuber cinereum is a well-recognized cause of central precocious puberty. We report three patients with an isodense, nonenhancing mass within the interpeduncular cistern identified by CT. In a fourth patient, the CT scan was normal. MR imaging was obtained in all cases and demonstrated a sessile or pedunculated mass of the posterior hypothalamus arising from the region of the tu...

Since silicon regulates plant physiological and biochemical processes, it was hypothesized that foliar application could contribute to improving the quality of new potatoes. This paper analyzes effect (sodium silicate) on nutritional value sensory Silicon applied at dose 23.25 g Si·ha−1 or 46.50 once leaf development stage (BBCH 14–16) tuber initiation 40–41) twice, stages. Potatoes were harves...

BACKGROUND Neuroimaging studies of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) have previously focused mainly on tubers or subependymal nodules. Subtle pathological changes in the structure of the brain have not been studied in detail. Computationally intensive techniques for reliable morphometry of brain structure are useful in disorders like TSC, where there is little prior data to guide selection of re...

this study investigated intra-specific variation in the growth parameters and dry mat-ter partitioning of sugar beet cultivars at different levels of salinity (0, 50, 150, 250 and 350 mm nacl + cacl2 in 5:1 molar ratio) using four cvs, one british (madison) and three iranian cvs (7233-p12, 7233-p21 and 7233-p29). the plants were grown in a controlled greenhouse environment for about 18 weeks. a...
