The appropriate arrangement of sorghum plants combined with the supply nutrients increases grain yield. In this context, objective was to evaluate agronomic performance grown under different plant arrangements and nitrogen fertilization levels. Experiments were carried out in Rio Verde Montividiu a 3 x 2 factorial randomized completely block design six replications, three spacing between rows (...

DNA molecular weight standard control, also called DNA marker (ladder), has been widely used in the experiments of molecular biology. In the paper, we report a method by which DNA marker was prepared based on multiple PCR technique. 100-1000 bp DNA fragments were amplified using the primers designed according to the 6631 ~ 7630 position of lambda DNA. Target DNA fragments were amplified using T...

Gudalur Adivasi Hospital provides inand outpatient services to four main tribal (Adivasi) populations – Paniya, Bettakurumba, Mullakurumba and Kattunaikan – in a remote part of the Gudalur District, Tamil Nadu, India. It is classified as 'backward' by the Indian government. According to the 2011 census, Gudalur had a population of 49 535, with 1032 females for every 1000 males, much higher than...

All singleton live births occurring in Singapore in the three years 1981-3 were computed, and birthweight was examined in the different ethnic groups (Chinese, Malay, and Indian). Overall the proportions of babies of very low birthweight (less than 1500 g) and low birthweight (less than 2500 g) were: Chinese 0.3% and 6.1%, Malays 0.4% and 8.5%, and Indians 0.5% and 10.0%. The important finding ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the outcomes of twin pregnancies conceived by artificial reproductive techniques (ART) with those of spontaneous conception. STUDY DESIGN In this multicenter prospective trial, comparisons were made between methods of conception in twin pregnancies, for maternal and perinatal outcomes. RESULTS Of 1001 twin pairs, 763/1001 (72.7%) were spontaneously conceived and 238/100...

We conducted a large retrospective study to investigate the confounding factors that predict Ce ROC under propofol-based TIVA with TCI. We recorded sex, age, height, weight, Ce LOC, Ce ROC, total propofol and fentanyl consumption dose, and anesthetic time. Simple linear regression models were used to identify potential predictors of Ce ROC, and multiple linear regression models were used to ide...

The oxidation behavior of Ti3AlC2-based materials had been investigated at 600 °C in static air for 1000 h. It was shown that the intense increase of weight gain per unit surface area for sintered material with porosity of 22 % attributed to oxidation of the outer surface of the specimen and surfaces of pores in the bulk material. The oxidation kinetics of the hot-pressed Ti3AlC2-based material...

Routinely collected data for 187,000 Scottish singleton livebirths in 1980-2 were used to relate the risk of birthweight below 2500 g, 2000 g, 1500 g, and 1000 g to sex of infant and nine maternal factors. Maternal height was a major predictor of birthweight below 2500g but was less important in predicting birthweight in the lower intervals. A history of prenatal death and spontaneous abortion ...

The relationships between the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of chemicals in fish and their size, as characterized by molecular weight (MW), effective cross sectional diameter (Deff), and maximum diameter (Dmax) have been investigated using an experimental data set of 737 new and 441 existing chemicals monitored by the Japanese Chemical Substances Control Law (CSCL). Substances with BCF > or = 5...
