Abstract Genetic improvement of okra for yield is significant because the nutritional, economic and health benefits inherent in it to overcome low genetic potential existing varieties environmental factors which are major constraints yield. Therefore, this study was carried out understand nature yield, its association with components on selection can be made determine effect different years gai...

Abstract Diet and morphology of Serrapinnus notomelas sp.1 were investigated across ontogeny, as a way to elucidate the key elements linked resource partitioning (a main driver for species coexistence). Fish sampling was conducted monthly between October 2010 March 2012. Individuals captured, identified, classified into juvenile or adult. Our results show ontogenetic interspecific differences i...

Isabgol is a medicinal plant known for its high-quality dietary fiber. The genetics and inheritance of economic characters, such as number of panicles, panicle length, seed yield, and swelling factor, were measured by diallel analysis of F(1) progenies from seven parents. The additive component of genetic variance was significant for days to flowering, plant height, branches/plant, peduncle len...

This article presents information about the development and evaluation of the SF-36 Health Survey, a 36-item generic measure of health status. It summarizes studies of reliability and validity and provides administrative and interpretation guidelines for the SF-36. A brief history of the International Quality of Life Assessment (IQOLA) Project is also included.

This paper reports on the findings of a study to derive a preference-based measure of health from the SF-36 for use in economic evaluation. The SF-36 was revised into a six-dimensional health state classification called the SF-6D. A sample of 249 states defined by the SF-6D have been valued by a representative sample of 611 members of the UK general population, using standard gamble. Models are...

Paired imaging studies consisting of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed in eight dogs to evaluate subjectively whether MRI is superior to CT in detecting intracalvarial changes associated with canine nasal neoplasia. Imaging in four anatomical regions (caudal ethmoturbinates, cribriform plate, frontal sinuses, and the olfactory peduncle of the frontal l...
