The effects of soil water deficit and interspecific plant interaction were studied on the dry matter (DM ) yield of white clover and ryegrass and on the morphogenesis of white clover. Plants were grown either: (1) individually (no interaction); or in a mixture of equal plant numbers with either (2) just shoot interaction, or (3) both shoot+root interaction. Plants were subjected to soil water d...

With the arrival of an aging society and progress surgical procedures, total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been carried out more more. However, postoperative pain severely affected patient’s recovery, there is currently no reliable analgesic method available. Evidence-based international expert consensus also recommends, compared to LIA, peripheral nerve block (PNB) as a central approach use in TH...

this study carried out in a factorial layout on completely randomaized block design with three replications, to evaluate the above- and below- ground competition between sesame (sesamum indicum) and pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus), and their impacts on sesame yield and yield component. the experimental treatments were all combination of crop-weed competition (shoot competition, root competitio...

in drought stress condition, it is important to estimate the n and k requirement of sugar beet. a drought-tolerant sugar beet genotype, bp karaj, was evaluated in split plot factorial design based on a randomized complete block design with four replications at motahari research station, karaj, iran for three years. main plots were allocated to irrigation treatments including normal irrigation (...

BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an increasingly common procedure among elderly individuals. Although conversion THA is currently bundled in a diagnosis related group (DRG) with primary THA, no study has identified whether patients undergoing conversion THA better resemble patients undergoing primary THA or revision THA. The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Impro...

this study was conducted in split plot design based on a randomized complete block design in naghadeh region, urmia, iran in 2009-10. two sowing patterns including a1) single row planting with 50 cm between-row spacing, and a2) two rows planting on the hill with 40 cm distance and 50 cm between-row spacing (40×50) were allocated to main plots and four furrow compactions including b1) control, b...

water is one of the most important restrictive factors in crop production. therefore, optimum use of water resources in line with sustainable agriculture is mandatory. in this research the effects of different amounts of allowed soil water depletion at various growth stages of root sugar beet and its effect on qualitative and quantitative characters of the crop were studied. the experimental de...

We compared differences in isometric strength between older adults who have undergone elective unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) and completed rehabilitation with a population of community-dwelling older adults who have not had THA. The study was a cross-sectional design, and 22 unilateral THA subjects and 38 community-dwelling older adults participated. THA subjects received on average 1...
