Studies estimating canopy volume are mostly based on laborious and time-consuming field measurements; hence, there is a need for easier and convenient means of estimation. Accordingly, this study investigated the use of remotely sensed data (WorldView-2 and LiDAR) for estimating tree height, canopy height and crown diameter, which were then used to infer the canopy volume of remnant eucalypt tr...

The present study derives simple formulas for the prediction of optimal insertion length of an esophageal temperature-sensitive probe from the measurements of either standing or sitting height. The formulas assume that the optimal site for an esophageal temperature probe is in the region of the esophagus bounded by the left ventricle and aorta, corresponding to the level of the eighth and ninth...

Harvesting frequency and intensity are management criteria in forage plants their choices affect herbage yield quality. The objectives of the study were to evaluate yields morphological components chemical composition (crude protein, neutral detergent fiber acid fiber) Saia oats (Avena strigosa Schreb) at three harvest frequencies (40, 50 60 cm sward height) intensities (8, 14 20 residual folia...

The embryonic period is characterized by organogenesis and accompanying dynamic changes in external features. The measurement of human embryos has been limited to whole body dimensions, such as crown-rump length. More detailed measurements would add quantitative information about these characteristic events and provide a better understanding of normal and abnormal embryonic development. In the ...

The aboveground biomass (AGB) of shrubs and small trees is the main component for productivity carbon storage understory vegetation in subtropical secondary forests. However, few allometric models exist to accurately evaluate biomass. To estimate AGB five common shrub (diameter at base < 5 cm, m high) one tree species (< 8 high, trees’s seedling), 206 individuals were harvested species-specific...

INTRODUCTION Marginal discrepancies may lead to cement washout and marginal leakage, damaging periodontal and pulp tissues or causing premature loss of the restoration. PURPOSE This study evaluated the influence of application site of provisional cement on the marginal adaptation of provisional crowns. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four different application sites of provisional cement (Temp Bond NE...

BACKGROUND Protective lung ventilation requires calculating predicted body weight (BW) from height. Thus, inaccuracy of height data in the electronic health record (EHR) is a risk factor for ventilator-induced lung injury. Charted height data often have uncertain accuracy. Study purposes were (1) to evaluate the difference between patient height charted in the EHR and predicted height (PH) from...

In an aeroponic system, nutrients are directly delivered to the plant roots, which results in faster growth of crops. Furthermore, aeroponics has been extensively used as a research tool for many difficult-to-propagate species. The present investigation shows that plants grown under system were recorded maximum all parameters except leaf area was found nursery conditions. Among treatments, T3 (...

Duration of various stages of inflorescence differentiation and hormone levels in apical buds eventually decide the harvest time, flower uniformity and quality of ornamental plants. The progress in inflorescence differentiation process in the chrysanthemum cultivar ‘Jingyun’ can be divided into nine stages. Following short day induction, it took 4d to reach the growing point hypertrophy stage, ...

1996. LIGNUM: a tree model based on simple structural units. Annals of Botany, volume 77, number 1, pages 87-98. The model LIGNUM treats a tree as a collection of a large number of simple units which correspond to the organs of the tree. The model describes the three dimensional structure of the tree crown and defines the growth in terms of the metabolism taking place in these units. The activi...
