Soil moisture is one of the major factors that determines volatilization urea. In this study, we investigated effect soil on urea from an Alfisol (Reddish Brown Earth soil). A bulk sample was collected research field Faculty Agriculture, Rajarata University Sri Lanka. pot experiment arranged under completely randomized design with four replicates per treatment. levels were maintained at 0 kPa (...

objective(s)this study was designed to evaluate the effect of ramadan fasting on body composition, aerobic and anaerobic power, strength, plasma lipids profile and serum glucose among collegiate wrestlers.materials and methods fourteen male collegiate wrestlers (age, 20.12±2.5 yrs) volunteered as subjects for the study. subjects were tested one week before the beginning of ramadan, the last two...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is a disease of the immune system that creates damage of learning and memory in that. using probiotic supplements is recommended for preventing ms disease and improving memory. this study aimed to investigate the effect of lactobacillus plantarum (lp) and bifidobacterium b94 (bb94), on acquisition phase of spatial memory in the local demyelination of rats` hi...

background and objective: the present study investigated executive functions in students with high functioning autism (hfa) and students with educable down syndrome (ds) with normal healthy students.     methods: fifteen boy students with hfa, 15 boy students with educable intellectual disability and 15 normal healthy boy students (aged between¬ 7-15 years) were recruited from educational servi...

This study evaluated the mechanical strength correlated to percentage of total volume weld and porosities Co-Cr alloy joints welded with TIG technique. Thirty specimens were perpendicularly sectioned long-axis rejoined by using X30-shaped joint design welding. They divided into 3 groups (n=10): CG1 a 60-A depth 90-ms pulse; CG2 120-ms pulse CG3 160-ms pulse. The submitted nondestructive tests: ...

Using Tukey-Kramer versus the ANOVA F-test as the omnibus test of the Hayter-Fisher procedure for comparing all pairs of normally distributed means, when sample sizes are unequal, is investigated. Simulation results suggest that using Tukey-Kramer leads to as much or more any-pairs power compared to using the F-test for certain patterns of mean differences, and equivalent per-pair and all-pairs...

PURPOSE To determine gender differences in lower-extremity joint kinematics and kinetics between age- and skill-matched recreational athletes. METHODS Inverse dynamic solutions estimated the lower-extremity flexion-extension and varus-valgus kinematics and kinetics for 15 females and 15 males performing a 60-cm drop landing. A mixed model, repeated measures analysis of variance (gender (*) jo...
