We obtain the exact analytic form of the growth index at present epoch (a = 1) in a flat universe with the cosmological constant (i.e. the dark energy with its equation of state ωde = −1). For the cosmological constant, we obtain the exact value of the current growth index parameter γ = 0.5547, which is very close to the well known value 6/11. We also obtain the exact analytic solution of the g...

We obtain the exact analytic form of growth index (f = Ωm(a) ) at present epoch in a flat universe with including the constant equation of state of dark energy (ωde). For the cosmological constant (ωde = −1) we obtain γ = 0.5547 which is very close to the well known value 6/11. However, if ωde = −0.9, then γ gives rise to 0.6405. Ω 0 m dependence of γ is fairly small for the viable range of the...

Concentrations of chorionic somatomammotrophin (hCS) in maternal plasma at the time of delivery and in placental extracts were determined by radioimmunoassay and related to neonatal growth in 111 normal pregnancies. Mean maternal plasma hCS concentration was lower in association with small-for-dates infants, defined by either height or weight, than with well-grown preterm or term infants. Mean ...

this study aims to evaluate the link between economic growth and consumer price index (cpi) in japan for the period of 1980-2014. initial series were adjusted for stationarity using the augmented dickey- fuller (adf) test for unit root followed by the application of johansen co-integration test in order to examine the long-run relationship among the variables, while the causalities were evaluat...

in order to study of yield, growth index and physiological traits in spring sugar beet genotypes with delayed planting date, a field experiment was carried out in chenaran in khorasan razavi province in the east of iran in 2008 cropping season. for this experiment a complete randomized block design with 4 replications and 6 treatments was used. the experimental treatments were six improved vari...

rohrer's ponderal index in newborns (birth weight * 100/height3) has been used as an indicator of fetal growth status, especially to assess asymmetrical intrauterine growth retardation. low ponderal index or disproportionate intrauterine growth retardation has higher neonatal morbidity and there are some specific guidelines in intrauterine growth retarded infants to control some of their p...

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different proportions of marshmallow extract (Althaea officinalis L.) on growth performance and carcass composition of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Methods: Common carp with an average weight of 37.65 ± 4.40 g were fed for two months with a diet supplemented with marshmallow (A. officinalis) ext...

in order to investigate the effects of foliar application with plant growth promoters on morphological characteristics of maize (single-cross 704), an experiment with three replications and sixteen treatments conducted with priming and spraying of growth promoters (organser, mas-raiz, dulzee and control)  as factorial based on complete randomized block design. analysis of variance showed that t...

introduction salinity has various effects on plant growth by affecting physiological processes. the decline in plant productivity under saline condition, frequently linked with the reduction of photosynthetic capability. it has been reported that efficiency of psii photochemistry (fv/fm) of numerous plant species have been decreased due to salt stress studies have shown that salicylic acid (sa...

In this paper, the authors present new indices for estimating technical change, return to scale, and TFP growth, as well as its decomposition. These indices, Modified General Index (MGI), Generalized Modified General Index (GMGI), and General Time Trend index (GTTI), are generalization of General Index approaches. These approaches were used for productivity decomposition of Iran's barely produc...
