Abstract The strawberry growth and fruit yield of five Korean cultivars in the tunnel-type greenhouse predicted using their growth. number leaves, petiole length, leaf length width, crown diameter, ratio red far-red (RFR) were measured during cultivation period. leaves all exhibited a similar trend this period; plant ‘Maehyang’ longest, trends except for ‘Jukhyang’, width ‘Arihyang’, was diamet...

allometric growth pattern and body shape changes of the green terror (andinoacara rivulatus)(cichlidae) were studied using landmark-based geometric morphometric (gm) and traditional methods, from hatching up to 1266 hours post hatching (hph) under culture conditions. the left side of specimens were photographed using digital camera and morphometric characters, including total length, head lengt...

background and aim: it is well - known that sex hormones regulate bone metabolism. sex steroids increase osteoblasts activities and affect growth, remodeling and bone homeostasis. the aim of this study was to examine the effects of sex hormones deficiency on craniofacial growth in rats. methods & materials: fifty, thirty–day–old wistar rats comprised the sample in this experimental study. 25 ma...

The effects of anisotropy during mixed mode fatigue crack growth were studied in single crystal 316L stainless steel. An anisotropic least-squares regression algorithm using displacements from digital image correlation was developed to find the effective stress intensity factors, KI and KII, and the T-stress. Crack tip plastic zones were determined using an anisotropic yield criterion. Strains ...

a larger proportion of energy intake for reproduction and also low food availability maydecrease the growth rate of other organs during the late stage of the gonadal development. themain goal of this study is to examine the biological characteristics and organs growth pattern inclupeonella cultriventris during the late stages of gonad development. samples were collectedby capturing 300-350 kilk...

We investigated population responses in physiology, morphology, and growth of mature Pinus ponderosa trees to an environmental gradient across Nebraska, USA. Ten populations from western Nebraska and eastern Wyoming were grown in three 26-year-old provenance tests from the warmest and wettest site in the east (Plattsmouth) to the intermediate site in the middle (Halsey) to the coldest and dries...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of bimatoprost 0.03% single treatment for 3 years on intraocular pressure (IOP) and visual field performance. METHODS We monitored the IOP of 62 patients with normal-tension glaucoma every 1-3 months. The Humphrey visual field test was performed every 6 months after treatment and the results obtained were compared to those before treatment. In addition, visual ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of topical nipradilol monotherapy for 5 years on intraocular pressure, visual field performance, and optic disk topography. METHODS Thirty patients with normal tension glaucoma were monitored for intraocular pressure every 1-3 months. A Humphrey visual field test and measurement of optic disk configuration using the Heidelberg r...
