The objective of this study was to investigate field trends in agronomic characters of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) performance trials. Field experiments were arranged as lattice designs, and for each plot within an experiment, an environmental covariate representing the spatial trend was calculated using neighbour analysis. Correlations between environmental covariates of different charact...

There is a growing concern that short-term exposure to combustion-related air pollution is associated with increased risk of death. This finding is based largely on time-series studies that estimate associations between daily variations in ambient air pollution concentrations and in the number of nonaccidental deaths within a community. Because these results are not based on cohort or dynamic p...

abstract different responses of silkworm larvae under various rearing climate condition would help to obtain better economic performance of some silkworm varities in specific climate conditions. the effect of 4 rearing climate conditions including 1) standard 2) high temperature and humidity, 3) high temperature and low humidity and 4) temperature fluctuation were investigated on the performanc...

BACKGROUND Stunting among children under five years old is associated with long-term effects on cognitive development, school achievement, economic productivity in adulthood and maternal reproductive outcomes. Accurate estimation of stunting and tools to forecast risk are key to planning interventions. We estimated the prevalence and distribution of stunting among children under five years in S...
