This study was carried out in a completely randomized design 3×3×4 factorial arrangement in three periods of rearing in spring 1997. Density of 300 larvae was assigned for each oval tank with 0.1m2 surface area, 30cm deep, a volume of 20lit and 0.25 lit/min of water flow per minute at Shahid Rajaie fish breeding and culture center in Sari, north of Iran. The fries were divided into three groups...

OBJECTIVES Mechanical ventilation tidal volumes are usually set according to an estimate of patient size in millilitres (ml) per kilogram (kg) body weight. We describe the relationship between donor-recipient lung-size mismatch and postoperative mechanical ventilation tidal volumes according to recipient- and donor-predicted body weights in a cohort of bilateral lung transplant patients. METH...

the current study was conducted to investigate the effect of short-term selection in japanese quail for its 4-week body and breast weights. two selected lines, one for selection of body weight based upon in. breeding values (line 1) and another for breast weight based on between family selections (line 2) were randomly selected from a base population. in each generation, 39 sire and 78 dam-bird...
