Knowledge of the Saxaul dimensions used in sand dunes stabilization is considered essential for designing live windbreak in desert regions. This research aimed to collect and analysis data and was performed on the pruned and control shrubs of Haloxylon aphyllum L. in Yazd province, Iran in the last two decades. Our review clearly showed the superiority of shrubs pruned at the height of 35 cm i...

A study was conducted on genetics of some important agronomic traits (number of productive tillers per hill, plant height (cm), panicle length (cm), number of spikelets per panicle and 100-grain weight) in rice during 2012-13. Two lines were crossed with five testers in line × tester fashion to produce 10 F1 hybrids. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotyp...

BACKGROUND A typical growth pattern with decreased pubertal growth spurt has been identified in patients with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of final height predictions in patients with CAH using the Bayley and Pinneau (B&P) method. PATIENTS AND METHODS Using growth and final height data of 92 patients (57 F/35 M) with CAH due to 21-hydrox...

Historically, wetlands along the St. Johns River, Florida, were dominated by herbaceous marshes. However, in the last 50 years many areas transformed to shrub-dominated wetlands, at the same time a system of levees and canals was constructed to control flooding. We tested the role of water management in controlling Carolina willow (Salix caroliniana), a native shrub that accounts for most of th...

BACKGROUND Records in Western countries reveal that adult height has been increasing over the last 250 years. These height gains have been biologically associated with healthier childhoods, less illness, and longer life spans-a health-risk transition. To measure such progress in Thailand we studied height change over the last 3 decades. METHODS We analyzed height records for 33 000 21-year-ol...

In this article weight, height, and circum­ference of chest and head of 251 new-born and neotes who were seen in the Paed,iatric Dept. of Djorjani Hospital, Tehran, and the report of this invesUgwtion is as follow:  1. Weight-3.98% of new-born were under normal range, and 64.93% were normal, and 31.07% were above normal. 2. Height -9.56% of new-born were be-low, 84.45% were normal and 5.9...

Abstract Background Evaluating blood pressure (BP) is one element for diagnosing and preventing disease in student populations. The objectives of this research were to (a) identify the range height measuring BP adjusted populations (b) propose percentiles evaluating based on height. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out with 3,013 students. Weight, height, diastolic (DBP) systolic (SB...
