Ennis demonstrated a foramen located superior to the genial tubercles in1937, while Novitsky reported a foramen inferior to the genial tubercles in 1938. Suzuki & Sakai in 1957 mentioned that the bony canals of these foramina coursed perpendicular to the inner surface of mandible1. Midline foramina and lateral foramina were described .Terminology of foramina was differently used by various auth...

For example, Venice and Amsterdam are cities often characterized by references to the network of canals that criss-crosses them. While there are shops or post offices in these cities, the canals set them apart from their European peers. Given that it is possible for humans to effectively and evocatively characterize regions we can ask what the properties of such descriptions are, and can they b...

Anopheles arabiensis breeding was studied during March 1999-June 2000 in New Halfa town. Of 3642 anopheline larvae collected, 3633 (99.75%) were A. arabiensis: 82.49%, 11.56%, 3.08% and 2.88% of the larvae were collected from shallow sunlit pools resulting from pipes leakages, rain pools, irrigation canals and man-made pools respectively. The overall mean density was 24.34 larvae/10 dips: 40.73...

The cartilaginous and non-neopterygian bony fishes have an electric sense typically comprised of hundreds or thousands of sensory canals distributed in broad clusters over the head. This morphology facilitates neural encoding of local electric field intensity, orientation, and polarity, used for determining the position of nearby prey. The coelacanth rostral organ electric sense, however, is un...

Fractional-order differentiation offers new degrees of freedom that simplify the design of high-performance dynamic controllers. The CRONE control system design (CSD) methodology proposes the design of robust controllers by using fractional-order operators. A software toolbox has been developed based on this methodology and is freely available for the international scientific and industrial com...

The Shodagor of Matlab, Bangladesh, are a seminomadic community of people who live and work on small wooden boats, within the extensive system of rivers and canals that traverse the country. This unique ecology places particular constraints on family and economic life and leads to Shodagor parents employing one of four distinct strategies to balance childcare and provisioning needs. The purpose...
