BACKGROUND The purpose of our study was to study the relevance of a systematic aorto-femoral colour Doppler ultrasound (DUS) in the evaluation of first renal transplant receivers. METHODS We prospectively studied 100 consecutive first renal transplant (RT) receivers. All patients had a preoperative physical examination with a careful vascular system evaluation including assessment of risk fac...

In the pharmaceutical industry, a number of tests such as content uniformity and dissolution testing are usually performed at various stages of drug manufacturing process to ensure that the drug product meets standards for identity, strength, quality, purity, and stability of the drug product as specified in the United States Pharmacopedia and National Formulary (USP/NF). The USP/NF provides re...

Five planter configurations were evaluated for seed spacing uniformity at three field speeds using a seed location method in the field and a laboratory method involving an opto-electronic sensor system. Planter seed spacing uniformity was described using the Coefficient of Precision (CP3) measure. Results showed that CP3 measures determined using the laboratory test method were significantly di...

The cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum) holds great importance as a pulse crop in India. identification and classification of diverse genotypes are crucial for implementing effective strategies to improve this crop. This study was conducted get comprehensive morphological characterization desi using the DUS (Distinctness, Uniformity, Stability) descriptors suggested by Protection Plant Variet...

The enactment of Intellectual Property protection laws globally and involvement private seed industry in India had become indispensable for IP agriculture as whole plant varieties particular. For varieties, the Distinctiveness Uniformity Stability (DUS) descriptors various crops (vegetables, field crops, floriculture, horticulture etc.) were developed notified by Protection Plant Varieties Farm...

Random number generators are a small part of any computer simulation project. Yet they are the heart and the engine that drives the project. Often times software houses fail to understand the complexity involved in building a random number generator that will satisfy the project requirements and will be able to produce realistic results. Building a random number generator with a desirable perio...
