The inhibitory effects of the dormant spores, the germinating spores, the sporoderm-broken germinating spores (SBGS), and the lipids extracted from the germinating spores of Ganoderma lucidum on the growth of mouse hepatoma, sarcoma S-180, and reticulocyte sarcoma L-II cells were investigated, respectively. The dormant spores could be activated by germination, and thus the bioactivities of the ...

Moreover, the comparative study of prices in Egypt and even in parts of Egypt (a nome, a toparchy, a village) is rendered very difficult by many peculiar circumstances. This is true, for example, of the prices of such a basic commodity as grain. In the statistical lists compiled by modern scholars the price of grain is shown per artaba, as if the artaba were a constant measure. In fact, as has ...

  During fixation of a femoral neck fracture in a 23-year-old male patient with cannulated screws, a broken guide wire fragment inadvertently advanced through the hip joint and protruded into the pelvis. A second surgical approach was needed to remove the broken fragment from the pelvis. Awareness of such a potentially devastating complication will make surgeons more cautious during implementa...

This paper makes an account of the design and investigations done for the still image watermarking technique used in the 2nd edition of the BOWS challenge. This technique is named “broken arrows” for some reasons given later on, and abbreviated “BA.” This zero-bit algorithm is an implementation of a recent theoretical result by Merhav and Sabbag (2008) with precautions taken with respect to rob...

Recent indications of a neutrino mass raise the possibility that the dark matter may be hot, which would be a severe challenge for structure formation theory. We argue that generic defect theories fare very well in hot dark matter cosmologies, and also work in the presence of curvature or a cosmological constant. If this model is correct, then the MAP and PLANCK missions will not measure what p...

We extend the common theme of random Apollonian packing of circles to consider orientable grains with a noncircular shape. Systems of up to 10(6) grains are examined for a range of polygonal and elliptical shapes using both the random Apollonian packing model and the new rotational random Apollonian packing model which takes into account the extra rotational degree of freedom of noncircular gra...

the aim of the present study was to determine the appropriate standardized ileal digestible lysine requirement to 49 day of olds in male but,6 turkey poults. experiment 1 and 2 were used  from 8-28 and 28-49 d-old respectively. one hundred sixty male but,6 turkeys in each experiment were used in a completely randomized design with eight treatments (8 levels of standardized ileal digestible lysi...
