distribution of water vapor in the atmosphere of the room poultry houses is usually an effective and economical solution to reduce heat stress of the chickens. experimental studies were conducted in a small saloon located in the farm machinery department of shiraz university. the rotary cup fogging system consisted of a cup which was derived by dc motor. rotational speed of the cup caused the w...

BACKGROUND Although previous studies have demonstrated beneficial breastfeeding outcomes when cup feeding rather than bottle feeding was used for feeding preterm infants, cup feeding has not been implemented in Egypt. The aim of the current study was to examine the effect of using cup feeding as an exclusive method of feeding preterm infants during hospitalization on breastfeeding outcomes afte...

PURPOSE The aim of this prospective study is to validate a vector arithmetic method for measuring acetabular cup orientation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and to verify the clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS We measured cup anteversion and inclination of 123 patients after cementless primary THA twice by two examiners on AP pelvic radiographs with a vector arithmetic method and com...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effects of thymus vulgaris, thymus caramanicus, zataria multiflora, ziziphora clinopodioides and ziziphora tenuior against four foodborne and four other bacteria including staphylococcus aureus, shigella dysenteriae, salmonella typhimurium, escherichia coli, staphylococcus epidermidis, bacillus subtilis, mrsa and pseudomona aeruginosa and ...

Revision total hip arthroplasty with massive bone loss and pelivic discontinuity has no standardized treatment up until now. This report presents a case of a female patient with a diagnosed pelvic discontinuity 4 years after the previous hip arthroplasty. The patient is suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, and was admitted to hospital treatment for hip pain, leg shortening, limitated range of m...

The charge collection characteristics of a parallel-plate transmission air ion chamber have been measured for 0.2-/isec pulses of 25 MeV electrons over a range of 3 initial charge densities from 0.6 to 430 esu/cm . Plate spacings of 0.07, 0.40 and 0.73 cm were used with E/p values of 1 and 6; 1, 3 and 6; and 1 and 3 V/cm-mmHg, respectively. Electron beam monitoring was done with a graphite Fara...

We present here a combinatorial method for computing cup-i products and Steenrod squares of a simplicial set X. This method is essentially based on the determination of explicit formulae for the component morphisms of a higher diagonal approximation (i.e., a family of morphisms measuring the lack of commutativity of the cup product on the cochain level) in terms of face operators of X. A genera...

Aim: To explore an accurate method to calculate acetabular cup anteversion after total hip arthroplasty. Method: 1) A 3D coordinate system was established with the center of the hip joint rotation center base as coordinate center. The acetabular exit plane and Pettersson formula acetabular anteversion and Riten Pradhan formula acetabular anteversion and acetabular true anteversion were drawn; 2...

The zebrafish mutation curly up (cup) affects the zebrafish ortholog of polycystic kidney disease 2, a gene that encodes the Ca(2+)-activated non-specific cation channel, Polycystin 2. We have characterized two alleles of cup, both of which display defects in organ positioning that resemble human heterotaxia, as well as abnormalities in asymmetric gene expression in the lateral plate mesoderm (...
