We prove that every continuum of weight ℵ 1 is a continuous image of thě Cech-Stone-remainder R * of the real line. It follows that under CH the remainder of the half line [0, ∞) is universal among the continua of weight c — universal in the 'mapping onto' sense. We complement this result by showing that 1) under MA every continuum of weight less than c is a continuous image of R * , 2) in the ...

If the absolute number of poor people goes up, but the fraction of people in poverty comes down, has poverty gone up or gone down? The economist’s instinct, framed by population replication axioms that undergird standard measures of poverty, is to say that in this case poverty has gone down. But this goes against the instinct of those who work directly with the poor, for whom the absolute numbe...

PURPOSE To retrospectively assess the clinical utility in ureteroscopy (URS) planning of cumulative stone diameter (CSD), which does not account for stone width or depth, as a predictor of URS outcome and compare it with stone volume. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with renal stones treated at a single institute by flexible URS were retrospectively evaluated. To assess the clinical utility of...

Strength is a fundamental quality necessary in achieving optimal physical function and is defined as the ability to produce more force.(Siff M; Stone MH et al., 1993). Thus the display of strength has characteristics which include a magnitude, rate and direction. The force production can be measured by isotonic, isometric or isokinetic methods. The isotonic techniques require lifting a particul...

The ethanolic extract of roots of Saccharum spontaneum Linn. was evaluated for its antilithiatic activity in rats. Lithiasis was induced by oral administration of ethylene glycolated water (0.75%) in adult male wistar albino rats for 28 days. The ionic chemistry of urine was altered by ethylene glycol (EG), which elevated the urinary concentration of crucial ions, viz. calcium, phosphorus and p...

asked to clear the mouth. This was followed by a marked improvement, the thyroid became almost normal in size, the tachycardia quieted down and she gained a stone in weight. Six months later she returned to out-patients, and was just as bad as she was when first seen. Graves' disease is one of those conditions which may have marked remissions, and very often a remission has been taken to be the...

Let B(κ, λ) be the subalgebra of P(κ) generated by [κ]. It is shown that if B is any homomorphic image of B(κ, λ) then either |B| < 2 or |B| = |B|, moreover if X is the Stone space of B then either |X| ≤ 2 λ or |X| = |B| = |B|. This implies the existence of 0-dimensional compact T2 spaces whose cardinality and weight spectra omit lots of singular cardinals of “small” cofinality.

Among subtropical fruits Ber (Zizyphus mauritiana L.) one of the most common fruit crop, grown under neglected soil types. It is a drought hardy and can grow hazardous conditions soil, water climate thus it has rightly been recommended for arid desert area India [1]. found growing wild as well in cultivated forms throughout warmer regions up to an altitude 1500 metres above Mean Sea Level. The ...
