Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.R. Br., Poaceae) has its origins as a cereal crop adapted to the harshest growing conditions in sub-Saharan Africa. Although currently used as a forage and cover crop in many regions of the US, Brazil, Australia, and Canada, grain hybrids have attributes that are of value in production systems of the southeastern United States. Successful integration of pearl ...

In this article, the effect of potassium on structure and anticorrosion properties of zinc phosphate pigments has been investigated. The co-precipitation method was selected as synthesis method of potassium zinc phosphate pigment. Then the synthesized pigment was characterized by x-ray diffraction XRD, Fourier transform infrared FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. Morphology of the powders was investi...

Introduction: Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder (AGB) is a relatively common disease. AGB is defined as epithelial proliferation and hypertrophy of the muscularis of the gallbladder with outpouching of the mucosa into the thickened muscular layer ( RAS; Rokitansky-Aschoff sinus). It is known that AGB is classified into three different morphological types including diffuse , segmental, and fund...

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) lying along the vertical meridian of the eyes of wild-type (+/+) and pearl mutant (pe/pe) mice was examined with electron microscopy and microspectrophotometry in order to compare differences in melanosome location, size, numerical density, volume density, and melanin concentration. In +/+ mice the fraction of melanosomes that lie in the apical processes was...
