Pediatric mandibular fractures have been successfully managed in various ways. The use of a lingual splint is an option. This article presents a 4-year old boy who was treated by an alternative conservative method with a combination of an arch bar plus a lingual splint, circum-mandibular wiring and IMF for the reduction, stabilization and fixation of a severely displaced bilateral man‌dibular b...

The idea of Fixation introduced a direct method for general recovery of shape and motion from images without using either feature correspondence or optical flow [1,2]. There are some parameters which have important effects on the performance of fixation method. However, the theory of fixation does not say anything about the autonomous and correct choice of those parameters. This paper presents ...

Abstract In agriculture, Bacillus species are efficient and ecologically tool for promote the growth of plant. Purpose: This study obtains plant growth-promoting (PGP) ability endophytic bacteria isolated from potato tubers. Methods: Using to growth, achieve purpose increasing production. this experiment, growth- promoting strain was verified by laboratory identification field test validation. ...

The effect of sodium chloride (NaCl)-salinity on growth responses and tissues organic solutes and mineral content was investigated in common bean plants inoculated with salttolerant Rhizobium tropici wild-type strain CIAT899 and four mutant derivatives having decreased salt-tolerance (DST). Under non-saline conditions two mutants formed partially effective (HB10, HB12) and another two almost in...

Diffusible iodine-based contrast-enhanced computed tomography presents a comparatively new tool kit for imaging fine-scale three-dimensional phenotypes that is rapidly becoming standard anatomical practice. However, relatively few studies have attempted to look at subtle differences in staining protocols or attempted to model tissue reactions to gain insight into staining mechanisms. Here, two ...

Given the limited resources of fossil energy, and the environmental risks of excess fertilizer on crops, it is time to reappraise the potential role of food legume biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) as sources of nitrogen for cropping systems in China. 150 soil samples across 17 provinces and 2 municipalities of China were collected and analyzed. A distribution map of the soil fertilities and t...

Nuclei from nearly ripe eggs of Rana pipiens were isolated and cleaned in 0.1 M KCl. The whole nucleus was then digested to various degrees with ribonuclease or trypsin, followed by washing and fixation in either osmium tetroxide or potassium permanganate. The nuclear envelope was dissected off, placed on a grid, air dried, and compared with undigested controls in the electron microscope. Some ...
