Anthropometry is the hallmark technique that deals with the study of body proportion and absolute dimensions that vary widely with age and sex within and between racial groups. Over the centuries, there have been remarkable changes in Anthropometric measurements due to geographical, cultural, genetic and environmental factors as well as worldwide mingling of races. The aim of this study was to ...

Pasteurella multocida is a pathogenic Gram-negative bacterium that has been classified into three subspecies, five capsular serogroups and 16 serotypes. P. multocida serogroup A isolates are bovine nasopharyngeal commensals, bovine pathogens and common isolates from bovine respiratory disease (BRD), both enzootic calf pneumonia of young dairy calves and shipping fever of weaned, stressed beef c...

As transistors scale, system temperatures are rising, and with them, cooling costs. Faced with such challenges, designers have developed a variety of techniques to reduce temperatures at design-time, through floorplanning, and at run-time, using dynamic thermal management. Multi-core floorplanning, in particular, presents unique opportunities for temperature management: for example, cores can b...

OBJECTIVE To determine the problems faced by thalassemic patients in their personal, psychological and social life. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional multi-centre survey. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Karachi, Lahore and Quetta Centres of Fatimid Foundation, from October 2009 to October 2010. METHODOLOGY An indigenously developed Qualifty of Life (QoL) questionnaire modified from SF-36 questio...

Formation and function of the A/P compartment boundary of the Drosophila wing have been studied intensely. The boundary prevents mingling of A and P cells, is characterized by an expression discontinuity of several genes like engrailed, Cubitus interruptus, hedgehog and decapentaplegic and is essential for patterning the wing. Compared with segmental or compartmental boundaries in several other...

Bovine viral diarrhea- and Border disease viruses of sheep belong to the highly diverse genus pestivirus of the Flaviviridae. Ruminant pestiviruses may infect a wide range of domestic and wild cloven-hooved mammals (artiodactyla). Due to its economic importance, programs to eradicate bovine viral diarrhea are a high priority in the cattle industry. By contrast, Border disease is not a target of...

We have previously demonstrated that inactivation of the Krox20 gene led to the disappearance of its segmental expression territories in the hindbrain, the rhombomeres (r) 3 and 5. We now performed a detailed analysis of the fate of prospective r3 and r5 cells in Krox20 mutant embryos. Genetic fate mapping indicates that at least some of these cells persist in the absence of a functional Krox20...

Palaeoproterozoic high-K I-type granites, high-level porphyry intrusions, and felsic volcanic rocks of the Whitewater Volcanics dominate the Hooper and Lamboo Complexes in the Kimberley region of northwestern Australia. The granites, porphyries and volcanic rocks are gradational into each other in the field, and they have the same mineralogy, similar major and trace element abundances, and indi...

This article presents a theological–literary response to concern in contemporary theory with heeding and articulating the speech of nonhuman things. Drawing from Rowan Williams’ metaphysics poetic addition, I argue that an ‘ecotheological’ literary practice challenges us become attentive responsive language nonhuman, by creatively performing co-mingling human language. Jean-Louis Chrétien’s phe...

Centimeter-scale magmatic enclaves are abundant in peralkaline felsic volcanic rocks the Sanshui Basin. Their lithology is mainly syenite and syenitic porphyry, they comprise alkali feldspar amphibole, which similar to mineral assemblage of host trachyte comendite. The SiO2 content ~63 wt%, that but lower than Thermobarometric calculations showed crystallized at temperature pressure conditions ...
