During the entire periodof follow-up at our center, she required 20 to 30mg daily of oral prednisone. Neurological examination prior to the onset of HiCy therapy revealed symmetrically reduced arm abduction (4−/5) and hip flexion strength ...

Although the rice growth response to FACE (free-air CO2 enrichment) has been widely studied and is considered important within the scientific community, few studies have attempted to examine the effects of FACE on the yield of indica rice, which is typically the parent of indica hybrids in China. The effects of FACE on the yield, yield components, biomass, N uptake and leaf photosynthesis of Ya...

Accurate estimation of sink capacity in rice (grain number × potential grain size), independent filling, is necessary for considering source – interactions. However, how to measure size still a matter debate. Here, we investigated the effect modifying grain-filling environment on 1000-grain weight grains screened by specific gravity or brown thickness, projected area (‘grain area’), husk as can...

Peduncle saddle pack tag A padded harness will fit around the tail stock of the whale at the narrowest portion of the peduncle just before the fluke insertion point. To deploy the belt, a cantilevered pole mounted on the bow of a small inflatable will drop a spring loaded armature on the caudal terminus of the whale (Figure 1). Once triggered, the armature’s sickle shaped arms will close, latch...

Alpha-herpesviruses, including human herpes simplex virus 1 & 2, varicella zoster virus and the swine pseudorabies virus (PRV), infect the peripheral nervous system of their hosts. Symptoms of infection often include itching, numbness, or pain indicative of altered neurological function. To determine if there is an in vitro electrophysiological correlate to these characteristic in vivo symptoms...

This study was designed to analyze the external morphometric characteristics of Labeoboga from Head Panjnad, Alipur, Punjab, Pakistan. About 48 specimens were collected and examined address growth patterns species under for first time, together with their analysis morphological characters. The present results length-weight relationship revealed that value regression coefficient ‘b’ <3.0 accordi...
