This study presents another approach to the use of laterite as a common construction material for development new type concrete. Laterites are found all over world and used in various ways road sub-base, base course or wear courses. Being consisting raw state sand gravel, addresses its formulation structural The physical characterization made it possible identify three granular classes distribu...

INTRODUCTION Phyllodes tumors account for less than 1% of breast tumors in women, and giant phyllodes tumors are those that are larger than 10 cm in diameter. Removal of such large tumors places a huge burden on the surgeon to reconstruct a breast that is aesthetically acceptable by the patient. We report what may be the largest giant phyllodes tumor and, most likely, the first latissimus dorsi...

Methods: Neonatal rats (n = 5, 7-28 days old) were anesthetized by -chloralose and fixed to a specifically designed holder. The volume of interest (3 x 2 x 4 mm) was centered in the left hippocampus. H NMR spectra were measured at 400 MHz (9.4T) on a Varian/Magnex spectrometer using an ultra-short echo-time STEAM sequence (TE = 2 ms) with VAPOR water suppression and outer volume saturation [5]....

Abstract Increased resistance of pathogenic bacteria due to the use antibiotics has become a major concern in aquaculture industry. Environmentally friendly products are urgently needed replace for treatments fish diseases. This study aims determine activity extract Jeringau ( Acorus calamus ) as an antibacterial towards Aeromonas hydrophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Vibrio alginolyticus . Th...

We investigated the effect of a small bellows leak (bellows full at end-expiration) on inspired oxygen fraction (Fio(2)), exhaled tidal volume (Vt), airway pressure, and room contamination in an oxygen-driven anesthesia ventilator (Ohmeda 7810, Madison, WI). CO(2) concentration at the ventilator exhalation valve, Fio(2), Vt, and airway pressure were measured (n = 3) while ventilating a CO(2)-pr...

*Dept. of Medicine, TN Medical College & BYL Nair Ch. Hospital, Mumbai 400 008. L was a Dutch storekeeper and part-time janitor in Delft. he was little educated, but his business and his job kept him comfortably off and he lived only for his hobby, grinding of lenses. He made lens after lens and was determined to make as perfect a lens as possible. These lenses were small, scarcely about 3-4 mm...

We describe a Ti:sapphire-pumped picosecond optical parametric oscillator based on periodically poled RbTiOAsO(4) that is broadly tunable in the near to mid infrared. A 4.5-mm single-grating crystal at room temperature in combination with pump wavelength tuning provided access to a continuous-tuning range from 3.35 to 5microm , and a pump power threshold of 90 mW was measured. Average mid-infra...

Routine blood tests revealed a hemoglobin concentration of 11 g/dL, hematocrit of 36%, and an erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 40 mm/h. Analysis of tumor markers revealed the following: carcinoembryonic antigen, 142 ng/mL (normal range, <5.0 ng/mL); cancer antigen 19.9, 18 400 U/mL (normal range, <37 U/mL); and cancer antigen 125, 115 U/mL (normal range, <35 U/mL). Esophagogastroscopy revealed...
