OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To better understand the reason for the low success rate of posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA) muscle reinnervation, we attempted to identify the communicating branches that may exist between the nerve branch to the PCA muscle and the other laryngeal adductors in addition to the interarytenoid (IA) muscle. STUDY DESIGN Quantitative histological assessment. METHODS Twenty h...

Functional alterations in arterial acidic glycosaminoglycans (AGAG) may be related to the pathogenesis of some forms of cerebrovascular disease. We measured the AGAG, lipid and water content of human cerebral artery of 275 normal males at various ages. These measures were separately carried out in the main trunk and distal branches. The AGAG components were analyzed by an enzymatic assay method...

in this regard, the morphophysiologic and anatomic characteristics of six olive cultivars (nabali, feshomi, arbequin, zard, gordal and roghani) were investigated under drought. experiments were designed based on factorial and complete block random plot with two control treatments, -1.5 mpa stress and three replicates. the investigated factors were as follows: leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity, relationship between morphological, agronomic and qualitative traits and to identify components of forage yield using some multivariate statistical methods in local sainfoin populations. the experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications in agricultural and natural resources research center...

applying a suitable tillage method is vital to chickpea production in dryland conditions. hence, eight tillage methods were studied using strip plots in a randomized complete block design with three replications over three years at the dryland agricultural research institute in maragheh, iran. the amount of rainfall in the three years of the study were 202, 264 and 203 mm, respectively, which w...

Abstract The Fairlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) family has been investigated in detail for various continuous marginals such as Cauchy, normal, exponential, gamma, Weibull, lognormal and others. It has been a popular model for the bivariate distribution with mild dependence. However, bivariate FGM’s with continuous marginals on a bounded support discussed in the literature are only those with uni...

[ASSIVE occlusion of the main pulmonary artery and its primary branches is believed seldom compatible with prolonged survival. However, a number of reports exist indicating a duration of from several months to several years. No documented cases were found to compare, either in length of life after the episode or in degree of pulmonary artery occlusion, with our patient who survived about 6 year...

The present investigation was carried out in the two consecutive years i.e. 2011-12 and 2012-13 at Main Experiment Station, Department of Horticulture, NDUA&T, Faizabad, (U.P.). The experiment was conducted in RBD replicated four times with twelve treatments. The treatments involved in the study were 12 in numbers i.e. FYM in six different doses (0, 05,10,15,20 and 25 t/ha) and nitrogen through...
