Commensal associations between Guiana dolphins Sotalia guianensis and sea birds, Larus dominicanus, Sula leucogaster, Sterna sp. and Fregata magnificens have been frequently observed during the feeding behavior of the dolphins in the North Bay of Santa Catarina, (26°00’-28°25’S, 48°30’-48°49’W), Southern Brazil. Boat and land surveys were performed, using focal group sampling method, in blocks ...

The experiment was conducted in the tissue culture laboratory of Plant Production Department - Al-Mussaib Technical College Al Furat Awsat University for period from (1-11-2021 to 1-2-2022). In order study effect growth regulators BA at concentrations (0-0.5-1-1.5-2) mg/L and combination with 2,4-D on induction callus resulting plant parts (Apical Tips new shoots) taken Moringa oleifera L.) inv...

BACKGROUND Parecoxib sodium is the first parenteral COX-2 inhibitor used for pain management licensed for postoperative pain. However, no study has assessed the usage of parecoxib for acute traumatic pain in the emergency department (ED). The objective of this study was to investigate a potential alternative analgesic agent in the ED by determining the mean reduction of pain score between acute...

We are using a Hercules (model #F4-4R, 100 psi) pressure sensor to measure the pressure between the foot and shoe. An interface circuit converts the capacitance change into voltage. Over the pressure range from 0 to 1300 kPa, the capacitance changes from 275 to 580 pF. A 555 timer circuit converts the capacitance into a frequency range from 30 to 63 kHz. A phase-locked loop (PLL) converts this ...

The reticular motility in 144 cattle with vagal indigestion was evaluated by ultrasonography; 97 had proximal functional stenosis (reticulo-omasal stenosis) and 47 had distal functional stenosis (pyloric stenosis). A 3.5 MHz linear transducer was used to measure the frequency, amplitude, duration and speed of the reticular contractions per three minutes while the animals were standing and unsed...

introduction: effect of tripolar tens of vertebral column on slow and fast motoneurons (mns) activity of soleus muscle was previously investigated. in this study for better differentiation of the behavior of slow and fast mns, we exploited h-reflex recovery curve recording in two muscles of soleus and lateral gastrocnemius, respectively as the representatives of slow and fast muscles. methods: ...

This study proposed a mathematical model which was used to predict the temperature and moisture content of Ganoderma lucidum (Ganoderma boninense) during radio frequency (RF) assisted heat pump (HP) drying process. The simultaneous mass transfer equations were established based on physical flat plate models for specific assumptions problem. finite difference method solve problem, in which, pdep...

In a previous report (1) it was shown that in guinea pig taenia coli hypertonically added 40 mm K induced a large tension and that both tissue Ca and "Ca uptake of the muscle measured after a 4 minutes wash increased, while in 152 mm K/0 mm Na medium only a small tension remained and '5Ca uptake did not increase while tissue Ca decreased . It has also been shown that the tonic response in hyper...
