Tanytrachelos ahynis (n.gen., n. sp.) is a lepidosaur from the Late Triassic Dan River Group (Newark Supergroup) of North Carolina and Virginia. The new reptile has gracile proportions similar to Tanystropheus (Middle Triassic) and is referred to the family Tanystropheidae of the suborder Prolacertiformes. Unlike Tanystropheus, Tanytrachelos has relatively short cervical vertebrae bearing splin...

the composition of the essential oil from the stalks and flowers of rheum ribes l., growing in iran, were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gc-ms. thirty constituents representing 93.84% of rheum oil were identified.  the oil was found to be rich in hydrocarbons especially long-chain n-alkanes (80.81%). the most abundant components in the oil included tricosane (26.29%), heneicosan...

In this paper, we propose a model of schema versions for object-oriented databases called RIBS. At the heart of this model is the concept of the rich base schema called (RiBS). In our model, each schema version is in the form of a class hierarchy view over one base schema, called RIBS, which has richer schema information than any existing schema version in the database. Users are supposed to be...

Ribs in aircraft wings maintain the airfoil shape of wing under aerodynamic loads and also support resulting bending shear that act on wing. Aircrafts are designed for least weight hence made hollow torsion box ribs with cut-outs to reduce structure. These will lead higher stresses stress concentration can failure structures. The depend thus present work, commercial software ANSYS was used eval...

BACKGROUND Da Huang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) is the dried root or rhizome of Rheum palmatum L., Rheum tanguticum Maxim ex Balf. or Rheum officinale Braill of family Polygonaceae. It has heat clearing, damp drying, fire purging and toxin removing effects. Because of its definite curative efficacy, it has been widely applied in clinical settings. OBJECTIVE To study the inhibitory effect of emodi...

Twelve clinical trials have documented that prednisone or prednisolone in doses of 10 mg/day or less is efficacious to improve function, maintain status and/or slow radiographic progression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). An early trial reported by de Andrade et al. [Ann Rheum Dis 1964; 23: 158–162] in 1964 indicated that 5 mg of prednisolone at night was preferred to 5 mg of predni...
