The radiograph on this issue’s front cover demonstrates a normal image of the abdomen. It is a favourite of mine and one that I use routinely in teaching undergraduate medical students. Take a good look. You may notice a curvilinear gas density projected within the pelvis. See it? This is what a tampon looks like (figure 1). It’s a subtle finding, but once seen, the radiographic configuration i...

Let M and N be non-zero finitely generated modules over a local (Noetherian) ring (R,m). Assume that TorRi (M,N) = 0 for i >> 0, and let q = qR(M,N) be the largest integer i for which TorRi (M,N) 6= 0. For the case q = 0, Auslander [A, Theorem 1.2] found a useful formula relating the depths of M , N and R. In view of the Auslander-Buchsbaum formula [BH,Thm. 1.3.3] Auslander’s theorem goes as fo...

The use of the creatine kinase-luciferase (CK-L) coupled reaction for porcine blood CK determination was studied. Adenosine triphosphate produced by CK is reacted with firefly L light-producing system. The method permits determination of CK in blood as opposed to traditional methods which require plasma or serum. The luciferase procedure was applied to nine barrows each of purebred Pietrain and...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of black plastic mulch on yield and other associated characters promising tomato genotypes developed by National Horticulture Research Centre, Nepal at Directorate Agricultural Research, Tarahara, Nepal, during winter season 2019. Nine (HRDTOM 011, HRD 109, HRDTOM 035, 080, 079, 084, 085, 086, Pusa Ruby as a check) were evaluated in randomized ...

The study on physiochemical factors and primary production of the aquatic ecosystems is important to know the characteristic of environment and capacity of recharge. Mahshahr creeks are the most important creeks in Khuzestan, Iran. In this study, variations in physiochemical factors, chl-a and primary production in 3 regions (Mahshahr, Zangi, and Moussa entrance creeks) were evaluated in 2 mont...

this study is an attempt to develop an integrated methodology to predict the impact of the caspian sea on flooding using geographic information systems (gis) and hydrodynamic modeling. a rise in the sea level might lead to major flooding events, and have a severe impact on the spatial development of cities and regions. the feasibility of simulating a flood event along a drain channel is evaluat...

Abstract Objective: To determine if an 8-week HIIT exercise intervention would improve VO2max and cognitive function in older sedentary women. Method: Eleven women between the ages of 60 75 participated intervention. At baseline, participants were administered a test neuropsychological battery, which assessed both global functioning as well specific domains processing speed, visual memory, atte...
