Objective: It is particularly difficult to determine the level of radiculopathy pain. Because radicular pain usually doesn't fit dermatomal map. unlike foramen lumbar vertebrae, where cervical nerve root exerted, it has a slope approximately 45 degrees vertebrae in axical plane and 10-15 horizontal plane. Due this structure foremen, evaluation conventional ct results incorrect or incomplete dia...

The principal aim of this paper is to demonstrate how the coordinate-free methods of linear statistical models may be adapted to the analysis of econometric models, and to explain why such methods are useful for teaching purposes. The application of coordinate-free methods to linear statistical models cast in Euclidean space was first introduced by Kruskal(1961). Later, the methodology was exte...

Recently developed methods for analyzing mark–recapture data allow simultaneous modeling of information from a variety of animal encounters. Incorporating this extra information in an analysis requires use of a more complicated model but can lead to improved precision of estimates. An important aspect of such joint models is that movement of animals to and from the banding site can be incorpora...

sphecidae is a large and important family of hymenoptera. all members of this family are presocial predators of other arthropods and play a role in the control of pest complex. in this study, sphecids were collected from east azerbaijan province using sweep net, malaise traps and yellow pan traps. twenty species of the family sphecidae (hymenoptera), belonging to subfamilies pemphredoninae, ast...

NISSI BAY, CYPRUS--For the operator of the bungee jump here at the Olympic Lagoon Resort, it is a strange request. The Cypriot Department of Antiquities wants him to give a ride to a visiting American academic. A tall man in khaki trousers, Albert Ammerman steps over the coiled bungee cord and joins the operator in the metal cage. The crane hoists them 60 meters over the bay--the point at which...

Both stocking rate and housing systems are main factors influencing the occurrence of feather pecking in laying hens raised in conventional cage system. This study examines the effects of different type of cage and stock density on feather pecking behaviour in hens. Total of 216 Hisex Brown hens at 16 weeks of age were randomly selected and put into 2 types of battery cages: conventional cages ...

the interaction of a nitrosyl hydride (hno) molecule with b12n12 nanocage was explored by means of density functional calculations. it was found that hno prefers to be adsorbing on a boron atom of the cage with adsorption energy of -0.65 ev. this adsorption process significantly shifts the homo-lumo gap (eg) of the cage to lower energies, thereby reducing eg of the cage from 6.84 to 2.45 ev. ti...

The efficacy of two trap designs (Pherocon 1C "wing" trap versus Pherocon VI "delta" trap) and two pheromone blends for monitoring obliquebanded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris), was evaluated in Minnesota apple orchards during the 2001 and 2002 field seasons. Two distinct flight periods of C. rosaceana were recorded yearly in Minnesota. Overwintered C. rosaceana larvae resumed acti...
