Objectives: The aim of this field study was to explore the relationship between body mass and quad bike induced whole-body vibration (WBV) exposure in a group of New Zealand rural workers. Methods: WBV exposure was recorded using a seat pad mounted tri-axial accelerometer while rural workers (n=34) were driving a quad bike for approximately half an hour on a pre-marked track on farm terrain. Pe...

INTRODUCTION Stature is an important variable in several indices of nutritional status that are applicable to elderly persons. However, stature is difficult or impossible to measure in elderly because they are often unable to maintain the standing position. A alternative is the use of estimated height from measurements of knee height measure. AIMS This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of ...

The sex pheromone of Stenoma catenifer was evaluated in commercial avocado orchards in Guatemala to determine operational parameters, such as optimal lure type, trap height, trap density and estimates of the distances that male moths fly. Of four pheromone dispensers tested, gray and white rubber septa were of equal efficacy, whereas 1-ml low-density polyethylene vials and 2×3-cm polyethylene z...

All planar graphs are 4-colorable and 5-choosable, while some planar graphs are not 4-choosable. Determining which properties guarantee that a planar graph can be colored using lists of size four has received significant attention. In terms of constraining the structure of the graph, for any l∈{3,4,5,6,7}" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline; line-height: normal; ...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this in vitro study was to introduce a new method to describe root canal curvatures and to assess the degree of curvature of human permanent mandibular teeth with curved root canals. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and thirty five mesial root canals of mandibular first and second molar teeth were selected. Access cavities were prepared. After inserting a K-file s...

We study height and roughness distributions of films grown with discrete KardarParisi-Zhang (KPZ) models in a small time regime which is expected to parallel the typical experimental conditions. Those distributions are measured with square windows of sizes 8 ≤ r ≤ 128 gliding through a much larger surface. Results for models with weak finite-size corrections indicate that the absolute value of ...

The destruction of natural forest is increasing due to urbanization, industrialization, settlement and for the agricultural expansion over last few decades, and studies for their recovery need to be undertaken. With this aim, this comparative study was designed to see the effects of deforested soil on germination and growth performance of five different tree species. In the experiment, five spe...

This paper contains a proof of Manin’s conjecture for the singular cubic surface S ⊂ P with a singularity of type E6, defined by the equation x1x 2 2 + x2x 2 0 + x 3 3 = 0. If U is the open subset of S obtained by deleting the unique line from S, then the number of rational points in U with anticanonical height bounded by B behaves asymptotically as cB(logB), where the constant c agrees with th...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to describe the nutritional status of children with severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) using several clinical measurements. METHODS Children aged 2 to 6 years with S-ECC were measured for height, weight, triceps skinfolds (TSF), and measurement of upper mid-arm circumference (MAC). Blood samples assessed: (1) hemoglobin; (2) mean corpuscular volume (MC...
