the paroxysm falls with greatest force upon the abdominal viscera, although it cannot be said that the contents of the thorax or cranium altogether escape. Storms of this kind, recurring during a succession of malarious seasons, tend to lower the muscular tone of all the vascular channels-?more especially the arterioles, and to weaken the organs of digestion and assimilation, ending sooner or l...

Chester : J. E. Cornish. October and November, 1884. We heartily welcome this most recent evidence of the vigour of thought and work in the provinces. If the Medical Chronicle can maintain, even approximately, the high promise of its first numbers, it is evident that it must hold a foremost place among British journals ; and if we may judge from the names which appear among its supporters and c...

met on common ground, and have to the general advantage described and compared their experiences, hypotheses, researches, and results. I have had for a number of years the opportunity of administering anaesthetics for dental operations at the Royal Infirmary, the Dental Hospital, and in private, to a very large number of patients, representing every class, every age, every degree of health, vig...

Despite initial evidence on employees’ motives for telecommuting, studies so far never investigated if and how distinct telecommuting might co-occur. In the current study (N wave 1 = 1297 employees; N 2 564 employees), we use Latent Class Analysis identify three classes reflecting specific combinations of motives: job requirement class (telecommuting because one has to), efficiency to cope with...

Abstract Seed physiology of 15 Eucalyptus species interest for cut foliage plantations was unknown and therefore evaluated. The viability vigour seeds germination potential determined by using a tetrazolium (TZ) staining test, the results were compared to test. In separate experiment, each lot subjected either 0 or 4-week cold stratification at 4 ± 1 °C investigate their requirement. After stra...

The effect of scarification and stratification treatments on germination seedling vigour fresh teak drupes was investigated. were subjected to the following viz., control, acid (500 mL/kg drupe) for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 60 min. Cold 40 days at 5o C. Warm 40o treated control sown in sand filled earthen pots placed direct sunlight assessing germination. experiment conducted a Completely ...

Seed dormancy is a genetically inherited trait whose intensity is modified by the environment during seed development and maturation. In order to study the effect of harvest time on the seed quality and optimum time of sowing to obtain good quality seeds, freshly threshed seeds of ten diverse rice genotypes harvested from six environments were evaluated for seed dormancy and seedling vigour ind...

Seed dormancy is the major challenge in cultivation of Amaranth and Cleome gynandra. C. gynandra are affected by chemical, physical, physiological dormancy. The current study was conducted at Marondera University Agricultural Sciences Technology (MUAST) farm 2021 2022. effects gibberellic acid potassium nitrate seed treatments on emergence seedling vigour were evaluated. Seeds pre-soaked (contr...

Alternaria dauci (J.G. Kühn) J.W. Groves et Skolko and A. radicina Meier, Drechsler E.D. Eddy are important seed-transmitted pathogens of carrot. The aim this study was to evaluate the effects acetic acid treatments on quality stored carrot seeds. Seeds two samples were soaked for 30 min in 0.5, 1 2% acid. Controls included untreated seeds, seeds distilled water treated with fungicide Zaprawa N...

Yellow seed colour in Brassica napus is a desired trait and has a strong impact on the quality of Canola and the processed products from the seed. The trait is accompanied with a thinner seed coat when compared to black seeds. For the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, different mutants have been characterised showing the transparent testa phenotype to be associated with light seed colour due to...
