in order to study the effects of intercropping on yield of black cumin in intercropping with chickpea and bean, an experiment was conducted in a complete randomized block design with four replications. crops were planted as pure stands and intercrops in three arrangements: a) alternating rows of a field crop and a medicinal plant, b) two rows of field crops and one row of medicinal plant, c) al...

To investigate the association between locomotion score and types of hoof lesion, cows from 91 selected dairy herds in southern Chile were studied. The locomotion score was recorded for all of the lactating cows (n=10,699). The mean prevalence of lame cows, when all locomotion scores >1 were included was 33.2% in large herds and 28.7% in small herds. There were 39.7%, 42%, 17.9% and 0.4% cows w...

BACKGROUND Rollover footwear is assumed to provide an enhanced surface over which the body can roll more easily. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rollover footwear on the rollover function of walking. METHODS Twenty subjects walked in three conditions: (i) a MBT shoe (Masai Barefoot Technology) characterized by a stiff sole rounded in the anterior-posterior direction; (...

The authors present a rare case of double skin tumors: acral lentiginous melanoma and metatypical carcinoma. The tumors were manifested as gradually enlarging ulcerations on the leg and sole of the foot that did not respond to standard treatment. The skin biopsies showed advanced acral lentiginous melanoma on the sole and metatypical carcinoma of the lower leg. Soon after the diagnosis was made...

The paper proposes a new method for multistage plowing that implies loosening bottom soil and subsoil horizon simultaneously, followed by overturning the without cutting, which improves quality of cultivation, softens plow sole reduces energy costs. Experimental studies confirmed theoretical relationship determining resistance, both certain working bodies section, whole plow. proposed provides ...

The metamorphic sole rocks at the base of mantle peridotites from the Mersin ophiolite consist of amphibolites and metasedimentary lithologies. Mineral parageneses in the metamorphic sole rocks exhibit amphibolite and greenschist facies assemblages. Geothermobarometric studies based on mineral assemblages and chemical compositions of minerals indicate that average metamorphic temperature during...
