objective: in this survey, we have checked the effects of natural (red bell pepper and tomato) and synthetic (astaxanthin and β-carotene) pigments on bloods factors of flower horn (cichlasoma sp.). methods: five treatments (three replicates/treatment) were employed. fishes were separated in fifteen equal groups and were fed for eight weeks with diets containing10 g kg–1 red bell pepper and toma...

Objective(s): Propofol (2, 6-diisopropylphenol) is an intravenous anesthetic that is commonly used for the general anesthesia. It is well known that the spinal cord is one of the working targets of general anesthesia including propofol. However, there is a lack of investigation of the effects of propofol on spinal dorsal horn which is important for the sensory transmission of nociceptive signal...

background: the incidence of rudimentary heterotopic uterine horn pregnancy varies from 1:76,000 to 1:140,000. however the incidence of twin pregnancy i.e. intrauterine pregnancy in unicornuate uterus and its associated rudimentary horn pregnancy is estimated to be around 1 in 10 million gestations. case: here, we present 19 year old pramigravida women with acute haemoperitoneum with diagnosis ...

pregnancy in the rudimentary horn of uterus is rare. uterine rupture is a rare obstetrical catastrophe that occurs before 20 weeks’ gestation in 70% of unicornate uterus cases. a 24-year-old primigravida woman was referred to our hospital due to failed induction-in-17th-weeks-of-her-pregnancy. fetal-death was confirmed on abdominal ultrasound. examination under-anaesthesia revealed -pregnancy-i...

Background: Diagnosis and management of pre-rupture stage of the pregnant horn are difficult and usually missed on a routine ultrasound scan. Furthermore, most cases are detected after rupture of pregnant horn. Case: We presented a 28-year-oldG2 L1 woman with diagnosis of RHP at 14 weeks of gestation. She was initially diagnosed with a normal intrauterine pregnancy, whereas a pregnancy in a rig...

We introduce a Horn description logic called Horn-DL, which is strictly and essentially richer than Horn-Reg , Horn-SHIQ and Horn-SROIQ, while still has PTime data complexity. In comparison with Horn-SROIQ, Horn-DL additionally allows the universal role and assertions of the form irreflexive(s), ¬s(a, b), a 6 . = b. More importantly, in contrast to all the well-known Horn fragments EL, DL-Lite,...

Horn-to-Horn belief revision asks for the revision of a Horn knowledge base such that the revised knowledge base is also Horn. Horn knowledge bases are important whenever one is concerned with efficiency—of computing inferences, of knowledge acquisition, etc. Horn-to-Horn belief revision could be of interest, in particular, as a component of any efficient system requiring large commonsense know...

A new horn with high displacement amplification for ultrasonic welding is developed. The profile of the horn is a nonrational B-spline curve with an open uniform knot vector. The ultrasonic actuation of the horn exploits the first longitudinal displacement mode of the horn. The horn is designed by an optimization scheme and finite element analyses. Performances of the proposed horn have been ev...
