horizontal transmission of an isolate of the etomopathogenic fungus, beauveria bassiana kcf102, was examined by allowing inoculated eurygaster integriceps put. adults to mate with non-inoculated ones. in case of susceptibility to b. bassiana, there was no significant difference between the males and females. however, there was significant difference among treatments for mortality of non-inocula...

objective: alveolar ridge preservation in patients with inadequate bone volume is one treatment option for successful implant placement and can be done by using bone graft materials. on the other hand, ceno bone has been recently produced by hamanand saz baft kish co. as a bone bioimplant of allograft origin. this study aimed to assess the clinical, histologic and histomorphometric results of b...

time-of-flight diffraction method (tofd) is an amplitude-independent sizing method which is based on the measurement of time-of-flight of defect tip diffracted waves. although tofd can measure through-wall length of defect accurately, this method is not capable of measuring horizontal defect size. in this paper, a new tofd method for evaluating horizontal planar defects is presented. the finite...

the design of cement slurry for horizontal wellbores is challenging as it must present very high quality cement slurry properties e.g. zero free water, less than 50 cc api fluid loss value, appropriate rheology and yield point for effective displacement, adequate compressive strength, which is critical for lightweight slurries, and finally stable cement column behind casing. the main objective ...

a fundamental assumption in prosthetic dentistry is that the axis-orbital plane will usually be parallel to the horizontal reference plane. most articulator systems have incorporated this concept into their designs and use orbitale as the anterior reference point for transferring the vertical position of the maxilla to the articulator. clinical observations of cantonese patients suggest that in...

A teenage girl with a chronic large posterior fossa tumor had primary position right-beating nystagmus with a constant-velocity slow phase. Smooth pursuit was normal to the left but absent to the right. Vestibuloocular move­ ments were present in both directions. The findings are analogous to downbeat and upbeat nystagmus, in which unidirectional pursuit palsies have been postulated as the path...

Horizontal or Lateral Gene Transfer (HGT or LGT) is the transmission of portions of genomic DNA between organisms through a process decoupled from vertical inheritance. In the presence of HGT events, different fragments of the genome are the result of different evolutionary histories. This can therefore complicate the investigations of evolutionary relatedness of lineages and species. Also, as ...
