The application of inorganic nutrient sources is necessary for proper agricultural growth that can ensure high quality food production. A field experiment was carried out in Hansapur, Dhanusha from March 2021 to July study the effect different fertilizer doses on and yield rice. set up a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 7 treatments following three replications. were named as T1: Co...

A mononuclear Co complex, [Co(III)(DPK·OH)2]Cl (DPK = di(2-pyridyl)ketone), was synthesized and reported as a stable catalyst in visible light-driven water oxidation. The optimum turnover number (TON) of complex 1 is 1610, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the largest TON among metal-organic complexes for photocatalytic water oxidation.

Toxic optic neuropathy (TON) is a disease entity which is not only underdiagnosed, but also often diagnosed at a stage when recovery of vision is not possible. This article gives an overview of common causes, clinical features, and management of TON.

Thoracic cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screw fixation can maximize the thread contact with cortical bone, and it is 53.8% higher than that of the traditional pedicle screws. Moreover, it can also enable less tissue dissection and retraction for reduced muscle disruption.Eighty pediatric patients are divided into 4 age groups and their thoracic vertebrae are analyzed on computed tomography (CT)...

Objective To present a previously unreported patient with recurrent spinal metastasis from subcutaneous sacrococcygeal ependymoma who was followed for 16 years. Methods A 50-year-old man who had T9 metastasis from subcutaneous sacrococcygeal ependymoma underwent piecemeal total T9 excision at a local hospital. He was referred to our institute because of weakness in both legs and bowel-bladder d...

Traditionally, the Na+ cation is thought to be largely restricted to the extracellular compartment, while K+ is stored intracellularly. This balance is maintained by the activity of the Na/K-ATPase sodium pump in the cell membrane. As Na+ and its accompanying anions are the principal extracellular osmoles, extracellular accumulation of Na+ inevitably also leads to fluid retention and expansion ...

In this study, we present the first comprehensive analyses of the diversity and distribution of marine protist (micro-, nano-, and picoeukaryotes) in the Western Fram Strait, using 454-pyrosequencing and high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) at five stations in summer 2010. Three stations (T1; T5; T7) were influenced by Polar Water, characterized by cold water with lower salinity (<33) and...

The purpose of this study was to identify the incidence of neuropathic pain occurring after radiofrequency neurotomy of the third occipital nerve (TON). This study was conducted at a teaching hospital from January 1, 2008, to March 31, 2010. With institutional review board approval, Current Procedural Terminology codes were used to identify patients who received radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of...

Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes have been widely applied in seawater desalination (SWRO) and wastewater reclamation as the main desalination technology since 2000. SWRO plants face challenges to reduce energy consumption and brine disposal to lessen marine pollution. To tackle these challenges, a SWRO-PRO (Pressure Retarded Osmosis) System was proposed in the “Mega-ton Water System” project unde...
