Abdominal radiograph showing The anal ta severe constipation. pain-it ind which is. Constipation is the commonest cause of abdominal pain in childhood. A full rectum may compress the bladder, causing urinary problems. Constipation may be considered as either the passage of hard stools or an irregular bowel habit. Less easily recognisable is the passage of only small motions each day with the ch...

Fusarium graminearum is a plant pathogen infecting several important cereals, resulting in substantial yield losses and mycotoxin contamination of the grain. Triazole fungicides are used to control diseases caused by this fungus on a worldwide scale. Our previous microarray study indicated that 15 ABC transporter genes were transcriptionally upregulated in response to tebuconazole treatment. He...

In this paper, an improved artificial bee colony (I-ABC) algorithm for the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of a photovoltaic module array (PVMA) is presented. Even though P-V output characteristic curve with multi-peak was generated due to any damages or shading discovered on PVMA, I-ABC could get rid stuck local (LMPP), but quickly and stably track global (GMPP), thereby improving generati...

Veblen has given a set of axioms for geometry.!. The first eight of these are as follows : % Axiom I. There exist at least two distinct points. Axiom II. If points A, B, C are in the order ABC, they are in the order CBA. Axiom III. If points A, B, C are in the order ABC, they are not in the order BCA. Axiom IV. If points A, B, C are in the order ABC, then A is distinct from C. Axiom V. If A and...

The concept that the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator, the protein product of the CF gene, can conduct larger multivalent anions such as ATP as well as Cl- is controversial. In this review, I examine briefly past findings that resulted in controversy. It is not the goal of this review to revisit these disparate findings in detail. Rather, I focus intently on more recent ...

Suppose that ABC is a triangle in the Euclidean plane and I its incenter. Then the Euler lines of ABC, IBC, ICA, and IAB concur at a point S, the Schiffler center of ABC. In the main theorem of this paper we give a projective generalization of this result and in the final part, we construct Schiffler-like points and a lot of other related centers. Other results in connection with the Schiffler ...

The concept of atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index was introduced in the chemical graph theory in 1998. The atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index of a graph G defined as (see formula in text) where E(G) is the edge set and di is the degree of vertex v(i) of G. Very recently Graovac et al. define a new version of the ABC index as (see formula in text) where n(i) denotes the number of vertices of G w...

ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters are arguably the most important family of ATP-driven transporters in biology. Despite considerable effort and advances in determining the structures and physiology of these transporters, their fundamental molecular mechanisms remain elusive and highly controversial. How does ATP hydrolysis by ABC transporters drive their transport function? Part of the pr...
