OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of high-pressure pulsatile lavage (HPL) versus bulb syringe (BS) irrigation in removing particulate matter from metaphyseal cancellous bone. DESIGN Four grams of particulate graphite were placed in twenty distal femoral intraarticular osteotomies performed on New Zealand rabbit hind limbs. Two groups of ten specimens were then irrigated using either HP...

An experiment was conducted to estimate genetic parameters in six experimental and five commercial primary breeding turkey lines using DNA fingerprinting. Eighteen individual DNA samples per line were digested with an HaeIII restriction enzyme and hybridized with Jeffreys' 33.6 probe. The DNA fingerprints were analyzed with computer programs to measure band sharing (BS) and band frequencies. Wi...

Since WSN having a limitation of the limited battery life time and if the battery will die soon i.e. Network has a finite lifespan. The most famous issue facing network designers in wireless networks is to maximize network life. In wireless communication devices, due to resource constraints sensors evidence and delivery of reliable data is a difficult task. The motivation behind this study is t...

We study the behavior under perturbations of different versions of Bak-Sneppen (BS) model in 1+1 dimension. We focus our attention on the damage-spreading features of the BS model with both random as well as deterministic updating, with sequential as well as parallel updating. In addition, we compute analytically the asymptotic plateau reached by the distance after the growing phase. Typeset us...

This work aims to design the uplink (UL) of a cellular network for maximal energy efficiency (EE). Each base station (BS) is randomly deployed within a given area and is equipped with M antennas to serve K user equipments (UEs). A multislope (distance-dependent) path loss model is considered and linear processing is used, under the assumption that channel state information (CSI) is acquired by ...

B chromosomes (Bs) are known for more than hundred years but their origin, structure and pattern of evolution are not well understood. In the past few years new methodological approaches, involving isolation of Bs followed by whole DNA amplification, DNA probe generation, and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) or the B chromosome DNA sequencing, has allowed detailed analysis of their orig...

The ranges and space use of eight radio-tracked Spanish Imperial Eagles are described. The annual mean range was 25 146 ha during the breeding season (BS) and 20 557 ha in the non-breeding season (NBS). The eagles were found up to 35.9 km away from their nest during BS and nearly 62 km away during NBS. The maximum total distance covered in one day was 113.6 km, with males flying longer distance...

Integral equation formulation for the problem of finding a circularly symmetric scatter density (SD) around the mobile is deduced, and the SD is computed assuming that the distribution of angle-of-arrival (AoA) in base station is known. The corresponding integral equation is solved by using the spline collocation method. Thus, instead of fitting a priori selected SD to estimated AoA distributio...
