Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), caused by an array of is the most economically important viral disease of cassava in sub-Saharan Africa. The most frequently reported in West Africa are African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) and East African cassava mosaic Cameroon virus (EACMCV). In this study, 42 cassava leaves and 30 symptomatic weeds belonging to the Asteraceae, Cucurbitaceae and Leguminosae fami...

EDO JAPAN, FEMME FATALES, AND MYTH Group-fantasies of femme fatales are common in Japanese history. The image of an endangered male encountering, or fleeing from, or in the clasp of a dangerous woman is prominent even in Japanese mythology. Before examining mythic motifs, however, we turn to the social environment in which the myths were created as a means of deciphering their meaning. Edo/Toku...

This paper deals with the modeling and process planning of solid freeform fabrication (SFF) of 3D functionally graded materials (FGMs). A novel approach of representation and process planning of FGMs, termed as equal distance offset (EDO), is developed. In EDO, a neutral arbitrary 3D CAD model is adaptively sliced into a series of 2D layers. Within each layer, 2D material gradients are designed...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To find out the state of radiation protection and monitoring practices of the public and private X-ray centres in Edo state. MATERIALS AND METHODS Survey visits were made to all the functional X-ray facilities in Edo state and the available facilities identified, staff interviewed and collected data analyzed. RESULT There are 18 functional X-ray facilities comprising 10 ...

When the Edo shogunate implemented maritime prohibitions (kaikin) in the 1630s, it marked the beginning of a historical era wherein the shoguns strictly regulated Japan's contact with the outside world. In pre-Meiji Japanese history, it represented one of the few moments when such hegemons, whether in Kyoto, Kamakura or, in this case, Edo, were powerful enough to usurp the prerogatives of coast...

BACKGROUND Ipsilateral renal agenesis associated with seminal vesicular cysts is an uncommon finding. Zinner syndrome is a rare variant of wolffian duct anomalies with a triad of seminal vesicle cyst, ipsilateral renal agenesis, and male fertility problems due to ejaculatory duct obstruction (EDO). CASE PRESENTATION A 28-year-old man with 6 years history of primary infertility presented with ...

OBJECTIVES To report our experience with transurethral resection of the ejaculatory ducts (TURED) in infertile men with symptomatic ejaculatory duct obstruction (EDO). PATIENTS AND METHODS Before surgery, all patients complained of a decrease in the volume of their ejaculate, 14 of 15 had a non-projectile ejaculation, nine had a genitourinary infection necessitating antibiotic treatment, and ...

The multi-instability of the electronic structure of (EDO-TTF)2PF6, where EDO-TTF means ethylene-dioxytetrathiafulvalene, is reviewed. This complex showed the metal-insulator transition at 280 K associated with distinct molecular deformations. The mechanism is interpreted as the cooperation of Peierls transition, charge ordering, and the order-disorder transition of the countercomponent. The ch...
