Though cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in peppers is associated with the orf507 gene, definitive and direct evidence that it directly causes male sterility is still lacking. In this study, differences in histochemical localization of anther cytochrome c oxidase between the pepper CMS line and maintainer line were observed mainly in the tapetal cells and tapetal membrane. Inducible and specific...

While the way we build software affects significantly its maintenance in terms of the effort and cost, the experience level of the maintainer in a software acquirers’ organization is also one of concern. In this context, often the maintainer is the user of the system. Unfortunately, it is quite possible to lose the trustworthiness of the software due to the inexperience of the maintainer, espec...

PURPOSE To investigate the optimal strategy for surgical management of traumatic cataract with posterior capsular rupture. METHODS We describe four cases of traumatic cataract with posterior capsular rupture and an in vitro model built to evaluate the optimal infusion pressure during surgery. RESULTS All patients underwent cataract surgery. By using an anterior chamber maintainer to elevate...

The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the performance of space maintainers inserted by male undergraduate students in the College of Dentistry at King Saud University during the academic year 2006-2007. Dental records of children who had at least one space maintainer manufactured for them were reviewed. Two interns examined the selected patients and assessed the performance of...

Preventive orthodontics is an aspect of pediatric dentistry, which requires exclusive set skills and understanding to aid the patient’s treatment properly align teeth. The safest way prevent future malocclusions from tooth loss place a space maintainer (SM), advocated embrace until eruption succedaneous permanent SM manufacturing painstaking process that plentiful communication with laboratory ...

Owing to its relative simplicity and wide range of applications, static slices are specifically proposed for software maintenance and program understanding. Unfortunately, in many cases static slices are overly conservative and therefore too large to supply useful information to the software maintainer. Dynamic slicing methods can produce more precise results, but only for one test case. In thi...
