There have been only sporadic reports of rupture of tendons in cases with lupus erythematosus (LE), e.g. rupture of the Achilles tendon (Cowan and Alexander, 1961; Lee, 1961; Bedi and Ellis, 1970) and rupture of the patellar tendon (Twining, Marcus, and Garey, 1964). We here present a case of spontaneous rupture of tendons in the hand of a male with LE. We were unable to find a similar report i...

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary dry fat inclusion on reproductive performance of Shami goats. Forty-five dry Shami goats (2 4 years of age, 64 kg body weight) were selected and divided randomly into 3 groups of 15 goats each in a completely randomized design. Treatments started 45 days before mating using one of three total mixed rations (TMR): 0, 3, or 5% of dry fat. ...

We present a set-theoretic version of some basic dilation results operator theory. The we have considered are Wold decomposition, Halmos dilation, Sz. Nagy inter-twining lifting, commuting and non-commuting dilations, BCL theorem, etc. point out natural generalizations variations.

common plants in every part of India, and describes its botanical characters as follows. ''Flowering time at the close of the rains. Root ramous: stem ligneous, twining ; baric smooth ; young shoots with a few white depressed hairs. Leaves alternate, abruptly pinnate, from two to six inches long. Leaflets opposite, subsessile, from eight to fifteen pair, linear, oblong, smooth, entire, both end...

Twining plants achieve vertical growth by revolving around supports of different sizes on which they exert a pressure. This observation raises many intriguing questions that are addressed within the framework of elastic filamentary structures by modeling the stem close to the apex as a growing elastic rod. The analysis shows that vertical growth is achieved thanks to discrete contact points and...
