On voiding cystourethrography ( VCU ) not a few patients embarrass the examiner as they can not void on an X-ray table from shame. To allow the patient to void without such embarrassment, we developed a new type of urinary pot named the " VCU pot", which is a gourd -shaped pot made of a vinyl chloride plate. VCU pot is put between the patient's thighs and suspended with a pair of strings from t...

The interaction of retention time in the rumen and concentrate diet on methane production in vitro and acetate:propionate ratio was examined. Twenty-four fistulated sheep were used in a complete factorial design with the sheep randomly divided into 4 groups. The sheep had a 5-wk acclimatization period on an oaten chaff diet, followed by two 3-wk diet phases. Two of the 4 groups were maintained ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Improper practices of making direct smears of sputum for detection of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) and of disposing sputum cups are hazardous. The present study was undertaken with the objective to stain sputum samples in their containers by 'phenol (10%) ammonium sulphate (4%) basic fuchsin (2%) solution' and to decolourize and counterstain their smears for detection of AFB-...

At same time, data collection techniques in were carried out by triangulation which included observation, documentation, and literacy. The implementation of is four ways: 1) planning, includes preparation a Semester Learning Plan (RPS); 2...

The one-pot synthesis of a target molecule in the same reaction vessel is widely considered to be an efficient approach in synthetic organic chemistry. In this review, the characteristics and limitations of various one-pot syntheses of biologically active molecules are explained, primarily involving organocatalytic methods as key tactics. Besides catalysis, the pot-economy concepts presented he...

We propose a procedure for supervised classification that is based on potential functions. The potential of a class is defined as a kernel density estimate multiplied by the class’s prior probability. The method transforms the data to a potential-potential (pot-pot) plot, where each data point is mapped to a vector of potentials. Separation of the classes, as well as classification of new data ...

to determine the effect of pot level and nutrient leaching on albinism disorder in strawberry (fragaria ananassa duch cv `camaroso`) cultivated in perlite substrate an experiment was conducted in 2006. yield was determined three times (january-february, march-april and may-june). the results indicated that plants located in an upper position showed more albinism (40.42%) which could be related ...
