Research Associate, College of Vety.Sc.& A.H., Anjora, Durg, Chhattisgarh (India) The present study was performed in 12 buffaloes, six with retained fetal membrane and six normal parturient buffaloes. Blood samples were taken for estimation of some haematological and biochemical constituents. The total leucocyte count, and eosinophil, monocyte and basophil percent did not vary significantly bet...

The rational function model (RFM) utilized for high resolution satellite imagery (HRSI) provides a transformation from image to object space coordinates in a geographic reference system. Compared with the rigorous model based on the collinearity condition equation or the affine model, the RFM with 80 coefficients would be over parameterized. That would result in an ill-conditioned normal equati...

We reveal that males of two members of the Anopheles gambiae s.l. species complex, Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae s.s. (hereafter A. gambiae), which are both malaria vectors, perform a stereotypical acoustic behaviour in response to pure tones at frequencies that encompass the frequency range of the female's flight-tones. This behaviour resembles that described for Culex quinquefascia...

OBJECTIVES To access the effectiveness of radiofrequency myolysis (RFM) in women with midline dysmenorrhea. METHODS We designed RFM in two ways laparoscopic RFM (LRFM), vaginal ultrasound-guided RFM (URFM). One hundred and thirty-two patients were in the LRFM group and, 140 patients were in the URFM group. RESULTS Upon receipt of surgery, both the LRFM and the URFM groups demonstrated a sig...

In rabbits, 9 g rectus femoris (RFM) muscles were grafted with tendon repair and with (1) nerves and blood vessels intact, (2) nerves intact and blood vessels anastomosed, or (3) nerves and blood vessels anastomosed. The influences of tendon, nerve, and vascular repair on the functional capabilities of grafts were compared 15-120 days after grafting. Data were collected on the mass, total prote...

BACKGROUND Women presenting with reduced fetal movements (RFM) in the third trimester are at increased risk of stillbirth or fetal growth restriction. These outcomes after RFM are related to smaller fetal size on ultrasound scan, oligohydramnios and lower human placental lactogen (hPL) in maternal serum. We performed this study to address whether a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of the manag...

We molecularly cloned and analyzed an N-tropic ecotropic retrovirus induced with iododeoxyuridine from RFM/Un mouse cell cultures. Based on the restriction map, the RFM/Un virus appears to be indistinguishable from other induced N-tropic retroviruses. A nucleotide sequence analysis of the long terminal repeat of an infectious clone revealed structural features characteristic of murine type C re...

The standard RFM models used by direct marketers include behavioral variables, but ignore the role of marketing communications. In addition, RFM models allow customer responsiveness to vary across different customers, but not across different time periods. Hence, the authors first extend RFM models by incorporating the effects of marketing communications and temporal heterogeneity. Then, using ...
