We prove that every continuum of weight א1 is a continuous image of the Čech-Stone-remainder R∗ of the real line. It follows that under CH the remainder of the half line [0,∞) is universal among the continua of weight c — universal in the ‘mapping onto’ sense. We complement this result by showing that 1) under MA every continuum of weight less than c is a continuous image of R∗, 2) in the Cohen...

Porous concrete can be used as a drainage system that allows rainfall to percolate into the ground, reduce stormwater runoff, and recharge groundwater. consists of coarse aggregate cement paste. Stone mining waste in river, namely medium-sized gravel which is often called blondos stone, has not been optimally building material. Based on these reasons, it tried use stone porous concrete. Three v...

The present investigation aims at the study of properties of concrete in which stone dust is used as a partial replacement for coarse sand and tyre-chips of size 4.7 to 10 mm as partial replacement of coarse aggregate by weight.

prevalence of urolithiasis in childhood is increasing. the wide geographic variation in the incidence of lithiasis in childhood is related to climatic, dietary, and socioeconomic factors. many children with stone disease have a metabolic abnormality. in southeast asia, urinary calculi are endemic and are related to dietary factors. the main aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of r...

Burmese long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis aurea) are one of a limited number of wild animal species to use stone tools, with their tool use focused on pounding shelled marine invertebrates foraged from intertidal habitats. These monkeys exhibit two main styles of tool use: axe hammering of oysters, and pound hammering of unattached encased foods. In this study, we examined macroscopic u...

In an experiment with 288 laying hens from a commercial strain (Hy-line W36), the effect of partial and total replacement of soybean meal, corn grain, wheat grain and wheat bran with dried tomato pulp (DTP) on performance and egg quality was determined. In the 12 week experiment, hens (27 to 38 weeks of age) were allocated to four dietary treatments being: DTP0, DTP50, DTP100 and DTP150 of 72 b...

Of 406 consecutive patients with gall-bladder stones, 387 were treated by cholecystectomy and 19 were treated with chenodeoxycholic acid. The gall stones found in 356 of the 387 patients at operation were analysed chemically for cholesterol and calcium, physically for number, size, and mass, and radiologically before cholecystectomy for stone lucency. Gall stones rich in cholesterol (greater th...

Effect of various washing process on the properties of indigo dyed four-way stretch denim fabric was studied in this research. The different washing techniques (Dark washenzymatic treatment, Medium washenzymatic treatment with pumice stone, Bleach washenzymatic treatment with bleaching powder and pumice stone, Acid Wash-Enzymatic treatment with potassium permanganate and pumice stone) were appl...

We report a case of primary small cell carcinoma of the ureter with squamous cell and transitional cell carcinomatous components associated with ureteral stone, which is unique in that the patient has remained free of tumor recurrence for 36 months after the surgery without adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy. A 60-yr-old man presented himself with a right flank pain. Computed tomography reve...
