The incidence of patellar fractures accounts for almost 1% of all skeletal fractures. In case of a displaced patellar fracture, surgical intervention is often advocated for earlier stability, restoration of knee motion, and shortened morbidity. Among various fixations, the AO modified tension band technique, which incorporates two parallel Kirschner wires with an anterior tension band, is the m...

A five-point thirty-two convergence order derivative-free iterative method to find simple roots of non-linear equations is constructed. Six function evaluations are performed achieve optimal 26-1 = 32 conjectured by Kung and Traub [1]. Secant approximation the derivative computed around initial guess. High attained constructing polynomials quotients for functional values.

This paper argues that Chinese- Kung-fu films are unique presentations of human movement as a system bodily aesthetics. By adopting Daoist aesthetics yin-yang cosmology, martial artists perform the dictum by Zhuanzi’s “The myriad things come out ji and go into ji”, with character some kind Deleuzian “desiring machine”. There we see human-technicality convergence characterized posthuman merger w...

The primary goal of making silage is to maximize the preservation of original nutrients in the forage crop for feeding at a later date. Unfortunately, fermentation in the silo is a very uncontrolled process usually leading to less than optimal preservation of nutrients. In order to assist in the fermentation process, various silage additives have been used to improve the nutrient and energy rec...

Hypervariable parts of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were amplified enzymatically and sequenced directly by using genomic DNA from single plucked human hairs. This method has been applied to study mtDNA sequence variation among 15 members of the !Kung population. A genealogical tree relating these aboriginal, Khoisan-speaking southern Africans to 68 other humans and to one chimpanzee has the deepes...
