Sugarcane demands large amounts of nutrients to reach a high level productivity. Nutrients are generally supplied by mineral fertilizers, but their costs and negative environmental impacts have generated interest in greater use organic nutrient sources such as composted sewage sludge (CSS). In this study, we evaluated changes soil chemical properties after the application CSS or CSS/mineral fer...

This study aimed to enhance the durability of selected green leafy vegetables, including Lettuce and Palak, by manipulating influential factors such as storage conditions (Ambient (35±5°C) Refrigerated (5±5°C)), packing substrate (Low-density polyethylene High-density covers), gas composition using modified atmosphere packaging. Factorial completely randomized design (FCRD) was employed, incorp...

The anatomy of DNA molecules isolated from mature bacteriophage is reviewed. These molecules are linear, duplex DNA consisting mainly of uninterrupted polynucleotide chains. Certain phage (T5 and PB) contain four specifically located interruptions. While the nucleotide sequence of most of these molecules is unique (T5, T3, T7, lambda), some are circular permutations of each other (T2, T4, P22)....

Magnetic resonance imaging revealing abnormally high signal intensity in the thoracic cord, extending from T5 to T10 on a sagittal T2-weighted image (Figure 1A). An axial T2-weighted image showing "owl's eye sign" involving central-anterior cord (Figure 1B), which was consistent with anterior spinal cord syndrome.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of administration of an intercostal nerve block (INB) with general anesthesia to elderly patients undergoing a distal gastrectomy. METHODS Elderly patients (>65 years) undergoing selective gastrectomy were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 80): general anesthesia (Group A); general + INB anesthesia (Group B); or, g...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes in bispectral index (BIS) to determine the controllability and safety of intravenous anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil in different-aged children. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty cases of ASA levels I or II were divided into four groups (A group, ≤ three months old; B group, three months to two years old; C group, two years to six years old; and D group...
