Children with emotional, behavioral or relationship problems may be more inclined to use mobile touchscreen devices (MTSDs: mobiles and tablets) regulate their emotions compensate for the lack of social relationships, which, in turn, affect symptoms. Bi-directional longitudinal associations between difficulties MTSD were analyzed. Participants parents children aged 4–6 years old at first data c...

A novel Mo–28Ti–14Si–6C–6B (atom %) alloy was designed for ultrahigh-temperature applications. Arc-melting and appropriate heat-treatment at 1600°C results in the targeted four-phase microstructure comprising Moss, Mo5SiB2 (T2), Ti5Si3 TiC. Previously developed three-phase alloys, Moss–T2–Ti5Si3 Moss–T2–TiC, are outperformed by this as an adequate balance of oxidation resistance, creep strength...

The RNA subunit of bacterial ribonuclease P is a catalytic RNA that cleaves precursor tRNAs to generate mature tRNA 5' ends. A self-cleaving RNase P RNA-substrate conjugate was used in modification-interference analysis to identify purine N-7 and ribose 2'-hydroxyl functional groups that are critical to catalysis. We identify six adenine N-7 groups and only one 2'-hydroxyl that, when substitute...

OBJECTIVE Our primary objective was to evaluate the effect of peer counselling by mother support groups (MSG's) in improving the infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices in the community. METHODS We conducted this repeated-measure before and after study in the Lalitpur district of Uttar Pradesh, India between 2006 and 2011. We assessed the IYCF practices before and after creating MSG's...

The aim of this study was to detect the major bacteria present in rumen microbiota. Here, we performed qPCR based absolute quantitation of selected rumen microbes in rumen fluid of river buffalo adapted to varying proportion of concentrate to roughage diets. Animals were adapted to roughage-to-concentrate ratio in the proportion of 100:00 (T1), 75:25 (T2), 50:50 (T3) and 25:75 (T4) respectively...

Methods Cardiac MR was used to investigate the development and persistence of edema volume increases in the acute postinfarct period using both T2-weighted STIR imaging and T2 maps. LAD instrumented canines (n=9) underwent three hours of no-flow ischemia followed by reperfusion and were studied [using Siemens 1.5 T Espree scanner] at five time points (before and during ischemia and 2, 5, 7 and ...

OBJECTIVE A relationship between T1ρ relaxation time and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content has been demonstrated in chemically degraded bovine cartilage, but has not been demonstrated with quantitative biochemistry in human cartilage. A relationship has also been established between T2 relaxation time in cartilage and osteoarthritis (OA) severity. We hypothesized that T1ρ relaxation time would be...

Niacin may cause evaporative thermolysis through cutaneous hyperemia, vasodilation, increased sweating rate and decreased skin temperature. It is antilipolytic can improve metabolic responses. Heat stress ameliorative effects of rumen protected niacin (RPN) supplementation in lactating Surti buffaloes during summer has been investigated present study. Fourteen were divided into two groups (Cont...

To assess feasibility and maintenance of bone after alveolar cleft reconstructions using graft from iliac crest mandibular symphysis. 51 clefts grafted with ones symphysis bones were selected patients aged between 7 12 years. At three (T1) months (T2) surgeries, periapical radiographs performed to measure the height based on modified Bergland scale. Chi-square Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon tests compar...
