Overview on Cucurbita Maxima Seed

Pumpkin ( cucurbita maxima ) belongs to cucurbitaceae which include pumpkin, gourds, melons and squashes. They are characterized by their seed oil. Pumpkin plant has been grown since the earliest history of mankind 1 . ( Brucher – 1989 ). Pumpkin are grown around the world for variety of agricultural purposes, the seeds show anti helmintic, taenicide diuretic, cardio tonic, anti-inflammatory, a...

Oxygenator evaluation: Maxima 1380 versus Maxima Plus.

Continual improvement of oxygenators has been important in the growing demands of patient safety and support during cardiopulmonary bypass. The purpose of this study was to compare the Maxima 1380 oxygenator to the upgraded Maxima Plus oxygenator. Thirty-two adult patients were randomized to either the 1380 group or the Plus group. Information was recorded on the patients' weight, age, body sur...

Constraints on Cosmological Parameters from Maxima-1

We set new constraints on a seven-dimensional space of cosmological parameters within the class of inflationary adiabatic models. We use the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background measured over a wide range of ` in the first flight of the MAXIMA balloon-borne experiment (MAXIMA-1) and the low ` results from COBE/DMR. We find constraints on the total energy density of the univ...

A Note on Maxima in Random Walks

We give a combinatorial proof that a random walk attains a unique maximum with probability at least 1/2. For closed random walks with uniform step size, we recover Dwass’s count of the number of length ` walks attaining the maximum exactly k times. We also show that the probability that there is both a unique maximum and a unique minimum is asymptotically equal to 1 4 and that the probability t...
