C4 and C3 grasses were subjected to burning in the laboratory to determine whether there was any significant fractionation of carbon isotopes between plant material and corresponding ash and smoke produced from burning. The results show that smoke produced from C4 grasses is generally depleted in C relative to the original plant, but the magnitude of the C depletion varies with species from <0....

[Purpose] This study investigated the association between floating toe and toe grip strength. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 635 Japanese children aged 9-11 years participated in this study. Floating toe was evaluated using footprint images, while toe grip strength was measured using a toe grip dynamometer. All 1,270 feet were classified into a floating toe group and a normal toe group accor...

In a study of interrelationships among the parameters of ash content, failure stress and cortical area of the horse metacarpal bone, bones from 41 horses aged 1 day to 33 years were analyzed. Calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in bone ash at all ages ranged from 35 to 39, 14 to 17 and .32 to .85%, respectively; range of calcium to phosphorus ratios was 2.1 to 2.6. There was no correlation betwee...

The problem of conventional cement mortar cubes is the requirement to be used for their production. It recognized that production involves a significant release carbon dioxide atmosphere, which detrimental quality environment. To adopt sustainable development building materials, date palm tree has been by numerous researchers partially replace in cubes. study aims: 1. optimize engineering prope...

Fly ash and granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) are major by-products of thermal and steel plants, respectively. These materials often cause disposal problems and environmental pollution. Detailed laboratory investigations were carried out on cement stabilized fly ash-(GBFS) mixes in order to find out its suitability for road embankments, and for base and sub-base courses of highway pavements....

in order to study the yield and forage quality of intercropping barley (hordeum vulgare) and mustard (sinapis alba) in different planting dates, a factorial experiment based on randomized completely block design with three replications was carried out at farm research station, gonbad -e- qabus university. factors were included as three planting dates (15 november, 6 and 20 december 2006) and fo...

INTRODUCTION Idiopathic toe walking, a differential diagnosis for neurological and orthopaedic disorders, has been associated with neurodevelopmental alterations. Neurodevelopmental assessment at early ages using specific tests may improve management and follow-up of these patients. The aim of our study is to analyse the neurodevelopmental characteristics of preschool idiopathic toe-walkers (IT...
