Background. The double haul is a unique feature of single-handed fly casting and is used in both fly fishing and fly casting competition. The movement behaviour during the double haul has not been investigated in previous research. Objectives. Describe the coordination of the rod and line hauling movements during distance fly casting. Methods. Elite fly casters performed distance castin...

The seasonal influence on the seminal characteristics of Shikabrown breeder cocks was evaluated weekly during the three seasons in Northern Guinea Savannah zone of Nigeria. Semen samples were analyzed by gross and routine laboratory methods for volume, motility, concentration, colour, percent dead and percent total abnormality. The highest volume and concentration values of 0.50±0.03ml and 3.60...

SUMMARY A review of out patients diagnosed with rickets during last one and half year revealed 135 cases of rickets among totally 1550 patients refered to our pediatric infectious clinics. Diagnosis were made by the clinical, biochemical, radiological and pathological findings. All the patients were treated by Vit D as needed, follow up examinations were done at least for 6m. We could not see ...

To learn semantic attributes, existing methods typically train one discriminative model for each word in a vocabulary of nameable properties. This “one model per word” assumption is problematic: while a word might have a precise linguistic definition, it need not have a precise visual definition. We propose to discover shades of attribute meaning. Given an attribute name, we use crowdsourced im...

mercury is a dangerous and an extremely toxic element, which can transfer to the food chain.presence of this element in the atmosphere particularly during the rainy seasons cause soil and environmental pollution, therefore this research will evaluate the transformation of mercury vapor from the atmosphere through precipitation into the soil. in the present study, mercury concentrations were det...

Hourly measurements from 51 moored buoys in the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean array (9°N–8°S, 165°E– 95°W) during 1993–2004 are used to document the climatological seasonal and annual mean patterns of diurnal and semidiurnal near-surface wind variability over the tropical Pacific Ocean. In all seasons, the amplitude of the semidiurnal harmonic is approximately twice as large as the diurnal harmonic...

BACKGROUND Asthma is a serious global health problem. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between cold spells and pediatric outpatient visits for asthma. OBJECTIVE To examine the association between cold spells and pediatric outpatient visits for asthma in Shanghai, China. METHODS We collected daily data on pediatric outpatient visits for asthma, mean temperature, relati...

this study investigated the effect of season (wet and dry) on milk composition of the dromedary camel (camelus dromedarius). milk samples representing the wet and dry seasons were analyzed for total solids (ts), fat (f), solids-non-fat (snf), ash, crude protein (cp), nitrogen soluble at ph 4.6 (sn), mineral content (mc) and casein fraction (cnf). camel milk had higher (p<0.05) fat content in th...
