The Coptotermes Wasmann (1896), is a highly scattered genus, which represented by nine species. emersoni Ahmad (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae: Coptotermitinae) species first time reported from Southern Haryana, India, with specimens trapped banyan tree. Morphometric analysis of soldiers like body length, head length without mandibles, pigmentation, antennae segments, tibial spur, tarsal width, and ...

INTRODUCTION The shoulder arthroplasty brings satisfaction to patients in terms of quality of life and indolence. However whether anatomic implant or reverse, it does not escape from the loosening of the glenoid component. Moreover, optimal implantation is required to ensure the functional outcome without shortening of the arm. The purpose of this study is obtain CT scan evaluation of the gleno...

It is widely accepted that maternal folic acid (FA) deficiency during pregnancy is a risk factor for abnormal development. The tongue, with multiple genes working together in a coordinated cascade in time and place, has emerged as a target organ for testing the effect of FA during development. A FA-deficient (FAD) diet was administered to eight-week-old C57/BL/6J mouse females for 2-16 weeks. P...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to establish normative data on spherical grip strength of children 3 to 6 years of age with the Martin Vigorimeter. METHOD Two hundred twenty-five preschoolers in the Kalamazoo, Michigan, area were tested with standardized positioning and instructions. The mean of three trials for each hand was used as the grip-strength score. A repeated measure design ...

Measured replay pukes, recorded on Metal Evaporated tape, show a strong asymmetry and dependence on the direction of tape movement. It is found that pulse height and pulse width are unequal for both directions of tape movement. This is attributed to the non longitudinal easy-axis direction which causes differences in headtape geometry for both directions resulting in a different transition widt...

This study describes the morphological, morphometric and ultrastructural characteristics of the Amazonian manatee Trichechus inunguis (Natterer, 1883) spermatozoon. The spermatozoa were obtained from a urine sample of an adult T. inunguis kept in captivity. The spermatozoa were analyzed by light and transmission electron microscopy. The head of Amazonian manatee spermatozoa had a flat oval shap...
